In my practice, “Taboo Talk,” I create space to discuss Sex and Intimacy concerns with my clients. Each person’s relationship with intimacy is different. In my coaching practice, topics that feel off-limits in daily life aren’t just permitted, but can be explored without shame in our work together.

A fulfilling experience of sex and Intimacy requires a sense of safety. As a Somatica practitioner, I provide a healthy, judgment-free space where my clients share parts of themselves they haven’t been able to express in their daily lives and relationships. I used a “relationship lab” style. In treatment, we collaborate strengthen the mind-body connection and deepen insight to develop and improve intimacy with self and others.

Using dialogue, body-based tools, breath work, visualization and sensation-mapping, we work creatively at your own pace. Together, we can tackle difficult topics, peel back the layers and find effective ways to meet your sex and intimacy goals.
