Women’s Herpes Support Group
Presence. Support. Shared Strength.
Living with herpes can shake your sense of identity as we already know, but especially when you’re already carrying the weight of societal expectations tied to being a woman. This group exists to offer steady, grounded support from someone who understands the emotional terrain of stigma and offers a presence-led, yoga-informed space to be witnessed and supported.
Led by me, Courtney Brame, founder of SPFPP, this twice-monthly group offers a space for women to reflect, release, and reconnect with themselves THROUGH their diagnosis beyond that and with each other. While I’m a man, about 99% of people I’ve supported since 2017 have been women navigating the emotions that often follow a herpes diagnosis. Now, this group offers you consistent, community-based support tailored to your needs.
What to Expect
A space to speak openly about the emotional experience of living with herpes
A yoga-informed structure grounded in mutual respect, presence, and self-inquiry
Support from other women who understand what it’s like to live through this
Space to process disclosure, dating, identity, and whatever else comes up
Real conversations with accountability, but without judgment
This is not therapy. It’s an intentional space to be seen, heard, and supported as you navigate herpes and reclaim your sense of identity in the process.

Why This Group Exists
Most of the people who’ve shown up to SPFPP support spaces have been women. Now that a dedicated men’s group exists, it only makes sense to hold intentional space for women as well. This group is about honoring what you’ve already made it through and giving yourself the support you deserve to be witnessed and held in community alongside people who understand.
How to Join
Schedule a 1-on-1 Support Call with Courtney.
After the call, you’ll receive access to the group Zoom link and future reminders.

I don’t believe in “safe” spaces. I believe in intentional ones. This group is an intentional space for healing, built on presence and mutual respect.
