Your Coaching Session
Fulfilling sex and satisfying relationships are vital human needs, which are foundational to healthy and meaningful lives. Research shows that people learn (and institute change) by engaging in actual experience, doing and practice. To that end, I’ve geared my practice so that much of my work is somatic (body-based), practical, and experiential. Oftentimes, it is interactive, includes guided practice, and if we work in-person, can also be hands-on.
As your guide in the realms of love, sex and intimacy, I am here to support you so you can experience a greater sense of aliveness and wholeness. From this place, you can more fully connect to yourself (and your loved ones) and have the satisfying sex, relationships and life you truly want.

Time MattersDue to the deep nature of the work, I make sure we have plenty of time. Sessions can be as short as 60 min or as long as 3 to 4 hours.
Weekly sessions for individuals are usually 75-90 minutes. Couples' sessions are usually 90-120 minutes. Bodywork sessions are usually 2-3 hours. |
Flexible Session TypesSessions can be in-office or by phone, Skype, or Zoom to suit your comfort level and schedule.
If you live in a different part of the country (or outside of the United States), we can arrange for you to come to San Francisco for an intensive customized just for you. We can meet over a day, a weekend, or a week. |
Multi-CulturalI speak conversational Mandarin and Cantonese and have native fluency in Spanish.
I also specialize in working with those who come from what are considered "traditional" cultures, religions and/or backgrounds. I have extensive cross-cultural experience, both personally and professionally. |
Experiential Learning & The Tools To Heal
Sessions are somatic (body-based), holistic, and sometimes, interactive and hands-on. What does that mean? While talking about things can be really helpful, sometimes we need to do a little more than just talk. For example, if you want to learn to dance, watching a video or reading a book will only get you so far. Eventually you have to start moving. Many parts of sex, intimacy and relationships can be broken down into smaller, more manageable components that we can practice and learn in session. Think of it as "small stakes" practice that you can engage in so that you are more likely to be able to replicate your successes outside of session in the rest of your life.
This work is radically different from traditional talk therapy and sex coaching. While we will engage in deep conversation and there is often an educational and cognitive component to our work, I will also show up as my authentic self during sessions in the capacity of mentor, guide and partner. You will have the opportunity to practice intimacy skills while I provide you with real-time guidance and feedback.
Because I have been trained in various modalities, I have a large box filled with many "tools" and love creating custom-tailored sessions that are powerful and effective with simple and accessible practices that yield profound results.

Flexible, Diverse, & Committed
I work with individuals and couples and see clients in my office in San Francisco. Phone or video call such as Skype or FaceTime sessions are also available for those who are not local or those who prefer to work in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
I speak Mandarin, Cantonese and have native fluency in Spanish. I'm proud to offer culturally-aware support. One of my specialties is working with those who come from what are considered "traditional" cultures, religions and/or backgrounds.
Sessions for individuals are usually 75 mins. Sessions for couples are usually 90 mins. Bodywork ranges from 90-120 minutes or more. Longer sessions or intensives can be pre-arranged for specific goals, accelerated progress or for those who live outside of the San Francisco Bay Area.
