Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching is a unique synthesis of cutting-edge, body-mind modalities that efficiently and effectively create lasting healing, transformation and empowerment. Drawing from Tantra, Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychotherapy and Attachment Re-Patterning, this holistic approach addresses all levels of your being: emotional, cognitive, energetic, sexual and spiritual.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, the cutting-edge modalities used in Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching access your body’s wisdom and actually rewire your brain towards greater safety, relaxation, connection, and pleasure.
It’s so rewarding to witness the transformations my clients experience as they heal the life-long underlying causes that have unconsciously dictated their intimacy challenges.
My clients often tell me they have been in therapy for years and are amazed at the profound shifts they experience working with me in a relatively short amount of time. They often exclaim that they would have saved years of frustration, time and money had they found me years ago!
Just last week in the second session with a new client couple, Jan declared with tears in her eyes, “I’ve been in therapy my whole adult life, and no one has ever gotten me like you!” Her husband Ben agreed, “You just nailed our relationship dynamics!”
Another client recently wrote to me, “I have been in therapy to heal from these childhood experiences for over 20 years, yet I am feeling shifts working with you that I haven't experienced before.”
After each layer of work, my clients often remark how much lighter they feel, how liberated they feel from the particular issue we’ve been working on, and how much more empowered they feel to create the connection they have been longing for.
I would say the main things that set me apart from other practitioners is...
1. I integrate Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychology, Tantra and Attachment Re-Patterning in my work with individuals and couples. This is a potent combination I haven't seen elsewhere.
2. My work is trauma-informed. My clients tell me that my attunement to them is rare and powerful. Clients often tell me that my compassionate, attuned presence immediately brings them a sense of ease, safety and trust to open up to parts of themselves they hadn’t been able to access or heal in other forms of therapy.
3. My work is mindfulness and somatically based. Our bodies store our unconscious beliefs, emotions and traumas. They also hold profound innate wisdom, and the key to our healing. Through guiding my clients into a state of mindfulness, they can listen to the messages their bodies are telling them… what needs to be released, and what needs to be embraced.
4. Unlike traditional talk therapy, the cutting-edge methods I use release survival programming on the level of the nervous system. Rather than simply treating behavioral symptoms, my clients heal what’s blocking them from more fulfilling intimacy at the root cause. It goes beyond the rational mind to actually rewire the brain and create new neural networks of safety, security and empowerment - so that they can feel more relaxed, at ease, and confident in themselves, and deeply connected and nourished with others.
5. Because of this, my work is incredibly effective. My clients are astonished at how much transformation takes place in a relatively short amount of time working with me - compared to years - sometimes decades - of other therapy.
6. Rather than having a cookie cutter approach, fitting clients into a therapeutic schema,... I work intuitively, meeting each client exactly where they are and bringing to bear the exact tools and processes to support them in their transformation in each moment.
7. I work with both individuals and couples. It’s not uncommon for me to work with a couple on their intimacy together, and with them individually on Attachment Re-Patterning. This is a powerful combination, simultaneously healing attachment trauma that distorts their ability to relate consciously, and developing skills to enhance their emotional and sensual connection.
8. My approach is holistic. I address all levels of my client: cognitive, emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual. I hold my clients as whole, complete and unbroken. Rather than the authority, I view my role as a well-informed, intuitive guide, using my wealth of tools and experience to help them release what’s in the way of discovering their own intrinsic wisdom, wholeness and empowerment.
No. Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching is not for everyone.
Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching is not recommended if you are currently in crisis, are feeling dysregulated or unstable, or if you have untreated cPTSD.
Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching is not a good match for those who have a hard time being present or who can’t easily track sensations in their body or articulate what they are feeling. If you prefer to analyze than to feel, then you may find this approach challenging, as it is an experiential process. Much of the work takes place in a guided state of mindfulness, through which you can access the unconscious mind, thus bringing to consciousness that which was hidden from the rational mind.
Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching is not a good match for those who have untreated ADD, or generally have a hard time with follow through. You are expected to be actively engaged between sessions with your integration action steps. I am committed to your transformation, and require the same of those I work with.
If you are more committed to defending your position than to creating greater understanding and connection with your partner, then Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching is not for you.
You will most benefit from Conscious Intimacy™ Coaching if you:
* Are committed to your growth and transformation
* Have a developed capacity for self-awareness and honest self reflection
* Can articulate your experience without blame (most of the time)
* Are ready to shift limiting patterns, release the past and embody new possibilities
* Are willing to risk being vulnerable and authentic
* Are committed to implementing what you learn to create lasting transformation in your intimate life.

- An increased ability to be present in their body while being intimate
- Greater capacity to receive love and feel nourished
- Newfound levels of trust, safety, and connection
- More playfulness, creativity, pleasure and fulfillment
- Sexier and more desirable
