I am poly and I specialize in opening up a relationship, solo poly, poly and children, relationship anarchy, and consent.

I am a nationally-recognized expert in kink and consensual non-monogamy, as well as an active researcher, author, and clinical trainer in the field.

One of the most well known practitioners in the area for those in alternative lifestyles, my practice has been almost solely with this population for over a decade.

I have worked with poly clients and work with the LGBTQ+ community.

Hello there! I am Erin Wallis, I use she/her/hers as pronouns. Please tell me yours(: I am an integrative health specialist and clinical sexologist. My passion is to bring awareness to all things within the realm of human health & sexuality. On the spectrum of human sexuality, my work includes advocacy, counseling, coaching, educating, & empowering survivors, those in the LGBTQ+ community, KAP-Kink Aware Professional, alternative sexualities(kink/bdsm), relationship counseling, and sex education. As an integrative life coach I help guide people that are confused on what to do in their lives, support goal-setting, personal growth, and behavior modification of clients. I will walk with you on your journey to achieve goals by introducing different actions necessary to take control of future plans.

As the owner of Sanctuary Repose, I have lived experience as a person involved with kink and polyamory, and I have also experienced first hand the damage done to myself and others via professionals who view these lifestyles and identities in a skewed, discriminatory, or ignorant lens. This practice is a safe space to be authentically you. It is normal for clients to discuss their everyday lives, including their significant others, as they lie on our treatment tables. For those with non-monogamous relationship structures, it can feel very difficult to speak about normal, everyday occurrences without feeling ostracized or judged, but we hear you here. We don't offer couples, throuples, or polycule massage because we do not have enough staff to provide services at once. However, we would love to schedule back to back services for you, your partners, and metamours, or offer relaxing day-retreats for up to 8 individuals to allow polyamorous people a safe place to relax and receive therapeutic treatments. We understand that kink is oftentimes not related to trauma at all, but for the individuals who do use it as a form of trauma-healing, we hold safe space to express your paths to recovery without judgment. Regardless of how you've found your interests in kink, we know what expressions of kink can look like on the body, and we embrace your autonomy to consent to your own choosing of activities without concern of invasive questioning or reporting. Stay safe, have fun, and keep being yourself. We welcome you just as you are. -Jonathan
