- How pleasure extends beyond sexuality into everyday life
- The role of nervous system regulation in women's wellness
- Simple daily practices to reclaim sensuality and pleasure
- Why beauty and joy are essential nutrients for wellbeing

Through her work with thousands of women globally, she helps them reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their sensuality, and support women in reconnecting with their bodies and rediscovering a sense of sensuality and pleasure. Dr. Desilets is the author of "Emergence of the Sensual Woman" and offers programs through her platform, Dare Your Desire.
