Why Sex Worth Having Exists.

I didn’t arrive at this work because it was trendy.

I arrived here because I saw what was missing.

In my 30s, working as a Registered Dietitian, I watched couples quietly lose connection. They came in for health concerns, stress, weight, or hormones, but underneath, many were no longer talking, touching, or having sex. Intimacy had slipped away, and no one seemed to name it.

At the time, I didn’t fully understand what was happening.

I only knew something essential was being ignored.

A Whole-Body Lens on Intimacy

For more than 25 years as a Registered Dietitian and 11 years as a Licensed Massage Therapist, I’ve worked at the intersection of physical health, emotional well-being, nervous system regulation, and embodiment.

I’ve seen firsthand that:

The body holds stress long after words stop
Desire doesn’t disappear. It goes underground
Health, pleasure, and connection are deeply linked

Later, through over a decade of practicing and teaching non-sexual tantra, I helped hundreds of men learn how to slow down, sense more, and feel safe in their bodies again.

All of this work shared one truth:

When people feel present and attuned, healing happens.

My Own Turning Point

At 47, I experienced my own sexual awakening.

Not through technique or performance, but through a caring, present, and attuned partner who took the time to slow down.

Who showed me that foreplay mattered.

That my pleasure mattered.

That I was worth the time and attention.

Until then, I didn’t realize how rejuvenating, healthy, and deeply connecting sex could be when it’s rooted in presence and trust rather than urgency or expectation.

That experience changed how I understood intimacy forever. And I can honestly say that by being curious and focusing on pleasure and connection (with my body and my partner), the sexual experiences keep getting better year after year.

Why I Teach Men

Today, I work primarily with men because many genuinely want to be better lovers, but were never taught how.

Most men were taught:

To perform, not to attune
To initiate, not to listen
To focus on outcome instead of experience

Sex Worth Having exists to change that.

I teach men how to slow down, stay present, communicate clearly, and offer touch that creates safety and desire rather than pressure.

Not by fixing their partners.

By developing skills they were never given.

My Approach

This work is:

Skill-based, not shame-based
Grounded in the body, not theory
Respectful, practical, and human

I don’t believe intimacy is broken.

I believe it’s under-supported.

When presence replaces pressure, intimacy becomes something both partners want to return to.
