...The Sex Education You NEVER Had

The Ignite Extraordinary Passion Couples Retreat

Playa del Carmen, Mexico 

February 14th – 18th, 2024

A couples retreat guaranteed to bring some hEAT!

You value and cherish your partner.

AND…

There’s chemistry, yet all roads are NOT leading to pleasure

You could communicate better.

You want to explore pleasure together.

You NEED  to discover a desire that lasts. 

Don't worry...I promise you it's still there.

Strengthen Intimacy Through Patience, Permission, and PLEASURE

The Difference Between This Retreat And Sex Therapy

No distractions, adulting obligations, or exhaustion from your daily grind to get in the way. This sexy escape and nurturing guidance gets you out of your head and back to yummy and erotic play.

I love providing sex therapy to my clients. I love deconstructing stubborn, hard-to-break, destructive paradigms surrounding sex, intimacy, and eroticism. I love giving couples new language and tools to rediscover their passion and ignite their love life. However, through all my work, I continue to come up against the realities of anxiety, fear, and shame that get tightly interwoven into our erotic identities. I listen compassionately as couples share the falls, fumbles, and at times, complete panic when tools discussed in session are put into practice in the privacy of their home. 

This retreat is the answer to that. Here, you’ll find a small intimate community of like-minded couples to help normalize the very TYPICAL challenges concerning sex and intimacy. You will give yourself the opportunity to settle into a sensual space with your partner. You will learn to approach eroticism with ease (and aligned with your relationship values). You will learn by seeing, listening, and doing the work without your daily interruptions. You have permission to fully indulge in playfulness and pleasure.

Is This Right For You?

Ignite Extraordinary Passion Couples Retreat is for couples who desire to find a safe and supported space to learn how to better talk about erotic needs, discover passion, and ignite a deeper desire within the relationship. This retreat caters to couples who want to stop “doing” sex and start experiencing ecstacy. 

Enjoy the benefits of eliminating distractions and prioritizing each other.

Experience new ways of creating permission, exploring desire, and embodying the fullness of pleasure in your relationship. 

Pleasure starts OUTSIDE Of The Bedroom

Clarify your intentions and feel into your body’s comforts and limits. 

 Improve communication and intimacy before, during, and outside of sex.

Explore consent, boundaries, pleasure, and control.

Welcome vulnerability in both emotional and erotic landscapes.

About Your Retreat Mentor

I am beyond excited to be your guide as you confront the shit in your life that no longer works. I don’t cringe at the parts that leave you paralyzed. Humaning can be really fucking hard! And yes, that’s a colorful word. It’s also the only word that fits at times. So I’ll say it for you.

 I’ll also admit I’m not for everyone. You absolutely should feel empowered to find the guide that is right for you. But if this ignited a spark, you are in the right place. I want to share everything I’ve used in my clinical work and more with you! Meaningful change doesn’t just happen in therapy. It’s time to stop merely surviving, dig into conversations that really matter, and start to thrive!

The boring stuff about me:

B.A. Psychology – Spelman College

M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling – Northwestern University

PsyD Clinical Psychology – University of  Denver

I’ve been studying this stuff for a long time, but it’s the day-to-day work with clients that really gives me my expertise. There’s only so much books can give you, but learning from clients for almost a decade brings that research to life!

Discover a more integrated relationship where boundaries, consent, accountability, safety, and trust flow fluidly in and out of the bedroom.
