About me
My path to sex, love, and relationship work began in early adolescence as I navigated intense self hatred, suicidality, self harm, relational collapse, and terror. The thing that pulled me out was the call of connection. I could no longer bear the excruciating pain of being disconnected from myself and, thusly, at arms length from the world and all I loved.
Throughout every season of shedding and growing, I always came back to the wisdom and power dwelling inherently in my body. That's what brought me to the work of SLR coaching. I believe sexuality and emotional well-being are not separate from the rest of life, they are central to it. When we heal in these places, we become more alive, more present, more free.
What I Believe
Here are the foundational methods for our explorations.
01
The VITA Method
As a VITA-certified coach, I draw from this integrative framework that bridges sexuality, spirituality, and emotional intelligence. VITA™ stands for the Vital and Integrated Tantric Approach. It blends neurobiology, somatic practices, and modern coaching with the wisdom of Tantra and Taoism to offer a completely unique path to healing and awakening authentic embodiment.
The VITA™ Method has been developed by Layla Martin, founder of the VITA™ Institute.
02
Somatic Practices
We experience life through our bodies and senses, and if we want to feel more integrated and healed, the body needs to be intentionally engaged in the process.
Breath, movement, and sound are some of the most direct tools we have for shifting our nervous system, releasing stored emotion, and returning to presence. We use intentional breathwork and movement practices to move energy, open the body, and access states of clarity and release that talk alone cannot reach.
03
Parts Work
Parts Work is a compassionate framework for understanding the different parts of ourselves, the protectors, the wounded ones, the critics, the dreamers, and the inner children. Rather than fighting these parts, we learn to listen to them and develop internal partnership with ourselves. This work creates profound inner harmony, self compassion, transformational shifts in beliefs and habits, and self-leadership.
04
Pleasure
As a practice, pleasure is one of the most powerful ways to cultivate a relationship with your own body, heal shame, reconnect to desire, and develop the capacity for deeper intimacy with others. What we celebrate in ourselves becomes magnified and when we intentionally cultivate joy, delight, and ease, we replace the old habits with new ways of being that actually serve us.
An important disclaimer:
Trauma Healing & Integration doesn’t mean you become immune to normal human experiences.
You're still human. Grief, anger, sadness, loneliness, envy, etc. still show up.
What changes is your relationship to yourself. Your core clear self gets strong enough to stay online, even when hard things happen. You can move through life without collapsing into shame or defeat.
Healing looks like resilience.
All emotions get to belong and you get to trust yourself to be able to feel them.
You get to feel the full range of being alive, and still show up as someone you're proud of.
