Trainings have included Polyamory, Consenual Non-monogamy, Kink/BDsM, Non-binary, and Sexual Anxiety

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 over 10 years of experience offering kink- and poly-affirming therapy. In working with clients in all kinds of relationships I strive to understand the dynamics in your relationships with curiosity and without judgement.

I have presented at poly and kink conferences and pursued significant outside training through reading, podcasts, lectures, webinars, CEUs, etc.

Involvement and understanding in kink community, experience working with kinky clients but not the bulk of my current client caseload.

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
