Cosmic Midwife of the Soul

I work with Pleasure & Plants to support you in living a life in love

Trauma-Informed Somatic, Relational & Sexual Alchemy

You belong here.

I’ll hold and guide you over thresholds.

As you birth new ways of being in yourself and the world.

I work at the intersection between sensual somatics, sacred sexuality, intimacy coaching, womb-work, and plant medicine. This work is open to all bodies and gender identities.

Together, we’ll work on dearmoring physical, emotional, and energetic spaces within yourself so you can open up to the magic of life and experience ecstatic connection.

Step into yourself. Step into your authentic desires and expression so you can share your unique gifts with the world.

Dearmoring allows you to open up to giving and receiving more love - so you can experience satisfying and nurturing relationships with yourself, others, and the natural world.

So you may live a life in love.

— Annetta
Ariel - words can truly not capture the gratitude I feel. The depth and intimacy of the healing you midwifed in me is so profound. And reached places no other therapy could reach. We de-shamed desire. De-shamed pleasure. De-shamed the body. Healed a pre-verbal hungry ghost state of sexualized deprivation. I came to you fragmented and on the brink of a break up. You have officially saved my marriage and helped make me whole.
— Mike

We all desire connection where we feel seen, heard, and met.

A connection that brings us into the web of life - where we experience a sense of belonging and oneness. Where we feel liberated to both express and receive love.

Connection that transports us into a timeless space.

Yet we develop conscious, and unconscious, guarding patterns in the physical, energetic and emotional bodies as a way to try to stay safe and avoid being hurt. These patterns that protected us at one moment in time and now inhibit us from experiencing the very thing we want.

Our Eros; life force energy; erotic energy. 

It is the energy of creation, expression, and aliveness that moves through us.

When we learn break free from guarding patterns and shame, free up, and come into, right relationship with our eros - we become unstoppable forces of empowerment and creation. 

We cultivate more pleasure, joy and live deeply satisfying lives.

We can access our Eros through our sensual body.

Most therapeutic and healing environments fall short in providing space to reconnect with sensuality and reclaim sexuality. We need spaces of permission that allow for the unfolding of our desires and support us in developing and practicing the skills and tools to work with our own erotic energy and navigate relational and sexual exchanges.

We need a non-charged safe enough container to practice these skills and tools in. To build our capacity for intimacy and connection with ourselves and others.
