Frequently Asked Questions
What is “Sensuality Coaching?”
Sensuality Coaching is a specific form of life coaching that’s all about empowering people in their sexual lives!
My goals as a coach are to help you improve your personal confidence and sexual life through education and training. I do not have a cookie cutter approach, so I will ask you a lot of questions in order to customize our time together. These questions can include information on your sexual experience as well as your sensual goals. I am here to offer support and guidance to empower your sensual development.
Sensuality Coaching is not therapy or counseling. I am not trained as a therapist and am not available to diagnose or replace traditional therapy.
How did you get into teaching and coaching about kinky sex?
–Most of my life I have been fascinated by human sexuality and I’ve dedicated myself to learning about all aspects of sex. Once I started exploring my own sexual life, I couldn’t help but share a lot of what I was learning about myself with people close to me. Fortunately I have supportive people in my life who accepted my quirky interests and listened to me go on and on about orgasms, penis sizes, my favorite wooden paddle for maximum impact, etc. Eventually they all started coming to me with the questions they didn’t feel comfortable asking anyone else. These conversations would often start with them saying, “I know you won’t judge me and you probably know all about this…”. It really touched me that I could be a source of knowledge and a refuge for them. I began teaching at events, and eventually, my students, friends, and family all urged me to set up a business being a professional kinky sex coach! I took their advice and have been happily delving into all kinds of excitement ever since.

–Judgement-Free Zone: People have an incredible variety of sexual interests! When you come to me for a professional session, I want you to understand that I am not here to judge you.
