I am passionate about pleasure and helping people thrive. My work as a coach combines modern neurobiology, shamanic healing, and holistic embodiment practices; blended with the ancient wisdom of Tantra, Taoism & sacred sensuality. The work is based in an understanding that all of us are sensual beings with a tremendous capacity for love and connection. Breathwork, pleasure practices, meditation, energy work, sounding, and movement are combined in a transformational process that is rooted in deep self-love and acceptance. This method recognizes and supports that human beings thrive by regularly experiencing states of ecstasy, surrender, conscious connection, and wild freedom.

In addition to coaching, creativity is a central part of my life’s work. I have a deep love for the beauty that surrounds us and the items we engage with every day. The way we adorn ourselves, the vessels we eat from, the materials and furniture in our homes, the way we interact and express who we are on the outside. Creating from a place of intention, inviting a journey of discovery and surrendering to the guidance of our intuition; we can tap into a source greater than ourselves.

I spent my childhood moving between the homegrown community of Eugene, Oregon and the spiritual mountain kingdom of Kathmandu, Nepal. Currently, I live in the awe inspiring beauty of Hood River, Oregon.

I would like to share more of my personal journey…never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the plot twists that have brought me to this moment. Sex coach? I would have laughed at the thought.

Rumblings of change became noticeable a few years before Covid. The dysfunctional patterns that had become the well-worn grooves of my life, a classic recipe for mid-life crisis. I was burning out at work, chronically tired, in addition to doing more than my share of the parenting and housework. My partner and I were living more like roommates, the physical intimacy was infrequent and uninspiring. I was trying so hard, harder than I had ever tried, to make all of it work. I sacrificed myself, on a daily basis, to hold the pieces together of a life that was wearing me down to the bone.

Before I began my VITA coaching certification, I didn’t really understand embodiment. The mind thinks, but the body knows, and holy cow does it know. The journey into my sensations, pleasure and animal self was nothing short of an energetic awakening. A portal to another reality, like going from black and white to color. The up leveling of my sensations was like tuning into a new frequency, at first it was subtle, but as my awareness grew the volume kept getting louder. I was infinitely more aware of the state of my nervous system and my intuition. As a result of this journey, my cup is consistently full because I’ve learned how to fill it up myself. Pleasure is at the top of the list instead of the bottom and I have given myself permission to say yes. This work has changed my life in a profound way, and I am deeply grateful to share what I have learned through my coaching practice. I would love to connect and talk about what thriving looks like for you.
