Over the last few months I’ve gained some new followers - and there are some of you who’ve been around for a long time, but still don’t know my story ~ so I wanted to reintroduce myself.
My name is Eboni Q,
This is the work I do, and it didn’t come solely from a textbook.
It came from years of living in a body that felt unpredictable, painful, and confusing.
Painful periods.
Endometriosis.
Pain during intimacy.
And the deeper frustration of not having real answers.
What I’ve learned is this:
When your body is in constant pain, especially in the womb:
There are patterns.
There is tension.
There are ways your body has learned to brace and protect itself.
And most women have never been taught how to recognize that, let alone change it.
That’s the work.
Learning how to:
• understand what your body is doing
• release the tension you’ve been holding
• build a different relationship with your body over time
If intercourse has been tense, uncomfortable, or painful…
You’re not alone.
If you’re ready to explore this work,
I’m hosting a free workshop: Below The Belly Button

But before you head over to my bio…introduce yourself, share a fact, tell me something about you 👇🏾 below in the comments
There was a time when I thought something was wrong with my body.
Sex felt tense. Sometimes painful.
And no matter how much I wanted to relax… my body wouldn’t follow.
What I didn’t understand then is that the body doesn’t just “tighten for no reason.”
It responds to patterns.
Stress. Pressure. Past pain.
Moments where it didn’t feel fully safe to soften.
And over time, that tension can become the baseline.
This is something I see often with women experiencing painful intimacy.
Especially when they’ve already been told everything looks normal.
There is nothing random about your body’s response.
There is a pattern. And patterns can be retrained.
That’s the work I teach.
Not forcing.
Not pushing through pain.
But learning how to work with your body so it can feel safe enough to release.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to support you inside my workshop
Below The Belly Button

The default advice becomes
“do more kegels.”
But for many women, that’s not the issue.
And when vaginal muscles are already tight, adding more contraction doesn’t create relief… it often adds to the discomfort.
When the body has learned to expect pain, it will protect you the best way it knows how
by bracing. The work then becomes learning how to shift that pattern.
Gently. Consistently. In a way your body can actually receive.
This is something we begin to explore inside my workshop
Below The Belly Button
If this has been your experience, you’re not alone in it.
Join us for the next workshop, The link is in my bio.
A lot of women are quietly trying to manage their way through se x instead of enjoying it.
Preparing for the pain and discomfort.
Trying not to tighten up.
Hoping this time feels different.
And after a while, some women start wondering if painful se x is just something they have to live with.
It’s not.
If this feels familiar, start with the “Why Does Se x Hurt?” quiz in my bio.
A lot of women are craving more than intimacy.
They’re craving the experience of being able to fully let go in their body.
To stop mentally managing the moment.
To stop bracing.
To stop holding themselves back subconsciously.
Because pleasure feels different
when not just the body, but the whole being feels safe enough to fully receive it.
And I think deep down, a lot of women know there’s more available to them than what they’ve settled for so far.
If that’s you…
start with the “Why Does S~x Hurt?” quiz in my bio. 💜
For a long time, expression felt unsafe for me.
As a child, I was made to feel annoying for being expressive, playful, loud, and fully seen. Later, that same energy was labeled as “showing off,” and I carried that wound quietly into adulthood.
So every time I step onto a stage, dance, sing, or guide women through Womb Rhythms bellydance, it becomes something deeper than performance for me. It becomes reclamation.
Inside my workshops, I remind women to move fully, speak clearly, laugh loudly, and stop shrinking themselves to make others comfortable. Because expression is not a flaw. It is part of how we remember who we are.
Your voice.
Your movement.
Your presence.
Your creativity.
None of it was ever “too much.”
A lot of women who struggle with painful intimacy don’t “look” like they’re struggling.
They’re still smiling.
Still loving their partner.
Still showing up to life normally.
Meanwhile, in private, intimacy has started to feel mentally exhausting.
because the body has slowly started associating intimacy with pressure, tension, discomfort, or pain.
And once that happens, a woman can slowly start disconnecting from parts of herself without realizing it.
That’s why this work became so important to me.
Because painful intimacy affects so much more than s~x.
It affects affection.
Relaxation.
Presence.
The ability to feel safe enough to fully let go.
And when women finally understand what their body is responding to underneath the surface, everything starts making more sense.
This is the work I teach inside The Womb Love Method™ and Below The Belly Button 🤍
A lot of women don’t realize painful intimacy can eventually affect more than s~x.
It can affect kissing.
Affection.
Presence.
Relaxation.
The ability to stay in the moment without mentally preparing for what might happen next.
And over time, that can feel exhausting and confusing… especially when you genuinely desire connection.
This is why I believe painful intimacy isn’t “just physical.”
The body, nervous system, emotions, anticipation, and past experiences all start interacting together.
Inside my workshop, Below The Belly Button, I break down these protective patterns in a way women can actually understand, without shame.

Some women aren’t avoiding intimacy because they don’t want connection.
They’re avoiding the tension, discomfort, and emotional frustration they already know might come with it.
If this felt familiar, take the “Why Does S x Hurt?” quiz. 💜
This is the part nobody explains.
You can want intimacy… and your body still doesn’t feel safe enough to receive it.
So now you’re stuck managing the moment instead of experiencing it.
If you’ve felt this before, DM me “help”
Let’s talk about whats actually happening.
Most women don’t think to themselves,
“I’m ignoring my body.”
They talk to themselves like this…
And it sounds normal.
It sounds manageable.
It even sounds strong.
But this is what it looks like
when you’ve learned to ignore the moment your body tenses and keep going anyway.
When something in you hesitates…
tightens…
pulls back…
and you choose to keep going
And the longer you stay in that pattern,
pushing past that first signal, instead of seeking to understand why your body is responding this way,
the more your body learns:
this is something I have to brace for.
So the next time?
Your body prepares to fight.
And over time, it becomes harder to feel
open, at ease, or fully present
in your body during intimacy.
If this feels familiar,
take the “Why Does S-x Hurt?” quiz.
It’ll help you understand what your body has been trying to communicate this whole time.
A lot of women are trying to figure out why s3ggs feels uncomfortable, tense, or painful, and not getting clear answers.
So you adjust.
Push through.
Or avoid it.
Not because you want to, but because you don’t understand what’s happening in your body.
That’s where this work starts.
If this names your experience, I created a quiz to help you understand why s3ggs hurts and what might be going on in your body.
