2019 Update: Changes
As a human sexuality professional, I’ve done a certain amount of “shapeshifting” in my career. I’ve tended to reject “branding” in favor of following my heart and interests, and these have led me to some interesting terrain in terms of human sexuality and hypnosis.
And I’ve realized that much as I like client work, I like creating and teaching adult sexual enrichment programs (such as erotic hypnosis and tantra) and consultation (problem solving vs. counseling) even better. I realize I prefer to establish rapport and work with people who have known me first as an sexuality and hypnosis educator, then as a counselor.
And so, I’m making some changes:
Private Practice and Classes
• I’ll be focusing on education programs, in person and online. I’ll be updating the older ones and creating new offerings.
• I will take on a limited number of new counseling clients, but only if they’ve been students of mine first, either online or in person.
Example: Secrets of Successful Partners course, then counseling.
Example: Beginning Erotic Hypnosis workshop, then counseling.
Example: Hypnosis at Home class, then counseling.
• This year, 2019, I’ll also be focusing on updating my professional training programs at Intimate Hypnosis Training Center as well as finishing my book on erotic hypnosis.
Outreach
• I’ll be reaching out to neopagan people and communities to offer sexological perspectives and education in the context of those communities.
• I’ll be creating programs and reaching out to disadvantaged people here in Lake County, especially people who are aging and/or LGBTQIA etc.
Wait, There’s More!
My approach has always been eclectic but 2019 has also brought a spiritual challenge. For the last several years I’ve been immersed in polytheistic neopagan spiritual practices and magical studies, including; animism, inclusive (progressive) Norse and Celtic traditions; other earth-based and neopagan traditions; and tantra. I have long felt a desire and need to incorporate this spiritual orientation and related intuitive arts into my professional life.
Now I’m ready to bring this side of myself into the open and “own” it as part of my interest in human sexuality and hypnosis. This new energy and material will most likely bring some changes to some of my educational programs and my work with students/clients. I don’t have all the answers yet, but this shift in perspective and purpose feels right.
