Have you ever wondered what leads to amazing intimacy with your partner, particularly once the excitement of a new relationship wears off?

Magazine articles would have us believe it’s all about crazy variations in positions, novel toys, and getting creative about where we get sexy. We’re fans of all of those things, if they work for you. Amazing intimacy, however, is possible without them. Regardless of where you are, how your body is positioned and whether or not you’re working with more than nature gave you, great sex is possible. At this workshop, we’ll explore a concept that is key to unlocking and understanding what really turns you on.

* This workshop will include a couple of mindfulness/visualization exercises. It’s recommended that you find a place in your home from which to join the workshop that is quiet and where you can be relatively undisturbed.

Gretchen Shanks, certified in the Somatica Method of sex and relationship coaching, helps people find greater joy in dating and intimacy.

Up until her early 40s, Gretchen struggled with dating, had only had sex a handful of times, and felt undesirable and unattractive. Years of talk therapy couldn’t shift the beliefs she had about herself. Then she got help from an intimacy coach and somatic body worker. She reset her body image issues, learned to confidently tap into her sexy side, and to approach dating, sex and all of her relationships with greater ease and enjoyment. Now she gets great satisfaction helping others untangle the knots of socialization, shame, and uncertainty so they can embrace and embody their erotic self and have the kind of sex and relationships they’ve always wanted. Regardless of what your relationship goal is (monogamous marriage, polyamory, a single life with lots of dating fun, or anywhere in between), Gretchen is excited to help you get there!

Gretchen is based in Seattle, Washington and is available for in-person or virtual sessions via Zoom video. She can be found at www.gretchenshanks.com.
