Intimacy can feel intimidating to navigate after a breast cancer diagnosis, but that doesn’t mean it’s a part of your life you can’t get back. This session will explore the mental, physical and emotional changes and challenges you may be experiencing in the bedroom, and provide tools and resources for how to tackle them.

These roles may change over time, but there are universal tips and tricks that will continue to benefit you both in the long run.
