FAQs

  • Intimacy coaching is a type of coaching which helps you cultivate greater intimacy in your relationships. It can definitely lead to better sex, but there’s so much more to it than that! Intimacy coaching aims to help you overcome shame and feel safe enough to be vulnerable, to show another person your truest, fullest self, and to feel accepted, loved or valued for who you are.

  • No. While coaching can be therapeutic, it is not a replacement for therapy.

    Intimacy coaching with me is an embodied and interpersonal process. I use somatic (body-based) tools, as well as experiential and relational exercises to help you feel safe in your body, and cultivate shared vulnerability, and deeper connection with another person.

  • Intimacy coaching is the right fit for anyone who is curious and open to learn and grow as a person. So much of what we need to know to have amazing sex and relationships is never taught to us. Some of the reasons for seeing an intimacy coach include being in a relationship with conflict and distress, feeling that needs or desires are not being met, or feeling disconnected from a partner.

  • I work with individuals and couples of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. Whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, queer, straight, or exploring—you're welcome here.

  • Anything that feels relevant to your relational or intimate life is welcome. This might include conflict or communication struggles, incompatible needs and desires, boundaries, shame, repair after betrayal or abandonment, dating fears, challenges of long term partnerships, sexual pleasure, low libido and so on…

  • Absolutely. This is an inclusive, affirming space where all identities, orientations, and expressions are honored and respected.

  • Only if you want to. Coaching is guided by your needs. Some clients are looking for greater self-awareness, discovering and understanding their needs, healing work around childhood and other relational wounds, becoming less reactive and feeling safe in their own bodies. Others are ready to explore and expand their sexuality, discover core desires, and play with fantasy and eroticism. There’s no pressure and we go at your own pace.

  • Sessions are 60 minutes long and take place in person (for individuals and couples) or via Zoom (for individuals only). We begin with a discovery call to get to know each other and decide if we're a good fit.

  • That’s completely normal. Intimacy work is vulnerable. This space is designed to be gentle, supportive, and pressure-free. You're in control every step of the way, and you're never expected to share or do anything you're not ready to.
