By providing a safe-enough, supportive, and knowledgeable place for you to deeply know yourselves, you can develop the skills to deepen intimacy, strengthen trust, and co-create embodied shared values to support your continued individual and relationship growth.

Our approach to healthy intimacy for couples weaves together emotional intelligence, effective communication skills, and embodied eroticism to cultivate a truly inspiring intimacy. You get to be whole people, together, in a way that honors your shared values as well as personal differences.
