Sexuality Coaching
I have a unique and special calling to help those trying to find their way and accept themselves and their sexuality. I learned the power of being true to myself and how to live in harmony with my own nature. It’s been a powerful life experience. I also know first hand the wounds that growing up in a culture of confusion can cause. If you’re looking for a non judgmental empowering experience to heal the shame, guilt and other wounds then this work is perfect for you. This is a part of my calling and a big part of my life purpose. I work with clients in reconciling their beliefs with their feelings and I am an Ordained Minister and Coach of Divinity. Whether your confusion is spiritual or otherwise we can find a path of acceptance for yourself
I help clients with any or all of the 5 phases of sexuality acceptance:
1. Confusion
You've known for some time you're different. Your heart is telling you one thing but society is forcing you down an opposing path. Are you going through a phase or are these feelings part of your core?
2. Acceptance
Acceptance comes when you are genuine about your feelings and can admit to yourself who you are and who you aren't. You have found love for yourself and you are proud of who you are.
3. Coming out to loved ones
You want to be true to yourself and live your best life but there is something you need to do first....Come out of the closet to your friends and family. YIKES!!! This is a journey you should not take alone. I know first hand, this is a journey you can never prepare yourself for fully and there will be many challenges along the way. This is also a very exciting time for you, a celebration!
4. Life after "coming out"
Not only was your coming out a major turning point in your life, but it has had a profound influence on your loved ones as well. Some are more accepting of you than others. While they are coming to terms with the "new you", you are also coming to terms with the "new you". It's a very emotional time with highs and lows, regrets, insecurity and fears.
Gaining acceptance in the gay community is not always easy and dating comes with it's own unique challenges.
5. Life "on the other side of the closet"
The person "on the other side of the closet" is the straight spouse and family. It is devastating to learn that the person you have given your heart to through marriage or in a committed relationship is not who you thought they were. Your spouses' identity crisis is now your identity crisis and you are faced with starting over. It is typical to find yourself going through the grieving stages one would go through over the death of a loved one.
