Hi, I'm Dr Claire Macaulay

Medical Doctor, Sex Expert & Festival Creator

I am a medical doctor who treats people with breast cancer and that's the least exciting thing about me! More importantly for you, I am a woman who is passionate about supporting people to create the kind of sex life that is right for them. I bring my own brand of science-based, no bull-shit, real-world sex education for mid-life women with compassion and humour. I create vibrant sex-positive spaces where people feel safe to explore and thrive. 

 

Through my work as a Certified Somatic Sex Educator, women tell me that, although they don't want it to be, they feel that their sex life is over. I want women the world over to know that it doesn't need to be this way, whether you are struggling with vaginal dryness and pain, or loss of libido, there are many ways to deal with these issues and have the sex life you want. 

 

I am a woman navigating her own menopause journey, and even though I'm an expert in this stuff, it took me a while to notice the subtle changes in my body for what they were.  

 

I deliver training to healthcare professionals on matters of sexuality and love nothing more than speaking in public about all things sex. I am certified in Clinical Supervision and offer supervision and support to other professionals. 

 

That's all you need to know about me for now - most importantly - Welcome to The Midlife Sex Festival!
