Sex and Intimacy Coaching

About Me

Hi, I'm Michelle!

Like many couples, my relationship changed after my children were born.  It's through my own journey to reconnect with myself, and my partner, that my desire to help others in the areas of pleasure and intimacy was born. 

  I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Somatica®-trained sex/intimacy coach located in Orange County, California. I have been a mental health practitioner for almost 20 years and bring all of my knowledge and experience into our time together. 


 Although I bring my wealth of knowledge with me, coaching is not psychotherapy.  To learn more about the Somatica® method please go here:  Somatica Method | Sex & Relationship Coach Training | Somatica Institute 


I look forward to working together!

What Do My Client's Say?

"The Reigniting Pleasure retreat left me feeling empowered!
I came in with, in all honesty, a preconception of something that would make me feel uncomfortable and only benefit my husband.  I had all the cliches in my head and prepared myself for some uncomfortable moments,  but here's what I experienced:

  • education - I'm a 41 year old woman and thought I was educated on this topic but boy was I wrong!  
  • safety - I felt incredibly safe, secure and free of judgment.
  • tools - in one session, I was able to walk away with tools that I was able to incorporate in my relationship that made such a significant impact!
  • no pressure - I can't stress this enough!  Michelle is so knowledgeable and experienced. She genuinely loves teaching and guiding you, it is evident by the way she communicates through compassion and love. 

If I could scream this from the rooftop than I would, every single couple needs to try this at least once to experience the shift that we did!  We are looking forward to going back to participate in another retreat." 


"My Husband and I recently took the Reigniting Pleasure with Michelle. We are parents to two young children and found that we weren't prioritizing our intimate relationship as much as we used to. Life just kind of takes off and it's easy to lose sight of our connections outside of our family dynamic. We were really nervous about taking the course, but knew we needed to do something to reconnect. We found the experience to be enlightening and nonjudgmental. We learned so much about ourselves and each other!! I was most surprised at how we learned to communicate our needs in a loving way. It's so helpful even outside the bedroom. Our relationship has benefited so much from this experience. We would absolutely recommend it to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship."


"This was the first time my partner and I had ever done something like this. We didn't have any major intimacy issues, but just wanted to reconnect after being together for 7+ years. We both were a little bit nervous about what to expect. However, all of our fears were put to rest within the first few minutes. Michelle provided a comfortable, warm, open space for us. She was highly knowledgeable, experienced, and relatable-even sharing her own experiences. We were able to fully engage with one another, and both of us came away with a better understanding of one another's intimacy goals as well as a deeper connection. We were even assigned homework to practice with to continue to improve our intimacy. I would highly recommend, even if you're nervous about doing something like this! We are both looking forward to having this experience again."
