When Was The Last Time You Were Touched?
It is 11 pm, and Amy is finally in bed.
Her partner slides their hand under the shared blanket to find her flannel pajama-covered thigh and she…. cringes.
She knows what they want with that look of longing in their eyes, but she exhaustingly says “I’m wiped babe, the kids were so tough today and I haven’t even taken a shower and I feel really bloated from dinner.” Any and every excuse to not be intimate.
Her partner turns away, silent and disappointed, and rejected. Then there are more pillows stacked between them on king-size bed.
Amy feels terrible. She knows that she has a great partner and co-parent, but she cannot find that place of desire for the life of her. Where did it go, and what will happen if she can’t get it back?
You think, “We need some help.”
You find me.
You Want to Dream Again.
Jessica’s youngest child has just gotten accepted to the college of their dreams. She thinks, “Oh god, how did this go by so fast?”
She then realizes that her and her partner will be alone in the house for the first time in 24 years.
“What will we talk about when we’re not talking about the kids? Who am I if I am not a mother and a wife? What happened to my sexuality, my vitality, and my career?
“I know my self-care routine will buy me another 50 years, but what am I going to do with it? Who am I supposed to be… now?”
Jessica wants to reconnect to the part of her that can dream again, that wants to feel sensual, sexual pleasure again. To feel empowered as a woman.
She knows she needs help gathering the pieces of herself she put away a long time ago, but where do you start?
You find me.
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Will Damage Your Relationship.
Jason is home at the end of a long exhausting day. When he opens the front door his partner is in the foyer glaring at him with tears in their eyes and rage in their voice.
“You left your computer open last night .”
His heart drops because he remembers what he was looking at. He knows his partner just spent the entire day going down the rabbit hole of his entire secret life; the life he has been hiding for so long.
They are devastated and confused, Jason is horrified and afraid that he will lose….. everything.
How did this seemingly innocent dalliance into watching a little porn to relieve stress turn into totally out-of-control sexual behavior? When did he lose his ability to connect to his flesh and blood partner who he chose to share his life?
Through hurt and tears his partner says, “you need to get help, or we are DONE!”
You find me.
You find me!
Let me help you rediscover and revitalize your relationship to yourself and your partner.
Hi, I’m Shawna.
I understand how hard it is to talk about intimacy and sex. There can be embarrassment or even shame that comes from the messaging we receive around this normal and vital human experience. I truly believe that open, authentic and joyous intimacy with ourselves and in our relationships can change the energy in all parts of life.
I provide a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space for people of all genders, sexual preferences and relationship structures. I have a warm and direct style to help partner and guide you to build a deeper connection to yourself and the people you want to be close with in your life.
It is my purpose and passion to help people get clear about their deepest desires ,wants and needs to live a happier, more fulfilling, and connected life.
