Sacred Exploration

Private sessions for individuals or couples are available. Each session is based on your needs, and is therefore one-of-a-kind.

The concept is simple. I pay attention to you in ways that help you learn, grow, and become more fully alive.

Specifically, I pay attention in ways that are more physically intimate than your therapist or friends are able to do. I guide and assist you through experiences of breath, movement, attention and touch. Because I am not your lover, I have no need to have your attention back, so the focus remains on you. This is your time.

We start by talking about your interests and what you are seeking. You may already know, or we may talk a bit to help you uncover it. When your intention is clear, we design the experience and guide you through it, maintaining your safety and comfort. I help you keep your heart open and stay aware. Then we talk about what you learned and how you can use it in your life.

Essential to our work is trust and safety. Safety is my job; trust is yours. What we create will be respectful, empowering and compassionate, and will honor your boundaries and our own. I do not have sex with clients.
