I remember the first time I went to therapy like it was yesterday. I remember how I’d dismissed my doctor’s suggestion that I talk to someone, because ‘I’m not the kind of person that needs to do that’. I remember how angry I’d felt with my friend who also suggested it. She happened to [...]
I believe that all women deserve to feel confident, empowered and deeply pleasured around sex. And yet, there’s so much about it that we’re not taught. Knowledge is power beauty - so today I’m talking about orgasms. It’s stuff that I believe we all should have been taught, but probably weren’t. If we believe [...]

Maintain a satisfying, loving, thriving sex life involves emotional and relationship factors like spending time together, trust, openness, generosity and intimacy. But this isn’t all we need.

I recently had a single girlfriend call me to ask for suggestions of things to do for Valentine’s day, since all her couple friends were spending the evening together and all the bars and restaurants near her house will be packed with loved-up lovers. I get it. I actually feel like Valentine's Day in [...]
Love is Action. Love is something we DO, not just something we feel. Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. And like all powerful forces, it creates movement. Love is a verb. In my work, I often hear, ‘we’ve ‘fallen out of love’. But maybe a better way to describe [...]

We tend to think everyone else has a great relationship and sex life. We can think that there’s something wrong with us because [...]
We've all experienced that tough time after a break-up where we have picked ourselves up and re-entered the dating world. We might have had a few one night stands to break the ‘I’ve had sex with the one person for the last however many years’ pattern…. But what happens when you meet someone you [...]

My journey to getting out of my head and learning to connect with my body led to an incredible turning point in my life. I was 22 and just discovered Tantric Yoga. I had never been very good at meditating. My mind seemed to actually get BUSIER every time I tried to sit [...]
