About Sarah
I am a sexual empowerment coach and researcher. I coach people who longs for when sex was fun, but do not want to disrupt the life they’ve built.
I grew up as the “good girl” who wanted to do the right thing. My mother taught sex ed and emphasized sex as part of a healthy relationship. Yet at the same time, I absorbed messages that I should save sex for serious and committed partnerships. Ever the overachiever, I married my first boyfriend, the only person I had ever slept with.
My life since then has been a gradual uncovering of what I truly want, separating that from what I was taught. I didn’t think I could be satisfied unless my husband changed. I had no boundaries; I thought I needed to manage his emotions, and that a strong partnership meant that he would effectively manage mine. As a result, I gave up control over my own happiness. Today I am more self-aware, authentic, and at peace. He and I are good friends and amazing co-parents, and I am in a much healthier relationship.
I bring 30 years of personal and professional experience to this work. My training in the Somatica® method of sex and relationship coaching has given me proven tools to help you move beyond old patterns into interactions in line with who you are. I also trained in the Positive Intelligence method, which I integrate to help strengthen personal resilience, reduce triggered responses, and help you show up with more presence for yourself and those you care about. Before becoming a full-time coach, I held leadership positions in global mission-driven organizations, in which I helped people strengthen communication, navigate differences, and grow into their own confidence.
I believe in evidence-based methods that I write about on my Substack. My work draws on my personal knowledge of what hundreds of people have actually done, what is common yet hidden, and what my own research has taught me about improving sex.
I live in Brooklyn with my partner, our blended family, and our overly entitled 7-lb. dog.
