Sex Educator, Sexuality Researcher, and Embodiment Coach
Pronouns: (he, they, él)
Overview
Thank you for visiting! I'm glad you're here.I’m a sex educator, sexuality researcher, and embodied life coach dedicated to helping others live fuller, more empowered lives, especially when it comes to sexuality.To me, sexuality is deeply interconnected with how we express ourselves, interact with others, and navigate the world. It’s a broad and dynamic part of who we are. My work focuses on helping people explore this aspect of life through knowledge and embodiment.Embodiment means connecting with the knowledge within our bodies, not just our minds. In our culture, we’re often discouraged from exploring this, but I believe tapping into this "body wisdom" can unlock profound personal growth and understanding.Through my work, I aim to foster compassion, understanding, and acceptance—both for ourselves and others. I believe that by learning and sharing knowledge, we can break down barriers, reduce fear, and create a more connected world.I hope you find the resources here helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.Thank you for stopping by!
