Couple Sessions
Learning Love Sessions
We're born knowing how to love, right? Yes, in fact, I believe we are.
But then life happens, and this perfect knowingness becomes tarnished by disappointments, misunderstandings, and other wounds. And so we begin crafting defenses to protect against the overwhelming pain. Our ability to love freely becomes smaller and smaller, until one day we wonder why we can't seem to create or sustain real intimacy.
In these couples sessions, we explore the issues that are creating disturbances in your relationships – your relationships with others, and most important your relationship to yourself.
We look at how early wounds may be driving your current relationship style and practice discerning when your wounded child is running the show versus your mature adult consciousness. We'll practice staying in the 'learning zone' of emotional discomfort so that your inner space and maturity grows.
The goals of these sessions are learning how to practice self-containment, how to create more consciousness in your relating patterns, how to relax your expectations around sexual encounters, and how to communicate with relationship partners in a way that supports individual freedom while fostering deeper intimacy.
Sometimes couples book a single session to work on a specific issue. Sometimes a longer series is needed to guide couples through a particularly tricky patch or transition in the relationship or to exercise the muscles of healthier communication until both feel solid with their new tools.

Conscious Touch Session
One of my very favorite ways to spend my time (other than talking about sex and relating, which I pretty much do all the time anyway!) is to teach couples how to touch each other.
I have many therapeutic touch modalities under my belt and I draw on all of them, but the purpose of these sessions is to create intimacy rather than working out the kinks in your muscles (although that may be a lovely outcome as well).
I teach couples how to tune into their own bodies to determine what kind of touch they like, how to express their desires and needs in a way that is more likely to be received by their partner, how to touch each other with awareness in ways that are more pleasurable, and how to expand their own subconscious attitudes and limitations on pleasure.
These sessions are juicy, fun, educational, and sustainable - you’ll learn tools and techniques to support your own pleasure and your partner’s so you can continue your pleasure journey together at any time.

Experience Design & Guidance
Looking for a sexy weekend getaway? Or an intensive to work through a particular issue?
I love designing and facilitating immersion sessions for busy couples who understand the need for …
Taking risks is already a challenge for many individuals - when we add the impact taking risks on others (e.g. our partner, or children), the potential for the risks to outweigh the benefits can become so daunting that we begin to limit our experience for the sake of continuity, or ‘better the devil we know.’
But one of the criteria for healthy self-esteem is taking appropriately-sized risks to continue expanding the way we interact with the world. Perhaps the next best thing to ‘knowing’ the outcome (impossible) would be having someone navigate the situation with you who’s been there before, knows the types of challenges that may present, has tools and techniques for processing through them with love and awareness.
And that’s what I do during attendance sessions with couples. I may accompany them to public classes or events, workshops, retreats, or real-world scenarios where they are choosing to test the boundaries of the way they understand their relationship. I support them when the desire for expansion moves them into a space of vulnerability and help them process the new insights they uncover with love and tenderness, and with a view toward enhancing and expanding their relationship ‘container.’

Wouldn’t it be great if every time we tried something new, we KNEW we’d love it?

Title Lorem ipsum
Description // My passion and calling is the human quest for authentic intimacy. But what does that mean? Shouldn't intimacy, by definition, be authentic?
Real intimacy is a shared closeness, a deep understanding of the other, a connectedness. Which does imply being authentic.
But in our modern, hectic lives, "intimacy" is a word that gets tossed around very lightly, most often when we mean sexual proximity to another human being. Often without any depth or connection involved at all.
