Sex for Humans is an intimacy and sex coaching business and it is the culmination of everything I have learned and all that I’m so thrilled to share. As humans, we rely on deeply meaningful connections with other humans. We can gain so much from experiencing intimate connections. Intimacy can make us feel fully alive, energized & liberated. Yet, there are often things that stand in our way. Perhaps it’s past trauma, from childhood or infidelity. Perhaps it’s simply that things have gone “stale” in a long term relationship or we’ve gotten so busy with work, kids, elderly parents, or life that we’ve lost sight of how to be fully present with our partner. My sole desire is to help fellow humans rediscover the spontaneity in both themselves and their relationships to create a foundation for intimacy to grow. I believe that all of my clients hold the capacity for intimacy and see my role as helping them discover what’s standing in their way. We will work together to remove barriers and overcome hurdles to help you tap back into the energetic charge that comes with intimacy. While sex and intimacy are often intertwined, each exist independently as well. Most people who have had a one night stand can confirm that few of those sexual encounters were intimate. Likewise, there are many ways to foster intimacy without sex. I focus on revamping intimacy inside and outside of the bedroom. Whether you need help feeling closer to other humans or navigating conversations about sexual desires, I’m here to support you. I am passionate about working with humans seeking or engaging in all types of relationships. I work diligently to provide a judgement free zone and delight in working with people outside of heteronormative and monogamous relationships.
