Join us for an insightful webinar tailored specifically for the Women with Myositis group. Led by Noelle Benach, a licensed psychotherapist and certified sex therapist, this session will address the unique challenges and strategies for maintaining intimacy while living with myositis.

During the webinar, Noelle will explore how myositis impacts sexual health, delving into both physical and emotional challenges such as fatigue, pain, and changes in libido. Participants will learn practical tips for adapting intimacy practices, including effective communication with partners and strategies for energy management. Additionally, the session will highlight the importance of self-care and mental health in fostering intimate relationships.
