Hello Hello Beautiful Human...
Welcome to this part of your journey.
My Why...
You are a lover and you are WHOLE.
Trauma disrupts the connection to our wholeness.
This impacts your ability to become a present and intentional lover to yourself and to others. This ability is what I call - your 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.
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.
How can we work together?
With my somatic psychotherapy and Somatic Sex Therapy practice, Journey Wellness & Consulting Group, LLC., my teaching and consulting non-profit, The WHOLE-Self Healing Institute, Inc. and my signature life coaching program, Healing The Erotic Self & SHIFT Embodied Wellness Coaching for personal & corporate wellness, I have a multitude of ways of supporting your WHOLE-Self and sexual healing journey.
Not ready to work 1:1?
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, create a liberatory framework to dissolve sexual distress with the ebook, Healing The Erotic Self Healing Guide and Reflection Journal Healing (paperback available soon), and heal your erotic energy with an erotic hpynotherapy meditation. Similar to my 1:1 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 relationship to mind, body and breath. It is somatic (body-based)- the integration of one’s emotional, spiritual, sexual, mental, physical, and metaphysical selves.

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 relationship to mind, body and breath. It is somatic (body-based)- 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) contains 8 channels or areas that is impacted by the both affirming and oppressive experiences of our life.
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 emotion (i.e. energy) is impacted by one's lived experience and creates the relationship between mind, body, and breath is the framework of Healing the Erotic Self Life Coaching.
The Erotic is the relationship between The Self & the senses.
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

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.
