Sometimes our own body or the body of our partner is a confusing mystery. Many of us were not taught beyond the fundamentals of sex and relationships. For some, intimate understanding and
sexual nuance wasn’t passed down. Most of us are sent into this complicated world with no idea what we’re doing sexually. Sometimes, we figure it out, but sometimes, we do not.
Is your sexuality rife with confusion, anxiety, miscommunication, dissatisfaction or shame? Do you experience pain during sex or find it difficult to connect with your partner during intimacy?
It is my role to help people get back to a place where they can have the sex they want, negotiate difficult conversations and situations, learn how to ask the difficult questions and get the compassionate help they need. I create a safe, non-judgemental environment where you will explore your intimate self and get comfortable with all that shapes your needs and desires.
Being intimate doesn’t have to be difficult. Everyone deserves a good relationship with their partner, their sexuality and their own body.
