Foundations & References
of the MPPV® Method
of the MPPV® Method
The MPPV® 🇨🇭 is rooted in the body — but speaks the language of science, clinical practice, and contemporary thought.
This method is grounded in evidence, clinical fields, and intellectual frameworks that explore menopause, the nervous system, and sensory perception in mature women.
This is not a list of influences.
It’s a living ecosystem of references — explicit and implicit — that validate, inspire, or resonate with the principles of the MPPV®.
Clinical Guidelines & Scientific Basis
The MPPV® is not a medical treatment — but it aligns with clinical research and
recognized standards in hormonal, urogenital, and neurological health.
Key references:
- AUA Guidelines (2025)
- NAMS — North American Menopause Society
Clinical & Scientific Ecosystem Behind the MPPV®
The MPPV® 🇨🇭 evolves in direct dialogue with medicine, neuroscience, and somatic sexology.
It’s supported by professionals, researchers, and schools of thought that investigate
— from different angles — the female body in midlife and beyond.
These are the living foundations of a method that connects physiology, neuroplasticity, and intimacy — where conventional protocols often stop.
Nervous System, Neuroplasticity & Sensory Perception
The MPPV® starts from one premise:
sensation comes before interpretation.
And perception can be retrained — even in midlife.
- Lisa Feldman Barrett — emotions as brain-constructed experiences
- Antonio Damasio — the body as the source of consciousness
- Norman Doidge — neuroplasticity and somatic learning
- Stephen Porges — polyvagal theory and states of safety
- Deb Dana — everyday applications of polyvagal theory
- Stanley Rosenberg — cranial nerves, breath, vagal tone
- Peter Levine — nervous system and physiological regulation (non-trauma based in this context)
Pleasure, Breath & Somatic Learning
Pleasure is a sensory function.
In the MPPV®, it is re-learned — without performance, without pressure.
- Moshe Feldenkrais — minimal movement, learning through pleasure
- Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen — body systems and sensory intelligence
- Joseph Kramer — Sexological Bodywork (direct mentor)
- Matt Schwenteck — Somatic Consent (direct mentor)
- Betty Martin — the Wheel of Consent: giving, receiving, allowing
- Tiago Brumatti — Somatic Sexology (Brazil, ILASS) (direct mentor)
- De’an Matuka — De-armouring and deep muscle sensitivity (direct mentor)
- Mantak Chia — Tao Yoga, sexual energy, internal circulation (direct mentor)
- NTB Breathwork — breath as state-shifting, not catharsis (formal training)
- Transcendental Meditation — effortless access to deep states (formal training)
- Mindfulness — tactile awareness, subtle perception (formal training)
- Yin Yoga — time as a neurological agent (formal training)
Female Sexuality, Menopause & Sensory Health
Sensory collapse is not emotional.
Not just hormonal.
It’s physiological — and slowly being documented.
- Lisa Mosconi — menopause as a brain transition
- Rachel Rubin — evidence-based urogenital health
- Kelly Casperson — libido, testosterone, vaginal estrogen
- Emily Nagoski — responsive desire, context
- Mary Claire Haver — nutrition and midlife metabolism
- Jessica Zamboni · Anna Gueldini · Paloma Laveglia — gynecology (Brazil)
- Victor Hugo · Cela Sarmento · Ju Bicca · Ana Priscila Soggia — endocrinology (Brazil)
Geriatrics, Metabolism & Intimate Longevity
Pleasure doesn’t fade with age — it shifts.
The MPPV® helps you reorganize the sensory map.
- Ana Eduarda — geriatrics and embodied autonomy
- Andresa Lima — midlife women’s health
- Renata Rocha — advanced aesthetics and metabolism
- Ester Mouzinho — clinical nutrition and regulation
- Adriana Pereira — psychiatry, weight, and uncensored desire
Philosophy (Implicit in the Method)
These authors are not always cited — but their thinking is present.
- Maurice Merleau-Ponty — the body as lived experience
- Baruch Spinoza — affect, vitality, and the power of embodiment
Clinical Connections & Centers
The MPPV® connects with professionals in Switzerland, Brazil, Europe, and the U.S.
- CHUV — Maternité de Lausanne
- Drs Sandra Fornage · Rachel Rubin · Marie-Christine Gailloud-Matthieu
- Drs Aude Nessi · Mathieu Uffer · Julien Schwartz — female urology
Evidence Supporting the Somatic Approach
The practices of the MPPV® are consistent with current research in neurobiology, menopause, and embodied health.
- Up to 30% reduction in brain glucose uptake during perimenopause
- Proven effectiveness of local estrogen without systemic effects
- Touch, breath, and sound as tools for autonomic regulation
- Neuroplasticity as a base for responsive pleasure
- Sensory practices reducing chronic stress
- Body-mapping as a tool for intimate self-regulation
- Connections between depression, bones, and perception in menopause
The MPPV® doesn’t replicate these frameworks.
It emerges from the space between them — where the female body has not yet been fully seen.
This is where the concept of sensory collapse is born.
Cristiana Bolli & the Concept of Sensory Collapse
Cristiana Bolli coined the term sensory collapse in menopause — a new language for a reality many women live, but few can name.
Her work crosses somatic neuroplasticity, applied sexology, and sensory perception.
Between hormones and emotion, she works on a third axis:
perception — where medicine usually doesn’t go.
The loss of sensitivity in midlife is not a personal failure.
It’s the nervous system in protective mode.
And that can be reversed.

The body evolves. So does science.
And the MPPV® is alive.
