Welcome
to For Her Benefit
Our mission is to empower women to cultivate a positive genital sense of self through sexual healing art, education and empowering practices. We believe that embracing and understanding our genital sense of self is essential to overall well-being and sexual empowerment. By offering an accessible and inclusive artistic modality and educational programs, we aim to guide women on a transformative journey towards healing, self-discovery, self-acceptance and overall confidence. Through our holistic approach, we create a safe, inclusive and supportive space where women can explore and celebrate their body, deepen their connection with themselves, and foster a healthy and positive relationship with their genital sense of self. Our goal is to break down barriers, challenge societal norms, and inspire women to embrace their sexual identities with confidence, authenticity, and joy.
Our vision is to contribute to a world where individuals embrace their genital sense of self and celebrate their bodies as a whole through the transformative power of sexual healing arts. We envision a future where every person feels empowered, educated, and liberated to express their unique beauty and sexuality without shame or stigma. By fostering a culture of acceptance, self-love, and holistic wellness, we aim to inspire profound personal growth and a deeper connection to oneself. Our ultimate goal is to make a profound impact where artistic expression and education cultivate a more inclusive, compassionate, and empowered society.
What is Genital Sense of Self?
Genital Sense of Self refers to an individual's understanding and perception of their genitalia as a core component of their overall identity and self-concept. It encompasses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of how one views, experiences, and relates to their own genitalia. This sense of self is deeply influenced by personal experiences, cultural attitudes, societal norms, and individual beliefs about sexuality and body image. A healthy genital sense of self contributes to positive body image, self-esteem, and sexual well-being, fostering a more integrated and accepting view of one's own body. It plays a crucial role in intimate relationships, sexual health, and overall mental health, underscoring the importance of education, open dialogue, and holistic approaches to sexual healing and empowerment.
When we talk about a woman’s “genital sense of self,” it goes well beyond the external anatomy. It encompasses how she relates to her sexuality and her entire reproductive system—her uterus, cervix, ovaries, and all the complex hormonal and emotional processes intertwined with those organs. Feeling at home in one’s body and sexuality sets the groundwork for being more open and comfortable discussing issues related to her body. A positive genital sense of self fosters body literacy, which helps women better recognize shifts in their cycles, changes that come with menopause, and the physical or emotional effects of life transitions. When we host community events such as The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause or a Divorce Dinner Party fundraiser, we’re addressing different points along a spectrum of female experiences, yet they’re all underpinned by a woman’s relationship to her body. Moreover, cultivating a strong sense of genital self reinforces bodily autonomy and self-worth. Essentially, when a woman understands, respects, and trusts her reproductive system as an integral part of her identity, she’s more likely to seek and receive the support she needs, whether that’s for her health, her legal rights, or her emotional well-being.
A transformative journey of self-discovery through our empowering workshop, grounded in three pillars: Sexual Anatomy Education, Sexual Healing Art, and Ceremony. In a supportive space, women learn about their own anatomy in a way that normalizes, celebrates and sheds shame. Through sacred ritual, artistic expression, intention setting, journaling, and a yoni meditation, women release shame, reclaim their sensual self, and see themselves as the living, ever-evolving work of art they truly are.
Yoni Print Session
Women embark on a creative and transformative journey with our Yoni Print Session—a unique experience inviting them to discover the inherent beauty, power, and artistry of their body. Guided by gentle support and a spirit of celebration, their Yoni creates one-of-a-kind prints, allowing women to witness and honor every curve and nuance in a safe, nurturing space. Women who have participated in this session share how profoundly it fosters self-expression, boosts confidence, and deepens body awareness, all while releasing layers of shame and disconnection. By capturing her yoni through a this artistic process, she reclaims a renewed sense of self, stepping into a more radiant understanding of her feminine essence and the vibrant story only she can tell.
