What is Intimacy Coaching?
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably wondering: So what is Intimacy Coaching anyways?
Intimacy coaching is all about learning how to bring more of yourself into connection. It's a safe, secure relationship where you learn and practice the skills needed to create amazing relationships (which most of us want, but strangely enough were never taught!).
Through relationship and practical exercises with me, you’ll learn a ton about what you like and need to feel fulfilled, shame-free, and most yourself.
Together, through a blend of virtual sessions and in person immersion work (depending on where you live), you'll practice real life skills like: sharing feelings vulnerably, listening with empathy, having repair conversations, meeting and dating, emotional empowerment, sensual and erotic embodiment, boundary and trigger mapping, teaching someone what you need emotionally and desire sexually, and so much more!
How is Intimacy Coaching different than therapy?
Intimacy Coaching is more experiential, with a strong focus on sex and relationships. And the boundaries of the methods are different, in that when you work with me there is more space for mutual vulnerability (two-way relating) -- i.e., you learn through practice (versus talking about it) how to create authentic intimacy. Intimacy Coaching is great on it's own or can be an *amazing* compliment to therapy (in fact, many of my clients are also in therapy).
Here are some of the specific things I can help with:
Developing a deep sense of self-acceptance and self-worth
Healing people pleasing through attunement to your needs, feelings, capacities and boundaries
Empowered dating
Low desire, painful intercourse, or sexual dysfunction
Trauma empowerment
Inner child healing and developing secure attachment
Clearing away shame from culture, family, religion, etc.
Being an amazing lover
