You desire a more fulfilling relationship or sex life. Maybe you get stuck in repeating arguments that go nowhere. Or you struggle with loss of passion or experience sexual anxiety. You may wonder how you can ask your partner for better emotional support, appreciation, alone time or good sex. If you're a multicultural individual or expat, or if you're in an intercultural relationship, you may run up against cultural differences. If you're in a non-traditional or open relationship, maybe you find it a challenge to navigate boundaries, different values and relationship styles.
If this sounds like you, I’ve got you. As an individual who straddles several different cultural identities, I’m here to help you navigate the complexities of sexuality, love and intimacy with an understanding that culture forms the backdrop to many of our ideas about sex and relationships. All relationship styles, sexualities and genders are welcome.
Using an effective, holistic mind-body approach, I will help you identify your needs, express what you want clearly and powerfully, build emotional connection, access your sense of pleasure and boost your skills for optimal sexuality. Change is possible. You CAN unlock your erotic potential, design your ideal relationship and celebrate your connection!
