Integrative Health Coaching for Authentic Queerness, & Empowered Intimacy
-
Integrative
Integrative health coaching is a collaborative, creative process that supports you in aligning your life with your values, vitality, and wholeness. It’s about tending the roots of well-being, not just managing symptoms, but exploring what truly nourishes and sustains you.
This kind of coaching honors the full spectrum of your being: body, mind, heart, spirit, community, ancestry, and environment.
-
Authentic Queerness
To me, queerness is not just about who you love—it’s about how you live. It is an invitation to move beyond rigid boxes and into the full, nuanced truth of who you are. It is about creative self-expression, sacred subversion, deep listening, and chosen kinship.
This coaching space is for LGBTQIA+ folks and for anyone called to live more truthfully. You can be cisgender and straight and still feel the pull toward authentic queerness as a way of relating to the world, a way that centers integrity, embodiment, connection, and liberation.

Empowered intimacy
Intimacy is so much more than sex. It is how we meet ourselves. It is how we allow others to see us. It is our capacity to be in contact with life sensually, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.
In this work, the erotic is welcomed as a life force, not limited to sexuality. Intimacy includes the fierce honesty of self-connection, the sacredness of platonic closeness, the grounded joy of creative expression, and the ancestral memory of being fully alive.
Benefits of Integrative Health Coaching
Integrative health coaching can support you in:
Navigating life transitions with more ease
Building sustainable self-care rhythms
Deepening connection to body and intuition
Reclaiming joy, creativity, or meaning in your life
Befriending stress, pain, or uncertainty with skill and support
This work is trauma-responsive, queer- affirming, and liberation-rooted. You don’t need to be “well” to begin, you just need to be willing to be in conversation with your aliveness.
Sessions might include somatic practices, guided imagery, expressive arts, nervous system tools, value- and strengths-based goal setting, or nature-based reflections. But mostly, we slow down together so you can hear yourself more clearly.
This is not about having a five-step plan to success. It’s about coming home to yourself, and moving from that place with more clarity, compassion, and courage.
Together, we explore what health, sustainability, authenticity and intimacy mean for you. We might ask or explore:
What has been shaped by fear or conditioning?
What is truly yours to reclaim?
Work toward reclaiming desire and pleasure after trauma or shame
Ways of engaging with touch, boundaries, kink, or communication with more confidence
Navigating identity shifts, transitions, or relationships
Cultivation of deeper presence with yourself and others
FAQs
Is this therapy?
No. I'm a health coach, not a licensed psychotherapist. I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
My background as a trauma-informed massage therapist and integrative health student means I know how to hold space when emotions or body sensations arise, but that's different from clinical treatment. If you're navigating active trauma or PTSD, I encourage therapy and can work alongside your existing supports.
Who is this for?
LGBTQIA+ folks, anyone exploring intimacy or identity, and people who want coaching grounded in body wisdom and relational depth, not just goal-setting. You don't need to be "well" to start, just curious and willing.
What happens in a first session?
We talk about what brought you here and what support would feel most helpful. I may invite a brief somatic practice if it feels right. Sessions are approximately 45 minutes via Zoom.
Do I need to be LGBTQIA+ to work with you?
No. While I center queer and trans folks, this work is for anyone navigating authenticity, intimacy, or lifestyle shifts like movement, stress, or sustainable well-being, all grounded in body wisdom and relational care.
How is this different from your massage work?
Massage is body-centered and touch-based. Coaching is verbal and focuses on life design, values, and reflective inquiry. Both are trauma-informed and whole-person. Some clients do both.
