Why Every Health Event Needs to Talk About Intimacy
Better Recovery, Better Relationships, Better Quality of Life
Partner With Me To Improve Post-Surgery Intimacy & Relationship Outcomes
My name is Trina Ricketts and I am an Ostomy & Post Surgery Intimacy Coach. I help people rebuild body confidence and restore sensual desire after body-altering surgery through changing their beliefs about their bodies and what constitutes real intimacy and giving them some techniques to navigate their changed bodies.
Through presentations, workshops, and patient education, I provide practical guidance on:
Body image after surgery
Fear of intimacy and rejection
Rebuilding emotional connection
Communicating with partners
Non-penetrative intimacy and adaptive techniques
Dating after surgery
Reclaiming confidence and quality of life
I work as an extension of your team, helping the people you serve:
Rebuild confidence after body-altering surgery
Navigate intimacy, dating, and relationship concerns
Reduce fear around body image, rejection, odor, leaks, and intimacy
Learn practical strategies for physical intimacy, including when penetration isn't possible
Improve communication with partners about surgery and sexual changes
Move from surviving surgery to living a full, connected life
I create a safe, judgment-free space where the people you serve can ask the questions they often never ask their surgeon, nurse, or physician; leaving with practical strategies, renewed hope, and greater confidence for life after surgery.

Next Steps
Schedule a short discovery call.
We'll discuss your audience and goals.
I'll recommend the presentation or partnership that's the best fit.
Together, we'll help the people you serve to move beyond recovery and back to living.
I'd love to learn about your organization and explore whether a partnership would benefit your members or patients. There is no obligation, just a conversation about what's possible.
Every person deserves the opportunity to heal physically, emotionally, and intimately after a body-altering surgery. If your organization shares that vision, I'd love to explore how we can make it a reality together.
