About Me

My approach to sex & relationship coaching draws on decades of experience in alternative sexuality communities, training in mindfulness, somatic and athletic practices, and a deep understanding of how cultural conditioning shapes our relationship to pleasure. As a Harvard-trained PhD anthropologist, I learned to see how social structures impact our most personal experiences. As a student of the Somatica method, I help you recognize and transcend those limitations.

My fascination has always been with humans – how we experience the world, create meaning, and navigate our desires within complex social frameworks. This curiosity drove my work as an ethnographer, where I studied how communities make sense of their experience of illness. And it fuels my work now, as an intimacy coach, helping people make sense of their experience of desire. As a mindfulness and MBSR practitioner, I believe in the power of radical presence as a tool to enable others' exploration and growth without judgment.

I'm drawn to transformation practices grounded in the body – from my certification as a Henselmans Personal Trainer to my immersion in somatic coaching methods – because I've witnessed how embodied experiences create lasting change in ways that intellectual understanding alone cannot. This integration of mind and body informs all of my work.

I bring a sex-positive, kink-aware, and non-judgmental perspective to this work. Having navigated my own journey through loss, depression, and sexual awakening, I understand both the challenges and possibilities of transformation. I've learned that healing happens not just through insight, but through experience - and I'm here to guide you through that process with wisdom, humor, and radical acceptance.
