Welcome!
Hi, I’m Elisabeth Bolaza, and I’m a mama-wifey dynamo, researcher, and writer, raising my babies while earning a Ph.D. Currently, my dissertation work titled The Birth Pleasure Study is underway. It’s the first-ever mixed-methods study of pleasure in birth. I’m also the founder of SexyMama.co (coming soon), my new blog where I’m helping everyday mamas live sexier and healthier, so mamahood can feel good.
