Pleasure Sage
Erotic Healing:
Sacred Intimacy, Kink Coaching, & Surrogate Partner Therapy
We're often taught that pleasure, joy, and satisfaction are what's left after we “deal” with all of our stressors and "fix" all of the "shortcomings" of our bodies. After we pay the bills, lose the weight, wash the dishes, get just the right haircut, put the kids to bed… then we’ll finally be able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
But in practice, we may find that these "perfect" moments are few and far between - the to-do list continues to grow, tragic news stories continue to flood our phones, one work deadline merges into the next. And in those few and far between moments when we think we Mostly Have It All Figured Out, pleasure can be frustratingly hard to access. Our minds don't stop running. Our bodies don't do the things we want and expect them to do.
You may even start to think… Is there something wrong with me? Is it because I'm not good enough? Was I expecting too much? Is this really all there is? Maybe if I just go out and achieve some more, then I'll be worthy and deserving?
But what if you already have everything you need to connect to your deepest erotic self, just as you are now? What if sitting with pleasure, or even attempting to sit with the possibility of pleasure, was enough to neurologically rewire you to feel more of it more often? What if you could wake up every day with a deep sense of gratitude, comfort, and home in your own body?
Let’s make it happen!
My Approach
My practice sits at the intersection of trauma therapy, bodywork, and human sexuality. I specialize in working with clients who have limited sexual experience, are survivors of childhood trauma, identify as neurodivergent, struggle with body image and chronic shame, and/or are looking to explore expansiveness in their gender and/or sexuality.
I prioritize creating a welcoming non-judgmental container for you to express your desires, safely explore the edges of your comfort zone, and sit with vulnerable emotions. My approach is acceptance-based, consent-forward, trauma-informed, queer-affirming, kink-friendly, justice-oriented, and client-centered. I welcome clients of all ages (18+), genders, orientations, ethnicities, body sizes, and physical abilities.
I incorporate a wide array of modalities into our sessions depending on your goals. Our time together may involve therapeutic somatic exercises, mindfulness-based breathwork, exploring thoughts and feelings, affectionate touch, and sexual connection. In addition to formal training, my practice is informed by my personal study of tantra, kink, yoga, somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), contact improvisation, and ecstatic dance.
My focus on working with a small number of repeat clients allows me to understand your unique needs and tailor my approach accordingly, tackling specific sexual, emotional, and/or relational challenges you may be experiencing.
