Why these rates?
These rates reflect the actual depth of my work. Each 90-minute session with you involves significant preparation, integration work, and holding space for your process between our sessions.
I work with only a few clients at a time, which means you get my full attention, flexibility in scheduling, and responsiveness to what’s emerging in your journey. This isn’t high-volume coachingโit’s sustained partnership in deep transformation.
I also believe in transparency about cost. My rates allow me to do this work sustainably while maintaining the quality and presence it requires.
What will we actually work on?
Depending on what you’re bringing, we might focus on:
- Understanding patterns โ Why you keep ending up in the same relational dynamics, whatโs driving your fear of intimacy, how trauma shows up in your body
- Troubleshooting sexual difficulties โ Making sense of sexual challenges including erectile difficulties, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, staying present during sex, and the role of sexual shame
- Building skills โ Communication, boundaries, asking for what you need, and building conflict resolution skills
- Expanding identity โ Exploring your gender, sexuality, desires beyond what you learned youโre โsupposedโ to be
- Healing harm โ Processing what was done to you, understanding the harm you may have caused, breaking generational cycles
- Navigating alternatives โ How to actually practice non-monogamy, kink, or other relationship structures (not just theory)
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you the frameworks and practices to build intimacy that actually feels alive.
What happens in the exploratory session?
We talk. I’ll ask you about what brought you here, what you’re working on, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping for. You’ll get a sense of how I work and whether my approach resonates with you.
By the end, we’ll both know if this makes sense. If it does, we’ll talk about next steps. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you and offer other directions to explore.
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
You won’t know for sure until we talk. Book the intro call or exploratory session and we’ll find out together.
Generally, we’re a good fit if:
- You’re ready to do real work (not just talk about doing work)
- You can handle directness and honesty
- You’re willing to feel uncomfortable sometimes
- You want both intellectual frameworks and embodied practice
We’re probably not a good fit if:
- You’re looking for someone to tell you you’re fine as you are
- You want quick fixes or surface-level advice
- You’re not ready to look at your own patterns and participation
Is this therapy?
No. I’m a coach and educator, not a licensed therapist.
Coaching focuses on skill-building, education, somatic awareness, and moving forward, rather than diagnosis or clinical treatment of mental health conditions. If you need therapyโespecially for acute mental health crises, severe trauma, or conditions requiring medication managementโI’ll help you find appropriate resources. Many of my clients work with both a therapist and me.
Where are you located? Do you work virtually?
I’m based in Western Massachusetts. I offer:
In-person sessions (Western MA) for coaching and, when appropriate, cuddling/connecting work
Virtual sessions (video) for coaching with clients anywhere
What’s your cancellation policy?
I ask for 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session.
If you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice, you’ll be charged the full session fee. I understand that emergencies happenโif something truly urgent comes up, let me know and we’ll work it out.
Life gets messy sometimes. If you’re sick, overwhelmed, or just not in the right headspace for a session, let me know as soon as possible and we’ll reschedule. The goal is to make sure our time together is actually useful, not to penalize you for being human.
How long do people typically work with you?
It varies, but most clients work with me for 3-12 months.
Some people come for focused work on a specific issue (healing from a breakup, processing assault, navigating a coming out) and we work intensively for 3-6 months. Others stay longer because we keep uncovering new layers or they want sustained support as they build new relational patterns.
There’s no “right” timelineโwe’ll figure out together what the work needs.
What’s the difference between coaching, cuddling, and conscious connecting?
Coaching is talk-based work where we explore patterns, build skills, process experiences, and navigate the complexities of intimacy, relationships, gender, sexuality, and healing.
Restorative Cuddling and Conscious Connecting are deeper, more embodied modalities that involve therapeutic touch and consciousness integration work. These offerings are invitation-only and available only to established coaching clients when it feels aligned for both of us.
I don’t offer cuddling or connecting as standalone services. They emerge naturally from the coaching relationship when there’s trust, clarity, and readiness for that level of work.
How do I access cuddling or connecting work?
You don’t request itโI offer it when it feels right.
After working together in coaching, if I sense that touch-based or consciousness integration work would serve your healing, I’ll bring it up. We’ll discuss what that might look like, whether it feels aligned for you, and how to proceed.
This ensures that deeper work happens within an established foundation of trust, boundaries, and mutual understanding.
What if I’m nervous about discussing sex, trauma, or my body?
That’s completely normal and actually a good sign that you’re tuned into what feels vulnerable.
We’ll move at your pace. You’re always in control of what we discuss and how deep we go. My job is to create a space where it’s safe to explore what’s hardโnot to push you into places you’re not ready for.
What if this brings up more than I can handle?
That’s why I work slowly and attentively. If something intense comes up, we’ll work with it together at a pace that feels manageable.
I’m also clear about when additional support might be neededโwhether that’s a therapist, a doctor, or another kind of practitioner. You’re not in this alone.
Do you work with people who’ve caused harm?
Yes. Part of my work involves helping people who’ve caused relational or sexual harm understand the patterns that led to that harm, and build new ways of being in relationship.
This isn’t about shame or punishmentโit’s about genuine transformation so you don’t repeat those patterns.
