Our Clients
Parents of Newborns & Parents of Teens
There is no class that truly gets you prepared for how life will change after a new baby arrives. The joy is unsurpassed, and the tension on a marriage or couple can be extreme. And it frequently happens twice--during infancy and again during adolescence.
Married Men Who Feel Marginalized or Unseen
It is hard to stay married sometimes. We just live a really long time now. We work a lot longer. We pay bills a lot longer. And sometimes, we fall in to negative patterning with our spouses, and that turns into blame and shame. We don't know how to ask for what we want, or at least not effectively. And we want to be enlivened, so sometimes, we have affairs or leave the wife and kids behind. There are other options.
Long-Partnered Women Who Want to Feel Revitalized
We live in a culture that does not enthusiastically embrace aging, particularly for women. We live in a culture that has not traditionally embraced and lauded women for doing work that is nurturing--we see it in the teaching, nursing, and so-called "soft sciences" like psychology and sociology. We go through a metamorphosis at puberty and another at mid-life that tends to shape our sexuality and desirability on external factors over which we have very little control. And we have spent a lot of time either not asking for what we want, or asking and not getting it. These women come in to have conversations and do somatic practice.
Individuals Who Want to Improve their Social & Dating Life
It's a trying time for Millennials who have waited this long to emerge so that they could get the requisite education out of the way and find as stable employment as one can get in this post-modern world. By the time that all happens, sometimes we find we lack the skills in approaching someone of interest. This all happens in a different way for the middle-aged divorced, and so they come see me to navigate how to get a date, how to behave on a date, what to wear on a date, and sometimes even to get feedback on how the date went.
Men & Women on the Spectrum Who Want to Make Connection
We have worked with (predominantly) men with Asperger's for many years, and have found that many skills can be taught--in fact, most skills can be taught, in terms of dating, approaching, reading non-verbal cues, and moving toward boundaries and consent. Our clients have us help them with this.
Individuals and Couples Wanting to Learn New Skills
It may be that you're a late bloomer or have anxiety about moving into the realm of the sensual or sexual. It may be that you have become recently single and want to learn some new techniques for one to stay single for a while in order to process the break-up. It may be for young or long-term couples who have grown stagnant in their desire for one another and are willing to invest in time to talk and time to get busy with the help and guidance of a sex & relationship advisor.
Poly Units Needing Mediation and Conflict Dialogue
There are enough poly triads and quads as an acceptable lifestyle form that we have begun to see Poly Units needing help with conversations, negotiations, and agreements. The sexy is usually already intact--we help reinforce the sexy by assisting with difficult conversations and hurt feelings.
