Welcome to Closeness
Your New Sexual Education
Thank you for taking the time to visit the Closeness website.
At Closeness, I specialize in facilitating ease with almost all sexual desires, confidence, skills, and intimacy both in and out of the bedroom. I demystify seduction, teach dating strategies (for long-term partners or new connections), ignite the flames of sexual desire, and help create genuine chemistry with your partner.
Through my work, countless couples have found a sense of empowerment and openness that leads to deeply connected, extraordinary intimacy. Closeness Coaching is a unique, experiential approach that enables swift, profound change, often beyond what is achievable through traditional talk therapy alone.
Client Agreement
The Small Print
It is your responsibility to determine whether this unique style of coaching is appropriate for your needs.
At Closeness, you have three options:
- Traditional talk-based guidance
- Suggestive, consensual, experiential interactions or somatic coaching
- A blended approach, which is the most popular option.
Interactive, touch-based coaching differs from other forms of therapy as it focuses on your connection to excitement, your partner, and yourself. This often includes observing or experiencing guided exercises.
The best results emerge from real-world interactions, rather than abstract discussions. All exercises are consensual, with clear explanations provided beforehand. You are encouraged to explore with your partner, yourself, and sometimes me—but always within your comfort zone.
This work does not require sexual activity. Instead, we focus on touch, closeness, intimacy, and connection in a safe, exploratory manner. You can pause, stop, or adjust at any time. Consent is paramount, and your comfort and autonomy are always respected.

Emergencies
In case of an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. For urgent matters, you may call 805-427-3162 during regular business hours. Non-urgent messages will be returned within 24-48 business hours.
Coaching Services
Sessions last 1-2 hours and may be extended for complex situations. Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are recommended initially. Coaching is voluntary, and you may terminate sessions after the first three. If I terminate sessions, I will attempt to provide referrals, though this is not guaranteed.
Your First Session
In the first few sessions, we will set goals and create a treatment plan. To maximize results, active participation both during and between sessions is essential. This may include engaging your partner, trying new practices, or reflecting on session content.

Fees will be agreed upon before services begin. Payment is due at the time of service and can be made via cash, ApplePay, Venmo, Bitcoin, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, or credit/debit card. Insurance is not accepted.
Late payments exceeding 90 days may be sent to collections.
