“Will intimacy coaching help me?”
In our society and culture it’s considered a little too taboo to openly discuss sex and intimacy. Although it’s different than sex, intimacy gets lumped in there too. Afterall, the definition of intimacy is something you share with someone that you don’t share with anyone else.
So, yeah, it makes sense we don’t talk about it. As a result many of us are walking around with confusion about why they can’t find a partner or have mind-blowing sex with the partner they have.
But the truth is that most people have experienced something that an intimacy coach could help with. We might feel alone and ashamed, embarrassed about it- it might feel weird to talk about. And that’s exactly why an intimacy coach can help you.
“What’s it like to work with an intimacy coach?”
-
Acknowledging
We’re working towards a moment of discovery where your feelings begin to swirl. In the therapeutic relationship we've built, you’ll start to recognize the emotions behind those feelings. My role is to give you honest feedback in real-time to help build your confidence.
Once we give the emotion a name and look at the habits that get you to that feeling, we’ll begin to see what’s inhibiting your ability to connect and which ones are helping your connections grow. You’ll start noticing your emotions more and more. The experiential practices that we’ve worked on together are creating, building, and growing your “gut feeling”

Fully feel the feeling
As your coach, we practice the Somatic skills that help you feel your feelings. You can’t regulate an emotion that you can’t feel. I understand that this part might take a tremendous amount of vulnerability and I will protect that space for both of us.
This whole time we’ve been building and practicing connection. We’ve practiced the skills that you’ll need to be able to allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you are feeling. You’ll notice the emotions and mindfully have an awareness of your body moving the feeling through you as it completes a full embodiment cycle.

Exude Confidence
Coaching you in the container of intimacy and relationships isn’t about your relationship with others. Every relationship you have has one thing in common - YOU! By combing through the emotional, societal, familial tangles that you hold, we’ll find the innate intelligence that you possess.
This is where all the gooey and beautiful, messy, lovely, strong, and sensitive connections that make the authentic you shine and feel the most confident. Digging in doesn’t mean we replay all the tragedy and hurt. This isn’t therapy, so we look at the context you were born into and we rewrite the stories you’ve believed about yourself.
