What Is Tantra and Do You Want A Tantric Coach?

Tantra has become a compelling practice, spirituality, mindset, healing modality, and so much more.

And for good reason; it’s non-dual.

What that means is there isn’t a hierarchy between body and mind.

This is How To Invite Heartbrokenness To Teach You

I have been deeply grieving the last several weeks and letting my body show me how to forgive myself and others, how to heal, and how to love.

There's no pushing or forcing, no "should" or "shouldn't."

There's a deep surrender to "This is how I feel right now...This is how it is in this moment."

This is How To Gently Awaken Your Sexuality with Spring Energy

Feel the sun warming the air...

See the flowers bloom yellow, red, pink...

Taste fresh, dripping fruit...

Inhale freshly cut grass and squeezed lemons...

This is How You Remember Who You Are and Explore Tantra As Playful

Sometimes I forget that I went 30-something years without ever experiencing orgasm.

Sometimes I forget I am a certified Tantric Sex Coach.

Sometimes I forget that we're here for the full-spectrum experience of being human.

Gently Support One Another's Bodies and Sexuality with Loving Touch

Sit down with me?

I'm picturing us nestled around a small, square table.

The flat wood is darker, and the texture offers my chest calm and grounding sensations with a reminder of the outdoors.

Maybe you're across from me so we can look at one another.

Lay Back, Remember Who You Are, and Return Home to Yourself

I lay back down after turning over to see what time it is.

It's too early.

My eyes are too dry, too swollen, too tired to be awake right now.

And here I am.

This Is How You Move Toward Embodied Self-Love

Something so powerful and deep happened in a coaching session a few weeks ago.

I've been thinking about it and wanting to share it, thinking it might click a few things into place for you, too.

Because most of us...we want to experience love with a partner, with our person.

The idea of self-love can feel so far-fetched and inaccessible because we first experience love in relationship and attachment to our primary caregivers.

This is how you can honor your body's wisdom and sensitize to the celebrations of life

When I sit down to write to you, I consider what I'm going through, what I'm learning, and what I need.

I also pour over the threads I witness weaving themselves through the lives of my clients.

Yesterday some pain in my body had moved on, and I felt a sense of joy and happiness reignite within.

This is How You Take Ownership of Your Sexuality

You may not be having sex or as much sex as you want with your partner during this pandemic.

Maybe—like me—your partner and you are sheltering-in-place in different locations.

You may be single or dating.

This is How To Give Yourself What You Most Need Right Now

I feel like I'm in the tornado outer funnel right now...

Just hanging on...

And hoping I don't get spit out in a manure patch.

This was shared with me recently, and I thought, That's about right.

This is How I Realized My Heart is Numbed

Sometime recently a friend forwarded me a list of journaling prompts, questions to explore and really look at around pandemic, coronavirus, social distancing, COVID-19, shelter-in-place, quarantine, isolation, ventilators, ICU.

I kept her email and every once in awhile would open it up and read through the questions.

Well, actually, I'd read the first prompt and stop.

At War With Yourself?

A few days ago the ugliest, meanest, cruelest pieces of me descended.

I was too weak to stop them.

It hurt.

They hurt me.

I cried in the shower and hyperventilated and heaved....

But the next morning I leaned into tools I use to remember and embody supportive, kind, loving pieces of myself.

We all have these pieces—the ones that criticize and promote fear and ones that are compassionate and forgiving.

Oftentimes we are at war with ourselves thinking we have to lead with this voice or from that piece.

Nope.

You can hear and acknowledge and allow more than one conflicting voice or thing at a time...

And then you can CHOOSE.

Choose to lead with love.

Choose to lead with compassion.

Choose to lead with acceptance.

Choose to lead with curiosity.

Choose to lead with openness.

And thrive.

Sending you so much love,
