Are you ready for more pleasure in your life? Do you wish you were more into sex, or wonder whether amazing sex and relationships are possible for you? Do you want to feel empowered, whole and at home in your body? In my somatic coaching practice, we can discover what turns you on, what hits the brakes, and what else (shame, fear, fantasies, upbringing) shapes your romantic and sexual life. We can identify your boundaries and how to deeply connect to yourself, your partners and the moment. I work with women and gender diverse people. Let me celebrate who you are and be there to guide you towards whatever intimate life you want.
I’m a Certified Sexuality, Intimacy and Relationship Coach and Sexologist with 20+ years in social services and a passion for coaching others to live their best lives. I offer unique and effective intimacy coaching, aimed at achieving results. I offer a free intro session, after which we'll decide on whether it’s a good fit and make a plan of action.
Love and intimacy can be deep, beautiful, funny, ecstatic, heartbreaking, healing, transformative and spicy, but they make us feel fully alive. And it's helpful having someone empathetic to talk to and somewhere to practice relevant skills. Discover what’s possible for you with experiential intimacy coaching by emailing to schedule a first session!

Intimacy Coaching is rare in Canada. Unlike traditional sex therapy, I practice the Somatica Method (r) which is experiential in nature. This means you and I will create a clothes-on, safer, professional "lab" space where you can talk openly about your goals and desires, addressing any emotional and sexual concerns, and then practice the tools you need to feel confident in intimate relationships.
