Hello Hello Beautiful Human...
Welcome to this part of your journey.
You are a lover and you are WHOLE.
Unfortunately, trauma disrupts the connection to our wholeness.
This impacts your ability to become a present and intentional lover to yourself and to others. This presence practice and intentionality is your erotic self-awareness what I call - lovership. The embodiment of your lovership is called The Erotic Self.
I personally and professionally know this truth. As a Black femme survivor of the complex trauma of multiple core wounds from my childhood and adulthood and... after reclaiming my HEALING NARRATIVE, I AM THRIVING in my lovership. Professionally, The Erotic Self is a sexological research concept I use to help myself and my clients heal and reclaim their lovership.
As a result of healing my erotic self, I realized I AM WHOLE and I was already WHOLE.
I learned in my journey towards sexual healing and sexual liberation that Healing The Erotic Self is Healing The WHOLE-Self.
I believe the path between one's sexual healing and well-being requires WHOLE-Self healing to experience, without sexual distress, joy and pleasure, sexually and non sexually. This is sexual healing.
Your sexual healing allows you to SHIFT from wounded lovership to an empowered lovership.
This is the SHIFT I guide you through by supporting you to establish and embody safety from within, develop self-trust with an intuitive relationship with your mind, body, and energy. This is sexual liberation.
Who am I?
I am Mx. Lena Queen, LCSW, M.Ed. (Queen/they/SistaSexologist), a private practice clinical somatic sexologist, integrative psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist, cannabis & plant medicine advocate, and sacred sexuality practitioner and facilitator, in addition to, author, a professional development coach, consultant, and TEDx speaker.
What is The Erotic Self?
Based on the pleasure-informed sexological research of Dr. Tracie Q. Gilbert (2018), I define the Erotic Self as the intuitive relationship between one's mind, body, and spirit informed by the energy of desirability, both sexually and non-sexually. Please note spirit is not in context of religious dogma but the conscious awareness of one's energy.
What is sexual distress?
Defined by sexuality researcher and educator Dr. Shemeka Thorpe (2023), sexual disress is negative emotional responses such as worry, anxiety, frusration, bother, or feelings of inadequacy that people experience related to their sex lifes and sexual functioning.
What is sexual healing?
Sexual healing is the therapeutic, spiritual, and emotional transformation of one's erotic energy.
What is sexual liberation?
Sexual liberation is one's ability to act unshamely with self-permission and authenticity to engage with their erotic self within sexual experiences for the purpose of pleasure, pain, power, and/or a combination of those experiences-which can exist OUTSIDE of the attainment of relationship with others or orgasms.
What is the erotic?
The Erotic is the energy of desirability, both sexual and non-sexual.
Who do I support?
While my work centers Black women, femmes, and non-binary folks' sexual healing, I support those who clients who desire to heal and are commited to creating empowering lovership for themselves.
What do we acheive together...
A sustanstable healing system of care, a liberating lifestyle, and empowered lovership!
Creating personalized care practices with erotic hypnotherapy, energy work, breathwork, meditation, mindful movements, and self-reflections, our work together will dissolve self-limiting beliefs with an empowering mindset, replace self-sabotaging behaviors with nurturing care practices, & help you reconnect to your peace, your power, your pleasure, & self and relationship intimacy with an empowered and liberated embodiment, your lovership.
Join Healing The Erotic Self Community.
Not ready to work with me nor within a healing community?
Then I invite you to explore my self-pace options to establish safety and self-trust, get the digital download and free resource, SHIFT, A Self-Liberation Quick Guide, and/or create a liberatory framework to dissolve sexual distress with the sexual shadow work workbook, Healing The Erotic Self Healing Guide and disrupt self-limiting beliefs and improve your overall self-confidence with SHIFT Self-Liberation Guided Meditation. Similar to my group work, these resources can be used for both personal healing and professional development.

Healing is continuous and layered. It's an ongoing process. It is not about Euro-centric understanding of the body and medicalized symptoms.
Healing is about the return to wholeness, the intuitive relationship to mind, body, and energy. It is somatic and integrative- the integration of one’s emotional, spiritual, sexual, mental, physical
Healing is continuous and layered. It's an ongoing process. It is not about Euro-centric understanding of the body and medicalized symptoms.
Healing is about the return to wholeness, the intuitive relationship to mind, body, and energy. It is somatic and integrative- the integration of one’s emotional, spiritual, sexual, mental, physical, and metaphysical selves.
Healing is both/and, not either/or. Healing is self-determined and community supported. It's both one's relationship with the Self and the relationship with others.
Healing does not look the same for melanated people as for non-melanated people. Healing is complicated and compassionate. Healing is not always about peace, but the ability to return to peace. Healing is rest and work....healing is.... yall get the point.
The Erotic Self as described by Gilbert’s Black Sexual Epistemology (2018) is the embodiment of your lovership impacted by eight (8) areas of your lived experience in both affirming and traumatic ways.
Healing the Erotic Self requires an intersectional and somatic approach that is rooted in the need to integrate and not compartmentalize
The Erotic Self as described by Gilbert’s Black Sexual Epistemology (2018) is the embodiment of your lovership impacted by eight (8) areas of your lived experience in both affirming and traumatic ways.
Healing the Erotic Self requires an intersectional and somatic approach that is rooted in the need to integrate and not compartmentalize the relationship of the body with the complexities of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual attraction for marginalized groups in sex therapy (Bowleg, 2008; Gilbert, 2018).
Honoring how one's mind, body, and spirit (i.e. energy) impacted by one's intuition and erotic lived experience is the framework of Healing the Erotic Self Life Coaching.
The Erotic is the energy of desirability, both sexually and non-sexually. It is the relationship between The Self & the senses. The senses is inclusive of one' intuition.
Grounded in Audre Lorde's Uses of the Erotic and centering the lived experience of Black, Brown, & of Color womxn, femmes, & folx- Healing the Erotic Self Life Coaching

Grounded in Audre Lorde's Uses of the Erotic and centering the lived experience of Black, Brown, & of Color womxn, femmes, & folx- Healing the Erotic Self Life Coaching is designed to center our resiliency & affirm our right to create our own narrative, in addition to, nurture our peace, our pleasure, our protection, and our prosperity.
Just as Uses of the Erotic calls, SistaSexologist's healing approach is informed by our lived experience, understands sensuality as self-care, and the erotic as the embodiment of our lived experience.
