Summer 2026 Cohort:  

5-Week Professional Development Intensive

Meets on Sundays

Sunday July 12th to August 9th

12noon-2pm EDT/US East Coast time

Large-scale surveys indicate that while nearly 99% of clients in certain clinical settings harbor sexual concerns, as few as 9% of healthcare providers routinely initiate discussions regarding sexual health. 

Learn how to safely and ethnically talk about sexuality and somatics with this 5-week professional learning intensive. This SAR-like learning intensive addresses a critical need in the current healing and healthcare landscape: to expand affirming understanding and integrative somatic strategies of sexuality within service delivery, while supporting your emotional and mental capacity  for sustainable positive impact on mental health support and outcomes of both clients and providers.

As a therapist, this therapy supervisor is going to encourage you to consider who’s measuring stick you are using when you holding space for your clients.

Building rapport is about seeing your client as a whole person.

Being a liberation-centered therapist means you are willing to learn and apply how wholeness shows up in your clinical care.

Wholeness is a state of being AND a practice.

Your clients can't heal what you're still ashamed of.

I'll say it louder for the helping professionals in the back.

Folks train for years in trauma-informed care, but are scared of Sexuality & Somatics.

Clinicians, coaches, and educators LOVE discussing love and relationships..

But nobody in your MSW, M.Ed., or coaching program helped you talk about or heal YOUR erotic self.

It was assumed you were doing your part. 

Nobody asked if you'd done your own sexual shadow work before sitting with clients navigating sexual trauma, sexual pleasure, sexual shame, or sexual liberation.

Avoidance is what got us here-collectively.

Being liberation-centered means...

We don't get to skip that.

You don't get to skip that part.

I've spent 22+ years as a clinical somatic sexologist watching brilliant, committed practitioners hit a ceiling — not because they lack skill, but because they were disconnected from their erotic wholeness and did not know how to execute the professional use of the self.

This is what I work on with helping professionals.

 This CE opportunity goes beyond traditional self-care models to focus on "embodied intelligence" – the integration of emotional, somatic, and erotic intelligence.
