About the panel
What women describe — and rarely hear addressed plainly
In honor of National Women's Health Week, Eros Platform hosted a panel, Women, Menopause and Orgasmic Meditation: Reconnecting to Sensation, exploring what happens to women's experience of sensation, desire, and connection during perimenopause and menopause — and whether practices like OM may help women reconnect with their bodies during that transition.
The conversation will speak directly to experiences many women describe but rarely hear addressed plainly:
- Diminished sensation and emotional numbness
- Nervous system dysregulation
- Loss of desire and disconnection from the body
- The feeling that something essential has gone quiet
OM was developed around cultivating awareness of sensation — not orgasm as a goal, but the ability to feel, notice, and remain connected to the body. For many women moving through major hormonal shifts, that opens a different conversation around intimacy, vitality, and embodiment.
The Panel
Who you'll hear from
Host
Lissa Boileau, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, PMHNP. Lissa brings a clinician's lens to the conversation, drawing on her work in psychiatric care to ground the discussion in what women are actually experiencing in their bodies and nervous systems through the midlife transition.
Panelist
Dr. Teresa Diaz, MD, OBGYN
OB/GYN and functional medicine specialist. Author of Menopause Reimagined: The Female Operating System for the Second Half of Life. Her work reframes menopause not as decline, but as a major transition in the female body — and explores desire and pleasure as central to women's health.
Why this matters
A practice built to restore the capacity to feel.
OM was developed specifically to restore and deepen the capacity to feel: not orgasm as a goal, but the practice of attention, presence, and connection.
For women moving through perimenopause and menopause — when sensation, desire, and the felt sense of one's own body can shift profoundly — that re-opening can be life-changing.
This panel reframes the midlife transition not as decline, but as a doorway into a different conversation around intimacy, vitality, and embodiment.
