She also works with individuals and couples as a sex and relationship coach. In 2010, she launched the Women’s Sexuality Empowerment Apprenticeship program in New York City to work with women on a deeper level, guiding them to explore, heal, celebrate, and expand their sexual selves. She is taking the program on the road in 2011. She is a member of many spiritual communities and believes in the strong connection between spirituality and sexuality. When she’s not being a sex geek, she can be found surfing and hanging out on beaches, making art, and vibing on music.
