MEET A FORCE OF NATURE
Pamela Madsen is a fearless advocate for women’s health and integrated sexuality. During her 25-year career, Pamela has leveraged her raw honesty and well-informed wit to help strip the stigma first from infertility, then female desire, pleasure, & body image. Her willingness to use her personal struggles to discover her innate sexuality combined with an unparalleled knowledge base garnered through experience and education, has made Pamela one of the most accessible and relatable figures in the vanguard of women’s erotic wellness.
Pamela, a veteran advocate, activist, and educator (yes, she’s been on Oprah!) has taken her no-holds-barred pioneering work in infertility to a new arena: genuine sexual liberation and self-acceptance for all women. Pamela’s full-bodied mix of intelligence, humor, and startling vulnerability has made her one of the most mediagenic advocates for integrated sexuality and a taboo-buster around body image.
Pamela’s trademark openness and humor blew the lid off one of the worst kept secrets in this country: the power of the erotic core buried inside every woman to transform her life. Pamela has found the secret sauce and she is willing to share the recipe.
She’s a featured blogger on Psychology Today and The Huffington Post whose entries are regularly picked up by major media outlets--from Jezebel and New York Magazine to The New York Times. And on January 18, 2011, Pamela’s first book, “Shameless: How I Ditched the Diet, Got Naked and Found True Pleasure and Somehow Got Home In Time To Cook Dinner” hit the shelves.
Months before the memoir’s release, the buzz was spectacular. Notables such as Dr. Christiane Northrup called Pamela “a living, breathing embodiment of the power of pleasure to transform one’s life.” And Pamela did it without losing one inch from her curvaceous Size 14 frame.
Pamela’s mission is to launch other women on their own journey to self-love. Pulling the essential lessons from her own hysterically funny path, Pamela is teaching women how to harness sensual pleasure to effect change from the inside out. Pamela discovered that integrated sexuality and touch could break through the walls of shame that keep us tamped down and locked up, that inhibit us from going after what we want, and from living full-throttle and pedal to the metal. It is possible to heal dysfunctional relationships with food, sex, and fashion, and let ourselves be seen for the wonders that we are. We are entitled to be as big as we feel in all spheres of our life. There’s room on the field for all of us.
The Visionary behind the hugely successful "Back to The Body: Sensuous Retreats For Women", which recently celebrated 10 years of supporting women and a 98% return rate; Pamela is on a mission to reach even more women. With a growing international clientele who have heard her rallying cry that it's time to stop spending a lifetime sublimating their sexuality, often with dire consequences to their physical, emotional and relationship well-being - Pamela offers private and group retreats to every day mothers, daughters, wives, and girlfriends — inspiring them to find their own paths to becoming women in full.

Testimonials, Praise, & love notes
“Up until very recently, hands-on sexual healing has been cloaked in secrecy, shame, and misunderstanding. But a bold new group of courageous pioneers such as Pamela Madsen is leading the way toward a deeper, richer understanding of women’s sexual pleasure as a force for health and healing that positively affects all areas of their lives. The new feminism includes embracing our erotic power, and hands on sexual healing in the right setting can be a very effective way to accomplish this.”
