What is Intimacy Coaching?

Intimacy coaching is a guided process of learning the knowledge and skills needed to be in our bodies, give and receive pleasure, and deepen intimacy. For many people, a major interest and focus of intimacy coaching is sex, yet there’s so much more to intimacy than sex! Though sex and sexual pleasure may be at the top of many people’s curiosity lists, here are some other fundamental aspects, skills, interests, and issues that I as an intimacy coach can help with:

  • Building self-confidence and self-knowledge
  • Cultivating safety within our bodies (nervous system regulation and more)
  • Opening up to, naming, and expressing our desires
  • Understanding our bodies and how we experience intimacy, pleasure, and relational connection
  • Deepening self-pleasure
  • Deepening pleasure and intimacy within relationships
  • Cultivating fulfilling relational connections (sexual relationships, intimate partnerships, friendships, and more)
  • Improving relational communication

For those who want to go deeper within the realm of erotic empowerment and healing, there’s also:

  • Exploring kinks and fetishes
  • Learning consent and communication models for erotic play
  • Exploring relationship structures and modalities (monogamy, nonmonogamy, dating yourself, and more)
  • Deepening embodiment and somatic healing
  • Addressing sexual trauma and energetic wounds
  • Practicing expanded and expansive orgasms
  • Exploring sacred sex and spiritual aspects of sexuality (through your own spiritual practices, neo-tantra, Kundalini, sex magic, and more)
