Sex, Intimacy & Relationship Coaching ​for Individuals, Couples & Groups


​​Awakening All Parts of You for a More Passionate, Meaningful & Embodied Life

​A sex coach is a trained professional who helps individuals and couples with sexual, intimacy and relationship issues.  Sex Coaching is the combination of sexology and applied coaching.  Sexology (the "what") is the study of what people do sexually, as well as how they think and feel about it.  Applied coaching (the "how") focuses on helping clients reach specific goals they set for themselves, identifying potential approaches, creating a coaching plan, and offering support, suggestions and homework to unlock one's own potential.

Why Work with a Sex Coach?

Clients seek out a sex coach because they want to change something about their sexual and/or intimate life with a partner(s) or themselves.  They want greater confidence, pleasure & fulfillment.  Additionally, some clients want to better understand and address various sexual concerns such as:
  • Orgasm difficulties
  • Body image issues​
  • Low desire
  • Sexual dissatisfaction
  • Uneven desire in a couple
  • Communication conflicts
  • Sexless relationships
  • ​Sex after childbirth
  • Desire to explore alternative sexualities
  • Concerns about sexual orientation/attraction​​

What Sex Coaching Is and Is Not:  

Sex Coaching Is:
  • Holistic
  • Person-centered
  • Sex-positive
  • Goal-oriented
  • Dynamic
  • Collaborative
  • Non-hierarchical
  • Empowering
  • Present & Future Focused

Sex Coaching Is Not: 
  • sex therapy or psychotherapy
  • pathologizing or focused on "dysfunction"
  • ​deep emotional processing or focusing on the past
  • an erotic service or erotic entertainment

What All Is Involved?

Creating a Safe Space in which you can talk about your sexual and intimate desires, fantasies, concerns, insecurities, experiences - all without shame!

Psychosexual & Somatic Education - personalized to help you better understand your body's responses, increase your awareness of sexual and relational patterns, and move through roadblocks to experience greater vitality, connection, pleasure and fulfillment.

Mental Reframing to dispel myths and shift unhelpful thoughts or beliefs that no longer serve you.  This makes space for a new mindset, attitude and approach to reaching your full potential for embodied sexuality and sexual expression.

Healing Pathways to combat shame, fear or guilt that block you from experiencing yourself more fully, wholly as a sexual being.

Behavioral Shifts through co-active coaching to help you acquire new skills and strategies, access your inner wisdom, feel empowered in your choices and make the changes you desire.
