MEET THE FAM: @thebellemethod

In this Vush Fam Q+A we chat to Nikki Bergen of @thebellemethod about post-partum sex, how you don’t have to be fancy when treating yourself to self love and the importance of talking about self pleasure.

We know what you’re thinking (we’re thinking it too!) and yes, Nikki is the kind of inspiration we all need in our lives at one stage or another!

What are your favourite ways to treat yourself to more self love?  
As a mama with a toddler and baby, self love often takes the backseat! Right now, taking a bath and locking the door is like a trip to the spa. HA. Also, eating dark chocolate in bed, and catching up on my fav Netflix show. It doesn’t have to be fancy to make you feel good!  

What do you love most about being in the Vush Fam? 
I love being part of a movement that is about empowering women! So many women -  moms especially – suffer from shame around their sexuality. As someone who works in pelvic health, I get so many messages from new moms experiencing pain from sex. It’s high time women reclaim their sexuality and focus on pleasure for themselves - instead of making it about pleasing their partner! We need to be able to talk about this!  

What are your tips for anyone who is overcoming the stigma around self pleasure? 
You deserve to feel good! Men do it ALL the time lol. Why can’t women enjoy self pleasure too? Just go for it ladies.  

What are three things you’d tell your younger self? 
Ask for what you want! If it’s not feeling good, don’t feel obligated to continue! Get a vibrator!
