Reclaiming the Erotic Coaching

Reclaiming the Erotic Coaching Program

A 1:1 and group coaching experience for survivors of intimate partner violence

Reclaiming the Erotic is a transformative coaching experience for people who have survived intimate partner violence and are ready to step beyond survival—into a life of embodied pleasure, radical self-love, and erotic liberation.

Rooted in Black feminist wisdom, ritual medicine, movement, and herbal healing, this offering holds space for you to reclaim what is rightfully yours: your body, your voice, your desires, your joy.

What if your healing didn’t have to be quiet?

What if you could dance your grief, write your rage, reclaim your joy, and embody your power—without apology?

Reclaiming the Erotic is a coaching program for survivors who are no longer in active abusive relationships, but are ready to return to their bodies as sacred ground.
Ready to explore the erotic as a site of healing, truth, and transformation.
Ready to reclaim softness, pleasure, and the parts of themselves they were told to silence.

This is not your typical coaching space.
This is a sacred, sensual container built on the wisdom of Black feminism, ritual performance, plant medicine and more.

This is where we come home to ourselves.

This is for you if you’ve ever said:

“I don’t feel safe in my body.”

“I want to feel pleasure again… but I don’t know how.”

“I’ve survived, but I’m still holding the story in my bones.”

“I want softness, power, joy, and erotic freedom—but where do I start?”

“I’m tired of healing quietly. I want to take up space.”

I work with people of all backgrounds, however this is especially for you if you are:

  • A Black woman

  • queer

  • neurodivergent

  • diagnosed with a mood disorder

What We’ll Explore

Rooted Safety

We begin by grounding in nervous system regulation, consent practices, and body-based safety. We create a sacred container where you can slowly, gently rebuild trust—with yourself, your body, and others.

Healing Plant Medicine

Herbal baths, oils, teas alongside altar work, storytelling, and guided cacao ceremonies support your transformation.

Erotic Embodiment

Using breathwork, sensual movement, mirror work, and creative expression, you’ll connect to your erotic self—not just sexually, but as a life force. You’ll explore what feels good, safe, and sacred in your body. You’ll awaken your senses and rewrite your relationship to touch and pleasure.

Reclamation & Pleasure Rituals

We anchor the journey through rituals of release, renewal, and reclamation. We explore how pleasure is not frivolous—but foundational to healing. You’ll learn how to access pleasure as a source of strength, clarity, and creative fire.

🌿 From My Heart to Yours

Leaving an abusive relationship is one of the most courageous and sacred acts of self-love.

You are not broken. You are not alone.

As you take steps toward your safety, know that I am holding you in deep care.

You are powerful. You are sacred. You are already beginning your healing.
