"I Was a Teen-Age Sex Counselor"


At the age of sixteen I began working at a free clinic in San Diego, serving as a counselor for pregnant clients. Later, I continued my work with women and families as a post-partum doula in San Francisco, while working hard to achieve my own healing from sexual trauma and loss of desire. I've studied tantra, BDSM, and You might say that I'm a natural born sexologist - 


Professionally, I've broadened my understanding and skills so that I can serve as an even greater resource to others.  Personally, I know what it's like to heal and reawaken - to feel whole again! This is the origin of my service to you.


Should I be fortunate enough to work with you, I offer you my training,  intuition, creativity, and whole-hearted commitment to your sexual health and wellbeing.
