For the female nervous system, pleasure is not a luxury.

It is a physiological necessity.

Pleasure as Praxis was founded on the intuitive and scientific knowing that pleasure (oxytocin) not only regulates the female nervous system, but is needed for all phases of our cyclical lives!

(menstruation-childbirth-menopause)

Praxis: noun,

pra-xis / 'prak-ses,

a formal word that refers to the practical application of a theory, or to the exercise or custom of a skill or art.

Why center the female nervous system?

Unless they specify female, anything about "nervous system regulation" is code for "male-body"

Its never as simple as "the body"...

Our bleed and reproductive capacity makes us more complex than the male body that is considered the "standard" in science and nervous system spaces.

“Your pelvis is the first part of your body to respond to a threat” — Veronica Rottman, SEP, creator of Soma Skool

Pleasure as praxis: where theory meets practice in support of your female nervous system.

Inspired by the determination to keep our wombs inside our bodies, to enter peri-and-post menopause like the initiation it is, to bleed with the insight of the full arc of our creative potential...

and to know that pleasure is the thread woven between them all.

Hey love, I'm Verónica

I created Pleasure as Praxis because I saw a gap in how women are taught to understand their relationship to pleasure—and to their own nervous system.

I’m a doctoral candidate specializing in the history and philosophy of science of the female nervous system and the female orgasm, and my work is informed by both research and lived experience.

I draw from the growing body of female-led science—researchers who are also midwives, doulas, birth workers, and somatic practitioners—who understand the female pelvis as central to nervous system regulation and healing.

This work is also deeply personal. I have healed my own chronic illness, including muscular dystrophy, POTS, PCOS, and CPTSD. I understand the fear of being told your body is in an “incurable,” state and the overwhelm that can make change feel impossible.

That’s why I believe in soft work, intentional integration and the power of pleasure, oxytocin, the female nervous system's primary regulator.

Everything I offer is rooted in the kind of support I once needed in my darkest times, and it is my great pleasure to now offer it to you.
