Desire feels quiet,

Your body has learned to brace… or avoid.

In love. In life. In your body.

Begin a conversation
APPLICATION IS A CONVERSATION - NOT A COMMITMENT.

What working together ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE:

This isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about:

  • Feeling more at ease in your body.

  • Staying present during hard conversations.

  • Letting desire show up without pressure.

  • Relating with more honesty & less defense.

    We move at your own pace. We work with what is already present.

Where are you feeling stuck right now?

Pause for a moment.

Notice where connection feels strained, quiet, or unclear-

in your relationship, your body, or yourself.

That’s where we begin.

Working together looks like this:

  • We start with a conversation to see if it’s a fit

  • Sessions are private and tailored to you

  • The work is experiential, NOT just talking
