Erotic Alchemy: Erotic Intelligence + Erospirituality
Reclaiming Our Sexuality, Spirituality, & Mind-Body Relationship
Erotic Alchemy is the spiritual or sacred process of transforming emotional wounds, somatic imprints, and internalized shame into embodied safety, intuitive wisdom, sensual power, and erotic self-trust.
Since 2021, I have deepened my relationship to this work because I got to the point that I had to consider how to be happy in the time of chaos (Thanks, perimenopause). I was moving through the mud of my self-limiting beliefs in ways that required me to stretch beyond what I saw and what I knew.
Moving into that unknown was HARD. Wanting to and sometimes reverting to old ways of being was just easy. Struggling with self-limiting beliefs about myself and my work now requires me to unpack my relationship with learned helplessness. With The Erotic, I moved through the 8 areas of The Erotic Self. I often share my erotic healing was not eat, pray, love- it was choose, practice, & surrender, my Erospirituality.
I cried, raged, and sometimes avoided the discomfort of being responsible for my healing.
Being responsible meant I need to be both own my shit and be accountable to it. The Erotic reminded me that being responsible meant I did not have to be mean to myself. This part of my erotic healing journey was about presence and not performance. I had to be genuine, not just authentic. This is an example of one of the Authentic Consent principles- radical responsibility.
Why do I say that? Because my wounded self was authentic, but that was not the authenticity I wanted to embody.
Alchemy is the process of transformation.
To move from performance to presence, I had to be intentional and desire the transformation of my pain into my power; to move from numbness and dissociation into sensation and from the fragmentation of erotic disconnection into feeling WHOLE erotically.
As I continue to live both erotically and COVID-consciously, I have taken this year to explore how those who are ready to and deepening their relationship with their erotic self want to work, rest, and play together.
For now- I am still a non-touch practitioner; however, my healing and liberation work is to get us to a place where we have erotically reclaimed our consent-based relationship to touch, pleasure, and feeling desirable- our erotic power.
My work has been recognized for bringing Black feminist thought—particularly Audre Lorde’s framing of the erotic as power and bell hook's All About Love—into decolonial and liberation-centered embodied healing.
What I Teach (and What You’ll Learn Here)
- Erospirituality: Eros as divine life force, intuitive guidance, and embodied intelligence
- Healing the Erotic Self: Restore embodied safety, self-trust, desire, pleasure, and connection
- Erotic Intelligence: Refine your embodied attunement, emotional and intimacy fluency, presence practice, and creative power
- Consent-forward, trauma-informed practice for trauma survivors and professional communities and those who are both
- Integrative Somatic Sexuality Education rooted in erotic dignity, erotic choice and voice, and erotic liberation

An Invitation to Return to Wholeness
The erotic is not performance—it’s life force. It’s the intelligence that helps you repair what was ruptured, reclaim what was silenced, and remember yourself as worthy of love, pleasure, and power. My work blends trauma-informed practice, somatic sexuality education, and Erospirituality to support healing that is embodied, culturally grounded, and consent-forward.
Working with me, you will:
- Reclaim your embodied safety and intuitive self-trust, reconnecting to your mind & body
- Improve your boundaries, erotic communication, and capacity for pleasure, love, and connection
- Cultivate your erotic energy for desire, pleasure, and purpose without distressful self-doubt, anxiety, and/or shame
As an integrative somatic sex therapist, erotic intelligence coach, and continuing education provider for therapists and healthcare professionals, I offer several healing pathways to prepare for the intentional work, rest, and play of erotic liberation.
I look forward to sharing space with you soon.
