Hello Hello Beautiful Human...
Welcome to this part of your journey.
My Why...
You are WHOLE.
Trauma disrupts the connection to our wholeness.
I personally 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.
As a result of my healing, I realized I AM WHOLE and I was already WHOLE.
In this part of my life on this healing journey, I have reclaimed my wholeness.
Today, I embody my wholeness. I am a WHOLE-Self healer and self-liberator. The path to WHOLE-Self Healing was Healing The Erotic Self.
I believe the path between one's sexual well-being and WHOLE-Self healing to experience pleasure, sexually and non sexually without sexual distress is sexual healing and sexual liberation.
This path is filled with with our own unique set of lived experience, sexual and non-sexual, both desirable and traumatic. This erotic lived experience informs and impacts your physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, metaphysical, and sexual well-being- your WHOLE-Self.
The reclaiming of your sexual well-being is the journey from wounded to empowered.
This is the SHIFT I support you with; the SHIFT to establish and embody safety, develop self trust by developing an intuitive relationship with your mind, body, and spirt, and experience self-liberation.
The professional is personal and I am invested in individual and collective healing.
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, I support those who clients who desire to heal and are invested in creating empowering embodiment for themselves.
How I do it...
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 , in addition to, The Healing Space, a Wellness Bed & Breakfast in the Dominican Republic-- I have a multitude of ways of supporting your WHOLE-Self and sexual healing journey.

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.

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.
