We’ll start with a free consultation call to feel each other out, answer your questions, and see if we’d be a good fit for your goals. If we both feel good about collaborating, I will send you a booking link and an intake consent form for you to complete before our first session.
Right away from the first session, we begin building the relationship container that we’ll work in, by sharing mutual authenticity in vulnerable feelings and erotic desires. I will bring deep listening and empathy to your shares and questions, identify your growth edge, and share tools that can be of service to you. This could involve actively celebrating your whole erotic and emotional self, meeting and holding you through experiences of shame, disconnection, and pain, teaching you techniques that help access your pleasure or enhancing intimacy with others. We could be talking, roleplaying, touching, communicating boundaries, giving feedback, having repair conversations, cuddling, practising body movements and breathwork, and much more.
I am here both as a safe person providing nurturance to your authentic self and guidance to your growth, as well as a practice partner in crime exploring your erotic expressions and co-creating an intimate therapeutic relationship that can serve as a template for you to expand into the real world.

All practices are done with clothing on, and a minimum of a tank top and pants/leggings is required. We won’t be doing anything that involves genital touch or mouth-to-mouth contact. Any two-way touching exercises that we do will always be over clothing. Mutual consent and boundaries are skills we will work on continuously throughout every session. It’s crucial that you feel empowered, safe, and ready when choosing to do any practice with me together.

Sex therapy relies on talking about your issues around sexuality, it’s educational and focused on deepening your understanding, healing and accepting of your sexuality. Due to the ethical and regulatory limitations of what a therapist can offer, it is physically hands-off and one-way caregiving, and does not allow for erotic energy to be exchanged with the client.
In contrast, when I step into my role as a sex coach, my hands are no longer tied and I can be free to use the pioneering method of Somatica® characterized by experiential and embodied two-way practices. Like a sensual relationship lab, we will explore touch, vulnerable feelings, erotic energies and relational dynamics in service of your learning through potent direct experiences. All exercises are done within professionally defined boundaries.

Unfortunately, it’s not. My coaching practice is separate from my therapy practice. Since the regulation of traditional therapy excludes touch-oriented experiential methods, I cannot bill coaching sessions under counselling services and therefore, your coaching expenses will be out of pocket and won’t be claimable by insurance.

I welcome adults of all genders and sexual orientations, partnered or single, kinky or vanilla, monogamous or non-monogamous, who are looking for practical ways to transform their sexual relationships with themselves or others, and build towards an erotically fulfilling life. I also love working with the cultural diversity brought in by POC folks and cross-cultural couples.

Depending on what works for your location and schedule, I am available both online and in-person in my home office in East Vancouver. I find that some practices are especially impactful to learn in-person, whereas others are equally effective when done virtually. Many clients do a mix and match.

Sessions are 90mins, though longer sessions may be requested. My 90min session rate is $250 for individuals and $295 for couples. A 10-session package is available at a discounted rate of $2400 for individuals and $2850 for couples.
Typically, our session recurs weekly or bi-weekly. Meeting more frequently is significant at the beginning of our coaching to pick up the momentum and consolidate our relationship so that deeper work and practices can take place.
Although a lot of progress could take place in just a few sessions, it’s likely you’d want to take our work further as intimacy takes time to develop and the more rapport we build over time, the juicier long-term results you will obtain with regards to creating changes that lead to an erotically fulfilling life.

In my work with you, I aspire to welcome every aspect of what it means to be a human being and be with each other. You and I alike are equals in creating a therapeutic relationship, one that brings loving awareness to all our human factors on this journey of self-realization. I value sex positivity, connection, growth, human diversities, cultural inclusion, embodied pleasure as an act of self-love, and vulnerability as an act of courage and strength. I go through life and work with my mind open, heart forward, and centred in my body’s lived truth.
