The Maven of Sexual Satisfaction
I completed my B.A. in Government at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. I am certified through the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality as a Sexological Bodyworker and maintain membership in the Association of Certified Sexological Bodyworkers (ACSB). I also hold a certification as a Somatic Sex Educator through the New School of Erotic Touch and a certification in the Transformational Coaching Method through the Holistic MBA. My teachers have included Joseph Kramer, Ellen Heed, Celeste and Danielle, Caffyn Jesse, Stacey Morgenstern and Carey Peters, among many others.
My work as The Maven of Sexual Satisfaction lives in the realm of a sacred duty. Coming to this duty as both a guide and a witness, I show individuals how to trust their bodies' wisdom, break free from shame and shut-down, and live fully empowered in their own skin. I approach the mysteries of sexuality and spirit with wonder, as an opportunity to shed the stories of what "should be" or what is "supposed to be" and experience, with enchantment and curiosity, what "is so now" and what wants "to become".
I have two primary motivations in this work: (1) to stretch into the limitless possibilities of pleasure in the human body, and (2) to eradicate internalized shame as a result of living in a culture that represses sexuality and degrades people for their erotic choices and desires. Needing to let go of damaging cultural narratives, I began exploring personal growth work and communal learning environments where I discovered the powerful nature of my erotic energy as a force in its own right, as a meditative tool to cultivate my own confident center, and as a fuel to feed my passions in this life.
I interact with sexual expression as a fundamental component of the human enterprise. I have experienced a transformation in my own life through the practice of intentional embodied erotic curiosity. I am now much more clear with my communications, able and willing to step into a deeper trust and vulnerability with the people in my life, and set boundaries with love and compassion at the same time as I feel freer in my sexual expression, happier in my life choices, and living a life with more impact and deeper love.
