my sexual empowerment journey

sex wasn’t always easy for me

In fact, I would say quite the opposite. For the first 26 years of my life, I felt broken and unfixable when it came to sex and relationships.

Like most of us, I grew up in a family and culture that didn’t talk about sex. And like most of us, I grew up with a media and society that shamed and blamed women for their bodies and their radiance.

I started my life witnessing domestic abuse in my household, and never felt safe around men since then.

In high school, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship that lasted for 3 years, where I disconnected and checked out of my body during sex.

For most of my life, I had sex for approval. I had sex because I wanted to make my boyfriends happy or I wanted a guy to like me.

A lot of times when I had sex I was either wasted, didn’t remember it, or I felt highly dissatisfied, insecure, and secretly ashamed about it afterwards.

It didn’t even occur to me that sex could be for my pleasure until my early 20s.

I would ask my friends - how do you have a g-spot orgasm? How do you have good sex?

Though their advice came from a good place, their answers always left me feeling like somehow everyone else in the world “got it” and I was the only one inherently broken inside.

When I was 22 I got into a relationship with a good guy. I started to explore my pleasure and get more comfortable with sex. I was still performing, I still experienced pain during sex, still put his pleasure first, but I thought that was normal.

As our relationship went on, the traumas from my past controlled how I showed up. I felt constantly anxious and stressed about out relationship. I overgave and ignored all of my own needs.

I’d switch from chasing his love and approval to creating fights and paranoia to push him away.

Inside, I felt broken - not good enough, unlovable. I was sure he’d leave me or cheat on me - because “that’s what all men did”.

When our relationship ended, I finally sought out professional help. For a year and a half, I worked with Rachael Maddox, an incredible coach who helped me learn about trauma - and the effects that our past lives and experiences have on our current lives.

In that year and a half, I showed up for myself. I dedicated every part of my being to my healing and growth.

I blossomed. I healed. I started to believe that healthy love and incredible sex could be for me.

After that, I sought out ways to feel more alive and orgasmic in my sexual experiences. I found my teacher, Layla Martin, and started doing tantric embodiment practices.

I learned how to self-pleasure with intention, and use my sexual energy and turn on to empower my life.

As soon as I started doing the practices, I felt what it was like to live self-love and confidence for the first time in my life. I started to attract higher quality men into my space.

I felt brilliant and radiant inside. I could feel how the world reacted to me differently from this space - and my world shifted completely around me.

I met my current boyfriend - the type of man I’d dreamed of but didn’t really think existed. I found the power to go after my dreams - I signed up for my sex coaching training - and went on an intensive, deep dive into doing daily tantric practices and meditations.

I learned that my sexuality and my pleasure was my power. That it was inside of me all along that that it’ll always be an essential part of me as a thriving woman.

I became orgasmic. Like - not even touching myself, 5-minute full body energy orgasms that made me feel like I touched the universe - orgasmic.

I dove deeper into love - and learned how to be with someone as a true partner - and experience love and intimacy far greater than I ever imagined possible.

And now, that energy brings me here. I am overflowing. Bursting at the seams. Embodied in this wisdom so that now, I can show it to you.

Epic love and ecstatic orgasms can be your reality. I know this in the depths of my soul

If you’ve ever been burned by a relationship, if you’re feeling exhausted in dating, if you’re feeling “meh” or even completely disconnected, afraid, or ashamed of love and or sex - I want you to know:

you are worthy

you deserve it

it is possible for you

If a woman like me can come from where I did and do this, you can too.
