with
Rooted Pleasure
At Rooted Pleasure,
we focus on somatic intimacy coaching
to help you rediscover
your confidence, personal power, and pleasure.
Whether you're in Portland, OR, or online,
I can help guide you to a more fulfilling life.
Do you want to have deeper,
more intimate,
and more pleasurable sex?
but does this sound like you
right now?...
You are single or in a relationship and you
struggle to feel connected in sex and intimacy.
You don't know what turns you on anymore,
You've lost your voice and confidence,
You feel dissatisfied with the sex you are having,
You can't even feel pleasure.
You feel so much discomfort, pain or shame around your vulva
and the changes you are seeing and experiencing.
You don't know if you can ever have pleasurable sex again.
You find yourself comparing yourself to other women,
(whether they are in your imagination or not).
Wishing you could be more free, more open,
more able to access pleasure as easily as they seem to.
And you find yourself avoiding intimacy with yourself, or your loved one,
which is creating such a void between you,
and you fear you are losing each other,
and worst of all,
you feel like you have lost yourself.
It's exhausting, disheartening and you feel you are too broken
or stuck in your ways to see a meaningful change.
Oof, it sounds tough.
And here is the great news,
you. are. not. broken,
and you are in the right place, and
YOU ARE COURAGEOUS!
Together, let's co-create a life for you that feels
nourishing, deep, intimate, healthy,
pleasurable, playful, and healing.
Whilst staying in the reality of navigating complex and chronic vulvar conditions,
and being in a relationship during these turbulent times.
Welcome, I'm so glad you are here!

Ways you can work with me
“Any dread about the future is gone, knowing we can access all kinds of pleasure with each other and realising that much of this revolves around the simple acts of being present, attentive and honest. There is less shame and nervousness within the relationship, which has led to better physical, emotional and spiritual outcomes.”
