Have more pleasurable sex. Deepen your relationship. Embrace your authentic self.
Holistic and trauma-informed Sex & Couples Therapy for soulful people
Transform your sex life with 3 simple practices:
If you have ever wanted to embrace your full authentic self, craved more passionate, pleasurable sex, or desired a deeper emotional and erotic connection with your partner, you are in the right place.
When we struggle with sex, it can feel incredibly isolating. We have been taught that we can’t talk about sex, that fantasies and exploration are shameful, that sex “should” look a certain way, and that sexual enjoyment and fulfillment just comes naturally and there is something wrong with us if we are struggling.
It is time to change that narrative. It is time for liberation and deep, embodied pleasure. You may have tried to work on your sexual concerns by yourself, or pushed them away, or just felt stuck in a constant cycle of disconnect from yourself and your partner.
There is another way. Holistic sex therapy goes beyond just having better sex. It is rooted in the belief that sex can be meaningful, joyful, transformative, and healing — and that you deserve to experience full body pleasure, embrace fun and playfulness, and have a flourishing relationship.
This unique holistic approach combines somatic practices, mindfulness skills, archetypal exploration, attachment based couples therapy, educational content, and trauma-informed practices all designed to support your goals, empower you, and help you experience deep healing.
This approach may be right for you if:
You and your partner want help around sexual exploration, talking about fantasies, and building desire
You and your partner want to feel a deeper erotic and emotional connection
You and your partner need support navigating sexual trauma, infertility, erectile difficulties, chronic illness, or pain that is impacting your sexual and emotional connection
Sex has been disappointing or frustrating
You struggle with getting an erection, low desire, arousal, or sexual pain
You get in your head when you have sex
You have experienced trauma and feel disconnected from your body and your sexual self
You know that sex can be so much more than it has been for you or you and your partner
You are tired of feeling shame and self-judgment and want to embrace your body and your sensuality
You want to have a healthier relationship with food, yourself, and your body
You want to feel more empowered, confident, authentic, and free in all aspects of your life
