    Does this sound familiar?

    These are the things women whisper to me in our conversations...

    How many apply to you?

    I love my partner, but I just don't want to be touched.

    You used to crave intimacy. Now the thought of sex feels like another item on your endless to-do list. You've started avoiding bedtime, or pretending to be asleep. The guilt is eating you up.

    This is me

    I don't recognise my body anymore.

    The woman in the mirror doesn't match how you feel inside. Perimenopause, motherhood, life - your body has changed, and with it, your confidence has crumbled.

    This is me

    I've never had an orgasm (or it's been years).

    You've faked it for so long, you're not sure you'd know what real pleasure feels like. Maybe you've given up entirely. You wonder if there's something wrong with you.

    This is me

    We've just... stopped.

    Your relationship has become roommates with a joint bank account. The spark died somewhere between the kids, the careers, and the exhaustion.

    This is me

    I don't know what I want anymore.

    You've spent so long putting everyone else first that you've lost touch with your own desires - in bed and in life. When someone asks what YOU want, your mind goes blank.

    This is me

    I'm terrified to talk about this.

    The shame stops you from even admitting there's a problem. Your friends seem to have it figured out. You feel so alone in this.

    This is me

    Speaker & Facilitator

    Bring this energy to your stage

    I speak and facilitate at festivals, retreats, conferences and wellbeing days, bringing colour, confidence and a holistic, science-backed approach to women's embodiment, pleasure and self-possession.

    After 10+ years in the wellbeing industry, I create rooms where women leave braver, lighter and a little bit sparkly.

    Lee-ann Cordingley speaking on stage
    "Lee-ann brought a fantastic energy to our Women's Networking event and quickly created an atmosphere where people felt comfortable sharing their experiences and insights. The session was engaging, thought-provoking and highly interactive... I'd have no hesitation in recommending Lee-ann to other event organisers looking for a speaker who can connect with an audience, inspire confidence and create a genuinely positive impact."

    I'm Lee-ann - your slightly inappropriate fairy godmother

    "I blend science, softness, and sparkle to help women feel strong, sexy, and fully alive."

    I get it. Talking about sex with a stranger sounds mortifying. That's exactly why I do what I do, because you deserve a space where nothing is off-limits, nothing is shameful, and you're never judged.

    Part yoga teacher, part slightly inappropriate fairy godmother, I use science, softness, and sparkle to help you reconnect with your body, your confidence, and your desire.

    I'm also a burlesque performer, so I don't just talk about reclaiming your body - I've done it under stage lights.

    As a mum, a wife, and a woman navigating perimenopause myself, I know how easy it is to put yourself last. My job is to help you find your way back to YOU.
