How is this different from therapy?

​

We will do lots of talking, but less storytelling and venting than you might do in therapy. Healing happens in the body and the nervous system. Storytelling keeps you in your head. If simply thinking about our problems could heal us, we'd all be fixed by now.

We will connect on an intimate, warm, and authentic human level. The boundaries of this practice are different and better suited to healing relationship dynamics because it is more personal than traditional talk therapy.

You will improve your relationships and enhance your capacity for pleasure by finding safety in your body, learning how your body communicates to your mind, and by growing more awareness and depth in connection. You will also find that you are less anxious and stressed in your day-to-day life.

​

What methods do you use?

​

The foundation of my work is based on the Somatica Method. I also work with principles derived from the Hakomi Method and Somatic Internal Family Systems or 'Parts Work', among others. Above all else, my practice emphasizes body-mind integration, nervous system healing, and building an authentic connection with each client.

​

What happens in a session?

​

***Please note that all sessions are fully clothed.***

 

In sessions, I will ask you questions to understand your sexual and relationship history, offer radical empathy and understanding, guide you through breathing and visualization exercises, and occasionally lead you through movement and role play.

 

We will hold meaningful eye contact, offer authentic praise and encouragement, express desires, share appreciation, process disappointment, and actively work to build and repair our relationship as needed. We will laugh a lot and perhaps cry a little. In summary, you will learn to better relate to others by relating with me.

What does experiential mean?

​

Experiential means that I am not merely a bystander or critic. I will bring my own energy to our sessions and tell you when I feel turned on, empowered, or inspired by you. I will also let you know when you've approached my boundaries and where I need to slow down or make adjustments.

​

Do we ever meet in person?

​

Almost all of my sessions are online and they are highly effective and fun that way.
I occasionally arrange in-person sessions in the West Seattle area with established clients and am available for day-long intensives by request.

​

I like Your Feet. Can I email you to tell you about it?

​

Nah, bro. That's not what this is.

​

What Coaching Packages Do You Offer?

 

Take a peek at this Coaching page for a list of packages or browse the pages under the drop down menu called 'Coaching and Groups' or 'Courses and Guides'. You will see that I work with both singles and partnered folks of all genders.

 

What if I feel scared to spend the money or get started?

​

(Applies to working with me AND to relationships in general.)

​

Making an investment in yourself and your growth can feel really exciting and also overwhelming at the same time.

You might be worried or experiencing doubt. That voice can be really loud sometimes. Ask it what it needs and take your time getting comfortable with the idea of stepping outside of your comfort zone.

​

You might never be all the way ready, but you're welcome to take a pause to listen to your body before committing.

Remember that something brought you here to me. Something that you've wanted for a long time.

 

No matter what, this work will change you.

 

You may not be able to see it now or maybe you're holding very tightly to a specific goal and afraid that you won’t get it. I can guarantee that you will grow in my Somatic Intimacy Training and that you will level up in many aspects of your life, not just in sex or romance. I am very skilled at balancing what you need and desire and will help you pursue it in a safe and methodical way.

​

I offer payment plans and also welcome you to share with me what is holding you back so I can help you or make a different recommendation that is a better fit for you at this time.

​

Remember! My intro sessions are just $99 for a reason! I want you to try it out and get comfy with me before you commit. 

What makes Veronica special?

​

Intimacy coaching is personal to me because I've learned so much on my own road to reclaiming my pleasure and sexuality after major life transitions, breakups, burnout from a fast-paced career, chronic illness, and a herpes diagnosis.

Before following my dream of becoming a doula of the taboo, I had a 10+ year career in public service and social justice. My work is well-rounded, culturally competent, and inclusive of many lifestyles.

In addition to my degrees in Psychology with a minor in Sociology and a Masters in Public Management, I have trained with the Somatica Institute and a very humorous Universe.

I'm a Scorpio moon, cat mom, and a stone cold fox. PNW is home.

​

So much love,  Veronica
