FREE SELF-ASSESSMENT
You’ve been trying to get
answers for a long time.
This is the place to start.
A free self-assessment from a Registered Psychologist who specializes in sexual pain. 75 questions. Four areas. A clearer picture of what’s actually happening.
This assessment is for you if you've been experiencing pelvic, vaginal, or vulvar pain and you still don't have a complete picture of what's driving it or what to do about it.
Maybe you've seen a doctor and walked away without real answers. Maybe you're already in physiotherapy and the physical work is helping, but something is still missing. Maybe you've been managing this alone for months or years and you're tired of not understanding what's actually happening in your body.
75 to 80 percent of women will experience sexual pain at some point in their lives. The average woman sees five physicians before getting a real diagnosis. If you've felt dismissed, confused, or like something is permanently wrong with you, you are not the exception. You are, unfortunately, the norm.
This assessment won't diagnose you. What it will do is help you see clearly, probably for the first time, what sexual pain is doing across all four areas it tends to affect: your body, your sense of self, your relationship, and your experience of pleasure.
THE ASSESSMENT
What’s Inside
The assessment mirrors the intake process I use with clients in my clinical practice. It covers four sections:
Your Body. Where the pain is, when it started, how it presents, and what patterns you've noticed. The kind of specific information that gets lost in a rushed medical appointment.
Your sense of self. The beliefs that tend to form around chronic sexual pain, including the ones that feel completely true and are almost never accurate.
Your relationship. How the pain has moved into your emotional connection, your communication, and your physical intimacy with a partner.
Your experience of pleasure. The area most women feel least allowed to address. It's in here because it matters.
Each section includes guidance on what your answers point to, and the final page maps your responses to specific next steps, including which module of my workshop addresses each area directly.
Seven pages. Designed to be worked through with a pen. Free.
ABOUT
Why Tami-lee
About 15 years ago, a gynecologist I was connected with learned that I was a psychologist working in sexual health. He started sending me academic research, introduced me to pelvic floor physiotherapists in the area, and began referring women to me who were experiencing sexual pain. That conversation changed the direction of my practice.
I built this assessment because the information most women need exists. It's just locked behind appointment waitlists, benefit limits, and the particular difficulty of saying these things out loud to a stranger before you're ready.
I contribute to public sexual health education through media including a recurring series on CBC Edmonton AM, and I consult for professionals working in the area of sexual health. I practice primarily online throughout Alberta and British Columbia.
You don't have to book a session to get real answers.
