For a long time, I believed that sexuality meant being sexual with someone. I was never taught that pleasure and desire were good and normal to experience, and you didn’t need to give that much of yourself in order to be loved.

We can rewire our brains using tools like visualization, meditation, positive thoughts, experiences, and prayers to trigger and activate different genes in our bodies.

Many clients will thank me for their healing, and while I am grateful for their appreciation, they must understand that they did all of the heavy lifting. They were the ones that made an effort to show up for themselves. I can provide a safe and nurturing experience for my clients, but ultimately, they have to want this for themselves consciously. So many obstacles stand in their way, from finances to a lack of support, shame, guilt, and little to no self-worth. Saying yes to ourselves and accepting responsibility to care for ourselves the same as we care for our loved ones is a radical decision, and it takes so much courage and strength.
