I began my pursuit of the healing arts over 25 years ago when I became a licensed massage therapist in 1998, training in Esalen style massage in California and in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi in Maui.

In 2008 I began pursuing my passion for the intuitive healing arts and earned multiple certifications in various energy healing modalities, eventually working extensively with clients facing a multitude of health and life related issues.

In 2014 I completed my master’s degree in professional counseling and opened my private practice, Pathway to Pleasure, originally located in Austin, TX, specializing in sex therapy for couples. (Please note that the somatic sex coaching services you find here at Eros Education or on my profile at Sacred Eros are not licensed mental health services and should not be construed as such.)

After quickly discovering that just talking about sexual problems and intimacy issues in a mental health setting had limited efficacy, and deeply desiring to help my clients get better results, I began to study and train in more experiential and hands on approaches to sexual healing.

As a massage therapist, intuitive healer, and professional counselor, this shift seemed like a natural and powerful union of my seemingly diverse and unrelated set of skills.

In 2016 I met Betty Martin and was introduced to her work on The Wheel of Consent. In 2018 I began an extensive study and practice of this life changing wisdom, which form the foundational principles necessary for accessing pleasure, awakening desire, and increasing mutual intimate fulfillment. In 2019 I stumbled upon the Institute for The Study of Somatic Sex Education (ISSSE) and immediately signed up for one of their trainings. I knew I had come “home” at last.

As an avid spiritual seeker, Tantrika, and practitioner of sacred intimacy informed by the tantric mystery school traditions of Egypt, India and Tibet, I’ve worked deeply with my own sexual energy and sexual healing.

I believe that the sexual energy is at the root of many of the neuroses and psychological issues people struggle with. A healthy relationship with our sexuality including an undistorted flow of our sexual energy is a vital part of our overall health and wellbeing.

My somatic sex education and coaching is focused on helping couples have real time experiences of intimacy, connection, and pleasure by developing skills that allow them to more easily identify and communicate desires, set boundaries, access genuine pleasure and desire while freeing stuck emotional and sexual energy.

Sexual healing is a process of embodiment founded on a commitment to reviving Eros, the creative life force, to its rightful place as an expression of love, peace and healing.

This is a sacred journey, not a destination.
