Who is the work of Erotic Wholeness for?
While Erotic Wholeness truly is for everyone, at this time my private clients are primarily women and non-binary folks who were assigned female at birth who seek this work either individually or alongside their partner(s).
I work with straight and queer folks alike, those who are single and those who are partnered, those with children and those who are child-free.
I’ve supported people in their 20s to their 70s, and the majority of my clients are between their late 30s and late 50s.
All races and other intersections of identity are warmly welcome. For those with differing physical abilities, I welcome the chance to have a candid and compassionate conversation to determine if I am the best possible practitioner to support your particular needs.
It is always an honor to be trusted to support people of marginalized identities different from my own.
With that said, as a cis-gendered, able bodied, white woman, while I endeavor to be as culturally sensitive and aware as possible, there are of course experiences I cannot relate to directly and biases that I carry.
My commitment is to be accountable and approachable to all whom I serve and support.

First we identify your intentions for this exploration, while establishing trust and a nurturing rapport. From there we delve into the frustrations and blocks standing between you and your thriving. As we uncover the issues that you seek to transform in your intimate life, you’ll be given reflections and practices to support meaningful change. Guidance may include breath, visualization, movement and touch in addition to conversational components. My role is to act as the secure anchor to guide you through your journey.

Bodywork sessions include both an educational and experiential component designed around the client’s goals and intentions. In a bodywork session, the client may be unclothed and have their genitals touched or stimulated. However, there is absolutely no expectation or obligation to engage in this way. All activities only unfold when informed, enthusiastic and ongoing consent is given by the client. Sessions are rooted in steadfast standards of integrity and professionalism to provide you with safety and confidence. Together, you and I explore at a pace that is gentle enough for you to stay present, and advanced enough to foster growth within the process.
are clients expected to be naked during sessions?
No disrobing is required for coaching sessions. Clients may choose to be naked for bodywork sessions. All bodywork sessions are in line with a code of ethics that Darshana follows as Certified Sexological Bodyworker.
