From Wounded to Empowered: A Professional Use of Self-Liberation
Over the last twenty-three years, I’ve come to believe deeply that our purpose is to live whole and live pleasurably.
Not the kind of pleasure that harms or distracts, but the kind of pleasure that flows from the energy of our desires, that repairs, expands, and sustains our capacity for self- love and relationship love- be it with family, friends, community, and our lover(s). This type of aliveness is fulfilling and reminds us we are more than our labor and discerning regarding the perception and expectations from others.
Through the erotic—the energy of desirability—I guide queer and non-queer trauma survivors, along with healing and helping professionals, to develop:
- Trauma-informed spiritual and trauma-responsive erosomatic care practices to expand your capacity for love & pleasure
- Uses of the erotic for everyday living to cultivate an empowered presence practice
- Sustainable healing systems that honor the WHOLE-Self- mind, body, energy, & spirit and the sacred relationship between your sexuality and spirituality
So you can reclaim your capacity to show up fully—for yourself, your relationships, and your divine purpose.
My Perimenopausal Journey of Moving from Wounded to Empowered
- 2021: After surviving a mental health crisis, I re-committed to creating embodied safety & living from the center of my desires. This shifted me into being more compassionate, reclaim my erotic mindfullness and ability to overcome self-doubt.
- 2022: I began building trust in myself—becoming more discerning in my relationships, embracing self-accountability to inform my discernment, and recognize decision-making as a somatic experience. In August, what was suppose to be a 2-week trip getaway trip to the Dominican Republic began an almost 2-year journey of healing my erotic energy.
- 2023: In the Dominican Republic, I continued to give myself permission to heal my erotic embodiment—aligning my mindset, moods, and movements with my erotic energy, healing values, and erotic curiosity using the healing arts of energy work, hypnotherapy, guided meditation, and somatic and sensual movements.
- 2024: In October, I returned to the U.S. with a presence practice transformed by my erotic intelligence allowing my to continue the journey of integrating the erotic lessons I have learned informing my embodied liberation.
At 52 years old, I have experienced and evolved through many journeys.
Each step, even the smallest “baby step,” has been a radical act of love.
Now in 2025—the Year of the Lover—I celebrate my wholeness and the power of embodied liberation.

My Invitation to You
Capitalism and colonialism have tried to strip us of our inherent worth with our embodied capacity for love and pleasure.
But the truth is:
✨ You have value because you exist.
✨ You are love because you are whole, pleasurably.
✨ You are already a lover, already whole, already worthy.
Self-Care Should Feel Like Soul Care.
It’s your turn to move from wounded to empowered—to reclaim your Erotic Intelligence and activate your embodied liberation.
This sacred work of erotic intelligence will guide you home to your lovership through wholeness and embodied liberation.
