ABOUT ME

---

I remember it well - my first therapy session in 1994. That day I discovered that I could actually change my ego-based belief systems that had developed from my childhood experiences. From that one session, I chose to dedicate my life to personal growth so that I could be free of my past beliefs, clear to what is real now, and manifest what I want in the future. 

After many years of individual and group therapy, participating in countless personal growth workshops in many forms, including relationship, psychic awareness, energy healing, Tantra, sensual kink play, leadership, men's work, spirituality, crystal healing, and more, I decided that I wanted to help others do the same. I worked hard become a Certified Professional Life Coach, a Certified Relationship Coach, a Certified Tantra Instructor, and Crystal Master. I have combined formal training with a long and eventful life of experience and learning to enable and support others to live  their lives authentically and fully.

As I evolved and connected with my strengths I discovered the amazing, mind, heart, and body opening experiences that are possible by including erotic restraint and sensation play into my relationships and sensuality. I was deeply connected and inspired by this art form in the 1990's and so I attended every workshop and training session that I could find. I had mentors and I studied kink practices incorporating bondage and sensation play using a wide variety of techniques. As these learnings paralleled with my own personal growth, over the decades I discovered that if I combined kink practices with Tantra practices, women would invariably have a deep, joyful, and profound experience of themselves unlike ever before. 

As my personal adventures and repertoire were blossoming, there was an incident in 1999 that inspired my current practice. I had met a particularly vivacious and expressive woman, who identified as a tough and controlling Dominitrix. The deep connection was apparent and she was inspired to surrender to me in our sexual play. She told me afterwards that I was the first man that she had ever trusted with her body and that she had never had such a profound, mind-body-spirit opening experience. She told me plainly, “Women need to know how to have this experience and women need you to teach men how to create it.” She was referring to how the Sacred Masculine can create the space for the Sacred Feminine to trust, open and experience their own Divine nature. That inspiring exchange occurred in 1999, and my professional healing practice was launched the following year under the banner of “Tantric Bondage – An Experience of Trust and Awakening.” After many more years of study and practice, I now refer to my practice as “Therapeutic Kink.”

My Therapeutic Kink practice that I have created is very important to me and I would go so far as to say it is my True-Life Purpose. I invite you to notice how your own intuitive self is responding to what I have described. If you have a sense of expansion or attraction, let's have a discussion about it. You have nothing to lose and a greater sense of self to gain. This might be the time for you to shine! 

My practice has been in its current form for over 20 years. As a person who is dedicated to my own path of awakening, I have attended and participated in a wide variety of courses, training and programs. In order to develop the tools and practices to best serve you, I have completed the following trainings and certifications:

• Certified Co-active Life Coach
• Certified Relationship Coach
• Certified Tantra Instructor
• Reiki Practitioner
• Trained in Therapeutic Kink
• Long-term Practitioner in Tantric Bondage

My Own Personal Philosophy

I believe that each one of us is whole and complete and that as we venture through life, there are distractions along the way that can cloud our knowing and take away from living our true essence. My life purpose is to support and guide people to discover themselves so that they can live life to its fullest potential. I believe I can contribute to this by helping individuals see that they are totally capable of having what they desire and to live in total truth and harmony with themselves, with each other, and with Spirit.
