In the Self:Cervix utopia, there would be an abundant supply of conscious doctors, long fingers and lube infused with unicorn essence (haha!). Cervical imagery would be printed on the national flag. No way in hell would it be cut or lasered in haste (yes, this happens), banged (this totally happens, ahem) or ignored! At the same time, women would be paid equally, have strong boundaries and expressed desires. Ok maybe we're taking it too far now.
Just joking.
Actually, we're not. We're serious.
We are a community dedicated to revolutionising the way the cervix is viewed by the medical profession, by science and sex educators. We are a global network of practitioners, teachers, learners and lovers devoted to healing and exploring the orgasmic potential of the cervix.
And we are impatient.
Your cervix is capable of producing exquisite pleasure. Though maybe you'd rather lick a toilet brush than have your cervix touched. We get it. You see the cervix has been medicalised and in some cases traumatised so it can feel icky or numb.
BUT the cervix is connected to THREE SETS of paired nerves; more than any other part of our sexual or reproductive anatomy. And yet for most women it is the least sexually responsive. Strange right? Most innervated yet least responsive?
Doctors and sex therapists write off discomfort as ‘normal’. But quite frankly, who's happy with 'normal'? (If you're reading a website about cervical activation, definitely NOT YOU.)
This normalisation of numbness means that doctors don't realise the impact of invasive medical procedures on sexual response.
Cervical trauma also means we may avoid touching it because, well, it may feel icky.
But we can love it back to life and pleasure.

Our mission is to help clients override unconscious touch patterns, particularly ‘going along with’ touch and to empower a client to be the authority of her own body. Clients leave sessions feeling like they learnt something, that they are in charge and that they have the power to receive exactly what they would like and no more.
We donate a portion of every sale to i=change, an organisation dedicated to supporting projects with a focus on empowering women and girls.
Everyone who has a cervix deserves to experience this medicine. We know this is not always possible when money is a roadblock. So as a community we’re here to support those who don’t have the means to do this work. We offer a number of mutually beneficial exchanges and scholarships for the Release journey.
If you’d like to apply for a scholarship, email us atsupport@selfcervix.com with the subject line: scholarship.
Scholarship applications must be received one month prior to each journey – March 1, August 1.

In 2015, a Tantric bodyworker had his finger on my cervix.
This is not my preferred way to introduce myself on the internet to the entire world. But I do it for a good cause.
So back in 2015, Matt Schwenteck had his finger on my cervix during a healing session. What I didn’t realise was that my cervix would become the focus of the session. I also didn’t realise that this session would change the course of my life.
There, on a hot day in Bali, I discovered my cervix was numb.
As a sexologist and sex nerd, I know the cervix to be a powerful place of pleasure so I was determined to transform it. After eight months of work, play and exploration, my cervix began to feel and my orgasmic capacity shifted tremendously. Today, I’m joined by 3000 other women who are all interested in healing, learning and exploring the powerful and magical gateway of the cervix.
May your cervixes be the portals of bliss they were made to be.

Aside from that, he’s a masterful bodyworker, long time student of the Wheel of Consent and co-founded the School of Consent.

She is Olivia’s right hand woman in many ways and we love her expertise on consent. She is a transformational leadership and empowerment coach and facilitator. She co-founded the School of Consent.
Strategic Advisor
Everyone needs a Kylie on their shoulder. Kylie is an astute, conscious business woman who believes in the power of community and peer learning. Not only that but she’s steeped in feminine wisdom and is training in process oriented psychology – a brilliant combo.
