Hey beautiful, I'm Emily Vann – aka Sissy

Sexual Health Coaching For Women

Empowering women to love, protect, and advocate for their sexual well-being after an STI diagnosis

You've come home after a new diagnosis: a sexually transmitted infection, Herpes.

You're devastated and worry no one will ever love you again.

It's not true!

Society has conditioned you to believe the lie of the “stigma”, that you are now dirty and unworthy.

The Truth: The infection does not change who you are. You are the same beautiful, amazing woman you were before the diagnosis and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Now let's tap into your inner resilience and reclaim your POWER and sense of WORTH.

You’ve come to the right place.

I coach and educate women with herpes and other STIs who struggle with self-confidence, shame, and embarrassment around their diagnosis.

 

I walk women just like you through their diagnosis, treatment options, and help them feel confident having open conversations about their STI. It’s time for you to live a life just as full and beautiful as anyone else’s.


It’s way past time to normalize sexual health conversations and eliminate the shame that women with herpes and other sexually transmitted infections experience.

Between my medical and coaching background, I have all the tools and skills to support you through this distressing time.

But most importantly, through my sexual health coaching for women, I’ve helped women overcome and remember they are QUEENS worthy of love and respect​ 

 

Overcome the shame.

Overcome the embarrassment.

Overcome the fear of disclosing.

This is my mission in life.

 

It's not easy to go through this alone. It leaves you feeling isolated and overwhelmed in your pain.

I’m here for you.

Living with genital herpes as a woman no longer needs to be shameful. I understand how challenging it can be, but you're not alone.

I'm here for you every step of the way.

 

I've contracted HSV and understand how it feels to think you'll never be loved again. I also know what it's like to overcome that stigma.

I'm dedicated to fostering a world where there is greater awareness and support for the sexual health for women of all ages, while working to break down the stigma and promote confidence.

In sessions with me, I empower you to:

  • Gain a deep understanding of your diagnosis.

  • Break free from the stigma and its impact on women's health.

  • Educate your partners about the importance of protecting your temple.

  • Cultivate mental resilience and strength to conquer any future challenges.

  • Clarify common misconceptions with accurate and empowering information.

Opening up and disclosing something as sensitive as herpes to a stranger might seem like the last thing you want to do.

I am absolutely confident that you will feel completely at ease and comfortable working with me, as if we've been sisterfriends for years. All of my clients and patients experience the same profound sense of safety that you need right now.

Build your overall self-esteem and sense of worth

Prepare for difficult conversations

Navigate intimacy in your relationships

“Ms. Emily is kind, unbiased, honest and nurturing. She tells it to you straight and takes care of you at the same time.

She is punctual, organized, and as supportive as they come. She has supported me through tough times and helped me see the situation for what it is and admit to myself that the changes in me were necessary and came from a place of complete GROWTH. All love and so much wisdom! This is where it is at.”

Desirae C., Anaheim, CA

The world has tried to knock me down, time and time again.

I’ve experienced sexual assault, gun violence, am a divorced single mother after 21 years, and am living with HSV.

I’m stronger now than ever. If I can overcome, so can you! 

 

I am incredibly proud to have raised a daughter who conquered depression and cutting at the age of 15. She is now a resilient, beautiful, gay black woman and a successful entrepreneur at 21.

 

Family is at the heart of everything I do.

My faith in God gives me the strength and courage to face any challenge that comes my way.


As your big sis, I’m here to support anyone who wants support.

 

I am here to listen and remind you that you are valued and deserving of love.

My journey and passion for sexual wellness for women began in 2020.

 

During the difficult times of COVID-19, I saw many people grappling with loneliness. It pained me to see them struggle.

 

I knew being there to talk them through their struggles and provide support could change their lives.

 

From there, StraightTalk with Sissy was born and has evolved into what you see today.

 

My ultimate goal is to move to Panama, travel, and enjoy life while supporting women worldwide.

 

StraightTalk with Sissy is changing the world, one woman at a time.
