Life Coaches

It can be challenging enough making the decision to get counseling. Finding someone who understands and accepts BDSM, kink, polyamory, LGBTQ, and alternative spiritualities shouldn't have to be a factor.Having sexual fetishes and engaging in a relationship with power exchange are healthy expressions of one's sexuality. Yet, during an intake session with a therapist, one often ends up spending the entire session explaining what being gender fluid or polyamorus means instead of focusing on what the problem is. It can be very frustrating and intimidating. People with alternative lifestyles fear being "outted" to family or employers. How does one know that their new therapist understands the difference between the Master/slave dynamic and domestic violence? How can they as parents feel reassured that their therapist isn't going to automatically consider their kink or religion grounds for a child abuse report? Whether you are seeking help for issues relating to alternative style choices or you're just seeking a therapist that provides a non-judgemental and educated perspective, a lifestyle aware counselor can provide you with compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive services.

Connect with a powerful ally, whose mission is to help you to live in abundance, passion, and purpose.We all need to grow and contribute. Sometimes though, our growth stalls, and we become stuck. At those times, it might feel like we are living without purpose, without contributing to something beyond ourselves. We feel the pain of reliving the same patterns over and over again. Change is possible, for anyone, at any time. It's our birthright. Perhaps you've read books about self-help, dabbled here and there in some efforts to make your life better. Yet the growth seems to come in short bursts, and these changes seldom last. Then we are left feeling frustrated, back with that old familiar story: "Change is too hard; I just can't do it."Changing alone is a difficult and lonely road. But profound change is not only possible but can also be exciting and fun. There is an easier, more effective way to become the person you want to be, a person who creates and sustains all the love, spirit and abundance you deserve.What is this faster way? Choose an ally. Someone whose mission is to help you get the most out of your life.I want to be your ally. I want you to be happier and more fulfilled than you already are. That is my passion.

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } I am primarily a life coach whose goal is to help people. I love to work on goal setting working with individuals or groups to find and live their passion and creatively problem solve. I am a skilled facilitator and enjoy helping others along on their path. When working with businesses and non-profits I help them to align their mission and message as well as making sure that actions are based on core values. I am able to allow individuals to communicate from their heart the place where they are the the most authentically themselves. I also lead and teach guided meditation channel and do healing work which can be supplemented with the use of crystals and essential oils.

I am a kink and lifestyle knowledgable practitioner of Reiki, life coaching, chakra balancing, Tarot reading, and more in the Central New York region. Many of my services can also be done by phone, video chat, and/or email, so distance appointments are possible! After suffering the worst trauma of my life, I went on a spiritual journey and found some new talents. Being a community leader, I heard from many of my friends that there was a struggle to find kink and poly friendly providers in the area, and suddenly I found my true calling. Pulling from my newly grown intuitive skills, my recently acquired Reiki certification, my educational background in psychology, and my work experience in counseling and also in the law, I decided to begin a practice providing a variety of services to both those in and out of the lifestyle, but with an emphasis on my lifestyle knowledge and experience. If you are interested in any of my services or have any questions, please message me! I look forward to talking to you!

As a former political animal turned writer, independent researcher, media personality, and healer, I have witnessed the depths of human behavior for the better part of 35 years. Because I had a very early introduction to politics, I got a head start on dissecting the how's and why's of people's decision making processes. The adages "politics makes strange bedfellows" and "politics is sexy" are absolutely true, if one knows where to look. That was something I became very adept at early on, which left me with the unique ability to not only listen to what people have to say, but also catch the subtle cues that would tell me what they were trying to hide. Couple that with the fact that I have been well-acquainted with "kink" for my entire adult life, and I am able to offer guidance without judgement on intimate matters. Now, I choose to use those skills and experience to help people find a path to a positive lifestyle, and healthy attitudes about sex and relationships. Admittedly, politics is an addiction in itself, so I also continue to work on research and writing focused on public policy and laws on sex and relationships.
