If you have a vagina, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. 


In this episode of She Starts Now, I sat down with Maria Wu. During this conversation, we are going to get real and intimate about all parts of ourselves as women and how we can learn to relieve some of the shame and learn to love all of our flowery bits. 


Maria Wu is a mother of three, sister of many, entrepreneur by trade, and philanthropist at heart. She is the Founder and CEO of Maud Medical Clinic, a vaginal health clinic in Bridgeland Calgary, aimed to advocate for access to equitable healthcare for Women.


Topics covered in this episode include: 

  • Maria’s She Start Now moment and how Deepak Chopra inspired an entire vagina business (thanks Deepak!)
  • How Maria manifested everything she needed to open a medical vaginal health clinic - despite not having a post-secondary education (this girl’s got grit!)
  • Vagina? Vulva? What most women (and men) don’t know 
  • How your vaginal and mental health are connected
  • An empowering exercise to get to know yourself “down there”
  • 11,800 kegels in 30 minutes? Yes, it’s possible! 


Maria's story is going to inspire you beyond belief, so make sure to tune in!
