Welcome, I’m Jess!
Allow me to introduce myself.
As a self proclaimed muggle-turned-wizard, I’ve spent the last four years deeply evolving into the person in front of you. Queer, Embodied, Consensually Non-Monogamous, and Kinky.
After leaving a corporate career, marriage, and lifestyle that were no longer serving me, I have embraced my true journey as a Somatic Intimacy Coach. When I realized how much better I felt, I wanted to help others by creating a space they could heal and grow within their own intimate lives.
I became a Somatica® Trained Intimacy and Relationship Coach at the Somatica Institute and also received an Introductory Certificate in Embodiment Counselling from the Institute of Somatic Sexology. My recent studies also include the Somatica® Couples Training and ‘Beyond Consent’ with Mischa Byruck.
So much of my transformation came as a result of my studies and the tools and insights I gained through my training and self-care practices. Now I want to pass these tools on to you so you can live a life full of passion, embodiment, intentional connection, self awareness, and mind-blowing intimacy.
I am currently based in Vancouver, Canada, where I offer workshops, speaking engagements and retreat facilitation, in addition to my individual and relationship sex and intimacy coaching.
The Somatica® Method
Human intimacy cannot be cognitively planned or practiced, in a way that allows us to grow within our own connections.
Intimacy is felt, experienced, and learnt through the soma (the body).
For us to connect deeper, to unlearn limiting habits, or experience safety within touch, we must allow the soma to truly experience safety, pleasure and empathy, through experiential practice.
My approach to intimacy coaching is founded on the principles of:
Embodiment
Vulnerability
Empathy
Expansion through experience
In session I will support your expansion through authentic relating.
If you require a sense of safety in your body, I may hold you lovingly.
If you want to practice making the first move, I will encourage you to explore consensual touch with me.
If you want to discuss the exploration of a new kink, I may join you in this conversation.
My practice is a portal for expansion. A safe space to be who you truly are, and embrace heightened levels of intimacy and embodiment into your life.
