FAQ + Mindfulness
Before embarking on your intimacy journey, please take the time to read through the following information. If you have any questions or concerns please send me an email at kimberly@yourintimacymuse.com. The Intimacy Muse welcomes individuals of all races, genders, and sexual orientations. I truly look forward to supporting you in your journey.
Complimentary Calls
The Intimacy muse offers one complimentary call for any potential client interested in working with me. Each call is 15 minutes and can be booked by clicking the links found throughout the website. These links will direct you to my email. Please provide your full name, location, the area(s) of work you are interested in, and "complimentary call" in the subject line. Once we connect, we will book your free consultation to expand upon the list of services available to you and uncover the possibilities of deepened intimacy. *Due to many uncomfortable experiences, I no longer allow calls to be booked without email communication first.
Coaching Method
Traditional sex therapy often focuses on sexuality from a medical or dysfunction-based viewpoint whereas my coaching is experiential and breaks down elements of intimacy so that clients can experience and practice it in real time. I embody vulnerability, mindfulness, and empathy to help clients deconstruct their social beliefs around sexuality, reduce shame, work through trauma, build confidence, deepen self-awareness, and accept themselves as they are.
When it comes to my coaching, intimacy means allowing myself to connect my emotional body with the emotional body of a client while still maintaining essential boundaries. I engage in physical and emotional experiences with clients so that they are able to practice intimacy in a safe space that is focused on their growth and self-awareness. With that said however, it is important to note that I do not partake in sex with my clients. This is a common misconception of the work I do and I am happy to discuss my methods further during your complimentary call. Intimacy can be learned and the best way to learn is by doing. Change happens when you engage in the experience, not just by talking about it. I never use my clients to fulfill my own intimacy needs, but rather provide them with actions and tools to help overcome their unique challenges.
Single Sessions
If you are engaging in Intimacy or Couples Coaching, I welcome you to begin your journey with a single session to get a feel for the experience and determine whether or not it is a good fit. Beyond that, I ask kindly that you commit to a three session minimum as time and repetition are essential to the learning and growth process.
Patience
It is important to understand the intensity and vulnerability in doing work around sex and intimacy. This kind of work encourages individuals to share emotions and erotic energy openly and honestly. Sometimes, deepening these feelings through experiential work can feel a bit strange or uncomfortable during the first couple of sessions. Please be patient. Be gentle with yourself and be willing to communicate your feelings, needs, and/or boundaries to me as necessary. All I ask is that you give yourself permission to show up fully and approach each session with an open heart and mind.
Privacy
As an intimacy coach, I bring every ounce of my being into each session as I strive to ensure you feel seen, heard, and attuned to. This includes sharing my emotions and sexual energy so that I am able to genuinely connect with and relate to you during each practice. Please honor my confidentiality and privacy before and after each session, as I will honor yours.
Location
All in-person Intimacy and Couples Coaching sessions are held in Los Angeles, CA at my in-home location or via Google Meets for additional comfort and convenience. Experiential BDSM Education sessions are held at a commercial dungeon located in North Hollywood, CA. Details are provided upon booking. The locations of each Date Night service is determined on a per client basis.
In response to Covid and the safety of my clients, all coaching sessions (excluding Experiential BDSM) are available via Google Meets for your well-being and peace of mind. If you are a client who resides outside of southern California, please feel free to take advantage of this offering as I would love to connect with you.
