About Me
My Path
At the age of 19, I realized that I was disconnected from my body and my sexuality, and commenced a journey of coming into wholeness with these parts of myself. At 21, I realized that so many others were also disconnected from these parts of themselves, and it was then that I really became a student of sexuality, wanting to share with others what I was learning. Meanwhile, I continued to work more on my own sexual healing.
I first moved to the rainforest of Hawai'i in 2003, and put roots down on the active volcano, Kīlauea. Here I healed deeply. I began having consistently amazing, mind-blowing, and nourishing sexual and sensual experiences. I then dove into my sexuality path as a teacher, supporting others in empowering themselves in this realm.
I was also an elementary school teacher for ten years at an alternative public school that I helped to create, as well as working with children in other capacities. I also did a lot of work with teens, mentoring youth in a therapeutic program and spearheading events for at-risk youth in my community. I humbly learned about Aloha from nākānaka maoli (the Hawaiian people) and from the 'āina (land).
Though I was feeling much more healed and liberated sexually, I was still struggling with attracting partners in relationships who were not the best for me. I was thriving in friendships and other relationships, but needed more healing to have a completely healthy romantic relationship. This healing journey took me longer, and I was starting to wonder if I was "too broken" to have the kind of relationship I wanted.
However, for many years now I have been in the most wonderful relationship with a beautiful man who treats me so well. He is my best friend, and we are both so grateful for how nurturing, fulfilling, and rewarding our relationship is.
Learning how to heal my trauma and my nervous system, as well as mastering communication skills, unlearning problematic messaging from society, learning about attachment styles, and healing and growing in other ways, helped me be able to have this amazing relationship. And I love helping others have amazing relationships, too!
I have had various teachers regarding different aspects of sexuality, including learning sexual meditation practices, studying Taoist teachings of sexual health, learning about Tantra (which is actually not all about sex ;) ), learning about various other aspects of sexuality, and I have learned a great deal from the wisdom of my body. I have been supporting others in the realm of Sexuality since 2005. In late 2017, I moved from Hawai'i to Philadelphia for a few years to obtain my Master of Education in Human Sexuality Studies at Widener University. I graduated in 2019.
I met my partner in Philadelphia in 2018, and in the summer of 2021 we moved back to Kīlauea on the Big Island of Hawai'i, where we are now.
I am anti-racist, against fat-phobia, and against all forms of oppression. I understand the nature of intersectionality. I do my best to be able to see individuals and situations through a culturally-aware lens. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Since I went from being disconnected from my sexuality to having very pleasurable and holistically fulfilling experiences, and for a long time now having the relationship I deeply desired, I love helping others do the same!
