Welcome to my world! I am so happy that you are here. I have been a clinical sexologist for over 4 decades and I founded the profession of sex coaching in 1993. It has been my life’s passion to assist people to find a pathway to their sexual fulfillment, to heal their sexual wounding, and to discover their full sexual potential, with an emphasis on pleasure and enhancement. I use a holistic, non-medicalizing, depathologizing, sexually-affirming approach in all of my work. I love to help my clients by digging deep into the how’s without spending years on probing the why’s. I love my work, my clients, my students and speaking my truth wherever that leads me. Right into your heart, I hope!

Here is how to work with me. There are three different ways: Be coached by me; be trained by me; or at an in-person or virtual event. I am here for them all, with planning and based on my availability. So get prepared to grow, stretch, and, yes, to have fun!
