Supporting Couples and Partnerships

Intimacy Coaching Sessions (aka Relationship Coaching Sessions) can be done virtually or in person. These sessions are for partnerships who are experience strife or roadblocks to connection - including physical connection - that they just can’t seem to get through on their own.

My approach to partner coaching emphasizes finding a shared language set, verbal and physical, that you can use together to better express your selves and hear the other one. I’ve helped partners:

• have a safe and knowledgeable place to focus on touch and physical expression

• navigate romantic life when major life stress, new kids, depression, grief and political instability are pulling at each other.

• express sexuality and sexual preference

• hold the relationship with care through gender transitioning and coming out as queer

• explore different relationship structures (long-term long distance, monogamy, open relationships, polyamory, lifestyle)

• get better at fighting the problem instead of each other

• figuring out how to freak out less and have more fun with each other again

From Pain To Pleasure - Intimacy Coaching Sessions for Partners in Pain is specifically geared to helping partners experience intimate connection while living with chronic pain. Chronic pain sucks. It can exist because of a structural issue or illness in your body, or come from a history of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, or it can be there for reasons unclear to you. No matter where it comes from, it always sucks, and it always impacts your sex life.

Things like vulvodynia, vaginismus, dyspareunia, endometriosis, and PCOS can be especially challenging for vulva owners, and all people struggling with things like chronic fatigue, Chron’s disease, Lyme, and fibromyalgia can likely relate to the challenges of maintaining a relationship while maintaining your sanity. If you and/or your partner(s) are struggling with physical intimacy because of chronic pain, come see me.

Want to learn all about Intentional Touch? These two-hour long Hands-on Approach sessions help partners to really understand how to give touch and receive touch. Turns out, even though most people have been touching other people all their lives, many don’t really know what they are doing or why.

• Partners Relax and Receive Session (yoga and massage) - A receiving session for the partnership: ease into restful positions and get massaged into relaxation with chill music and lighting. A great treat where you can shut your mind off and sink into your body together.

• Custom Partners’ Massage Lessons - A private session where you get customized instruction on how to care for and bring pleasure to your unique bodies. This is the customized version of the group class that I teach, and leaves us with much more time to focus on the specific things you want to get better at feeling and doing with your partner.

• Sweethearts Massage Class - You can think of this beloved client favorite as Stability in Motion’s “partner connection 101”. You’ll learn about how to give a great massage, yes, but you’ll also learn the basics of feeling a body, the foundations of exploratory communication, and how to deeply listen.

Please note! No sexual activity will ever occur during these sessions. These sessions are here to explore all kinds of touch, and I am happy to discuss with you and educate you around all of touch types, but I do not offer directly sexual services of any kind.

If you are attending these sessions and classes, sex and sexuality will be discussed candidly, so please be ready to inform me/other attendees of any boundaries you have around this so that we can all offer the utmost respect and care to one another.
