Spiritual Eros About Me — Spiritual Eros - Sex and Intimacy Coaching

"Who told you, you were naked?"
- Gen. 3:11a

As a Sex and Intimacy Coach, my work is borne out of my own spiritual and sexual journey - having come from a fairly Conservative Christian (Pentecostal) background. I came out in 2000 and for the next decade wrestled with what it meant to be Christian, black, and gay. That decade of wrestling taught me a lot about who I was, what I truly desired, and what I could offer the world. In 2011, I attended my first Body Electric workshop. It was during that weekend I realized a significant truth, that Spirituality and Sexuality were not mutually exclusive!

From this experience, my spiritual appetite for a more conscious embodied existence was whet!

For the past 16 years I’ve been on the front lines of the fight against HIV/AIDS - individual and couples sexual health counseling, STI testing, and HIV/AIDS Social Work Case. In 2012 I became a student of Tantra. However, it wasn't until I graduated with my Masters in Social Work in 2013 that I realized my passions could not be fully realized within the typical Social Work medium. I longed to do work which helped people heal the rift between their spiritual and sexual identities. I had experienced the valuable healing that could be derived by the somatic work I had already experienced, and I felt it was this type of work which was sorely needed in my spiritual, racial, and sexual communities.

I am a firm believer as we continue our march towards equality, that somatic educators have an unique opportunity to teach others how to be more embodied in themselves and within community; to truly embrace the equality, liberation, and freedoms so many have fought and died for. I consider helping and serving others towards their healing part of my spiritual work and practice.
