DEMYSTIFYING THE ROLE OF A SEX AND INTIMACY COACH
What Does a Sex and Intimacy Coach Do:

An open dialogue: Sex and intimacy coaches create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can discuss their sexual
concerns, desires, and goals without fear of judgment or ridicule. They promote open dialogue, active listening, and
empathy to enable clients to fully explore their unique experiences.

Education and Guidance: Sex and intimacy coaches offer clients comprehensive knowledge about sexual health, pleasure,
consent and communication relating to intimacy. Additionally, they can advise clients on techniques, practices and
exercises designed to deepen intimacy while developing an increased awareness of one's desires.

Goal Setting and Skill Development: Sex and intimacy coaches assist clients in setting realistic goals and developing the
necessary skills to meet them. They may focus on issues like improving communication with a partner, addressing sexual
difficulties or exploring alternative forms of sexual expression.

What a Sex and Intimacy Coach Doesn't Do:

Therapy or Diagnosis: Sexual and intimacy coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders or physiological
conditions, though if a client requires therapeutic assistance they may refer them to appropriate professionals.

Encourage Illegal Activities: Sex and intimacy coaches uphold ethical and
legal regulations when providing their services. We are not prostitutes.

Substitute for Medical Advice: Sex and intimacy coaches possess knowledge
about sexual health and will encourage you to seek medical advice when
required.

Sex and intimacy coaches play an invaluable role in supporting individuals
and couples on their path toward healthier sexual and intimate lives.
