Sex Over 35: Hormones, Desire, Pleasure & Connection

Longtime residents of the Lower Naugatuck Valley may remember Rena's Ultra Boutique, the Bank Street business opened by Rena Lewis in Seymour in 1971.
Known for lingerie, intimate apparel, wigs and adult novelties, Rena's was also something less visible: a place where people could shop privately, ask questions and feel accepted during a time when conversations about sexuality were far less open than they are today.
More than 50 years later, Rena's granddaughter, <a href="https://milfordmedspa.com/glow-getters/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ashley Fox, LPN</a>, is carrying an unexpected part of her grandmother's legacy forward.
Ashley is now a Certified Sex Therapy Practitioner at Milford Med Spa &amp; Wellness and will be part of <a href="https://milfordmedspa.com/sex-over-35-event-in-milford-ct-ct-sex-week/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sex Over 35: Hormones, Desire, Pleasure &amp; Connection</a>, a free community educational event on Tuesday, September 29 from 6–8 PM in Milford.
Growing up, Ashley saw firsthand how her grandmother Rena made people feel comfortable discussing subjects that were often considered taboo. Rena welcomed customers from many different backgrounds and created an environment centered on privacy, respect and acceptance.
Today, Ashley brings those same values to conversations about sexual wellness, relationships, intimacy and the changes that can happen throughout adulthood.
<h2><a href="https://milfordmedspa.com/sex-over-35-event-in-milford-ct-ct-sex-week/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sex Over 35</a></h2>
Sex Over 35 will bring healthcare professionals, patients and community members together for an open, judgment-free conversation about how hormones, health, relationships and intimacy can change as we age.
Topics will include:
<ul><li>How hormones can influence sexual health, desire, energy and well-being</li><li>Perimenopause, menopause and the changes that can come with them</li><li>Men's hormone health and changes that can occur with age</li><li>Why desire can change and why it doesn't look the same for everyone</li><li>The connection between physical health, medications, stress and sexual wellness</li><li>Intimacy and communication as individuals and relationships evolve</li><li>When changes may warrant a conversation with a healthcare provider</li><li>How pleasure, confidence and connection can continue to evolve throughout adulthood</li></ul>

Notre Dame Discovery Days Student Visit Program - Engineering & STEM: A Day for Future Innovators

Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>Register here: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ</a>
