We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. But, once recognized, those which do not enhance our future lose their power and can be altered. The fear of our desires keeps them suspect and indiscriminately powerful, for to suppress any truth is to give it strength beyond endurance. The fear that we cannot grow beyond whatever distortions we may find within ourselves keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, externally defined, and leads us to accept many facets of our oppression. Audre Lorde
Notes About Sessions
No one’s path to emotional, sensual or sexual health is the same.
In my sessions, there is nothing in particular you have to be ready for. We are moving from where you are AT, through to the next step that feels right, ready & joyous.
I have package offerings below that frame types of work we can do together and it is also possible to simply book a window of time to address anything you would like support with or to explore.
What To Expect
Sessions are 2-4 hours in length. My rate is 130$ per hr / $160 for couples
Pelvic Sessions are done on a mattress on the floor
Location: Vancouver, BC
Important to note: I am Differently Abled, Sex Work, LGBTQ, Poly, Kink friendly and trauma informed. This includes working with the impacts of systemic racism, colonization and patriarchy on the body. We go at your pace, in complete celebration of your identities, building safety and excitement in equal measure.
These sessions do NOT have to bring in sexual energy so if that is a concern and stressful, please don’t worry! This can be very much like standard body-based therapy and have a profound impact with or without any touch AND with or without erotic touch.
These sessions may provoke or create desire for sexual energy or touch so for those who need that for their process, it’s completely welcome & celebrated with the work we do. There are no “shoulds” or “have to’s” in this space. Everything is built around what is a full and enthusiastic “YES” for you.
Let our time together be a gift to yourself.
Margins
Together, we are working with your sexuality and what I do is primarily one way touch from me to you and I will be clothed.
I am invested in working with folks who have a therapeutic call for exploring their sexualities. Thanks for honouring this.
MODALITIES
Beaudoin Method
The Beaudoin Method is a system of Internal Pelvic Work developed by Martin Beaudoin drawing from Ayurvedic gynecology; osteopathy, craniosacral & myofasical massage addressing a range of structural, sexual, hormonal and trauma issues.
Sessions are two to four hours long.
Goals vary from pain reduction for long standing genital issues, incontinence & scar work, all the way to breaking through pleasure ceilings to higher states of pleasure & reconciling trauma.
Transpersonal Psychology
All of my work can have a spiritual approach if desired as I work dimensionally.
Targeting underlying beliefs, personal narratives and existential interpretations of life experiences allows the lens with which we view life to go from happening-to-us to something we make happen. It broadens our ability to choose how to engage and stay relaxed under challenging circumstances, becoming rooted with our deeper intentions and identity.
I work primarily from a Course in Miracles perspective, yet am adaptable to overlapping values in any tradition and could work easily there.
Sexological Bodywork &
Somatic Sex Education
A somatic form of sexual therapy including but not limited to genital and anal touch, body massage and coaching.
This modality addresses all kinds of intimate and sexual challenges through body based practices & nervous system regulation, it can both clarify your own needs, boundaries & voice as well as help with embodiment, understanding ones erotic identity, and pleasure expansion.
Conscious Connected Breathwork
Conscious Connected Breathwork is one technique out of many that serves to help a person access psycho-emotional content beneath the surface that may be inhibiting someone’s access to their full and happiest self.
By identifying breath and muscular patterns, the system is supported to change any maladaptive ways of being, promoting new connection and responses to old stimuli & resolving literal and figurative pain a person may be holding.
Wonderful for detoxification, accessing altered states & for deeper embodiment.
