“Before I started this program… I felt wounded, broken, hurt, and lost. I was not getting my needs met. In fact, I didn't even know what my sexual needs were. I grew up having my body-shamed by other people and my sexuality repressed. I was also dealing with trying to heal from multiple sexual traumas throughout my life and yet continued to be triggered by them.
My partner and I felt emotionally shredded from therapy so we quit marriage counseling and instead focused on new experiences, one of which was hiring Jessie as our Intimacy Coach. We knew we needed someone that was energetically aware, sensitive, fun, had a good sense of humor, and exhibited great empathy.
We dove into the Coaching Course where I spent most of my energy in healing long-held shadow aspects of my sexual self. I learned to explore my body, work through feelings of shame, trauma, and resistance, and opened myself up to my partner's desires that previously brought up fear and trigger. I worked to find pleasure in those desires and reclaim my sexuality, which I felt, had been taken away from me by force and shamed out of me when I was young.
Now I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my relationship. I’m more sexually satisfied than I ever thought possible. This has had major ripple effects on my own personal healing journey, my marriage of 17 years, my family life, my health, and my well-being. I feel more confident than ever and am better able to identify and communicate my feelings and needs with my partner. I own and celebrate my sexuality, sensuality, vitality, creativity, and happiness now. I feel less stressed out and more at ease in my skin than I ever have before.
The way Jessie showed up, allowed me to let down my high defense systems. I couldn’t be defensive with her. That safety made everything accessible. I dealt with so much shame and internalized stories and she normalized it. Things I was terrified of before, those fears melted away. Before this process, I’d always try to break through my body's ability to engage in sex, I thought my mind could outsmart my body, but the fear of danger in my body from past traumas always won. I’ve never felt this safe in my body. Now I feel safer than ever. My husband and I are able to engage in kink play and I feel completely safe. Feelings of tightness and having to protect myself are healed. I’m able to let go and trust my partner completely. This healed so much of the sexual trauma that I felt constantly before."
