Working with Priya has been a transformative experience unlike any other. For years, I carried the weight of shame and secrecy from childhood abuse as well as infidelity in my marriage. The emotional distance between my husband and I was large and continuing to grow. Our entire relationship was fueled by years of resentment and unspoken truths.

On the surface, we appeared to be the epitome of a power couple, but behind closed doors, our relationship was far from it. Priya provided a safe haven for me to confront my deepest fears and insecurities. With her compassionate guidance, I navigated through layers of shame and guilt, unraveling the tangled web of lies I had woven.

Through techniques I learned with her in The Relationship Lab, I learned to reconnect with my true self and embrace vulnerability as a source of strength.I went down a path of self-discovery with Priya that unearthed newfound depths within myself and cultivated a newfound ability to communicate authentically. Priya's unwavering support empowered me to confront the truth and rebuild trust in my marriage.

Today, my husband and I are on a path of healing and renewal, forging a deeper connection rooted in honesty and transparency. I'm eternally grateful to Priya for guiding me through this process of growth and self-liberation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can my sex life become more engaged and pleasurable?

Yes, working with Priya you can explore your fantasies, sexual edge, and grow in self-awareness of your arousal.  Maybe you want to negotiate kinky play with your partner. Or, perhaps you feel ashamed of a fantasy that you run in your head.  Whatever you are thinking or wanting, we can work together to find the perfect way for you to negotiate getting it put in the world. 

What if I have Vaginal Pain or Erectile Dysfunction? Can you help?

Priya has helped people with all sorts of physical limitations and sexual dysfunctions find experiences and pleasure that create a thriving sex life.  Her clients have found both improvement and healing after working with Priya within 3-6 months.  What ends up surprising these clients most is how once they learn to listen to their body’s language they can utilize it as a powerful tool to explore. 

Do you take insurance?

No, Priya is not a therapist but is a certified sex,relationship, and intimacy coach.  As a coach she acts as a practice partner to help you create the relationships you want in your life.  Working with a sex therapist is very different from working with a Somatica Coach.  Somatica is a practical, hands on and experiential modality where you gain the tools and confidence you need.   What makes this different from therapy is the real life practice you get that helps you make changes rapidly. Coaching and traditional talk therapy are two very different modalities. My role as a coach is to help you get what you want around your unique needs and what you desire in life.  

What is the Somatica Method?

The Somatica Method is an experiential holistic sex and relationship coaching method that combines talk-based coaching WITH more experiential, hands-on practices that help you learn the techniques for drawing deeper mind-body connections to yourself and others that lends itself to intimacy, connection, and relating. Clients enter a “lab” with me where we can experiment with trying on concepts with practices on topics like attachment, identity, core desires, boundaries, repair, communication, attunement, vulnerable sharing, arousal and connection.

What do you mean it’s experiential?

What makes the Somatica Method unique is the use of the self in the coaching relationship.  I don’t just talk about it with you. We practice concepts within the coaching relationship.  I help clients explore connecting to their whole body, pleasure, desire, attachment + individuation, empathy, tuning to others, navigating life transitions, shame, core desires and full erotic self-expression.  We practice together and then when you have it down you then integrate these experiences into your everyday lives and relationships.

What can I expect in a coaching session?

My coaching style is very client-centric with an emphasis on what you want for yourself and your life.  I will always leave space to address what is happening in your current life while giving you education and practices on concepts for your healing, growth, and transformation.  Empathy and connection are the driving forces behind my practice.  I will walk alongside you as you move through and grow.

Who is sex, relationship, and intimacy coaching for?

Single, Married, Dating, Poly, Open, Gay, Straight, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, folks- anyone who is looking to grow in their own self-awareness and to be in a relationship with others is welcome into “the Lab” with Priya.  She helps people who want to gain communication mastery to navigate needs, boundaries and conflict.  In addition, she specializes in helping people recovery from relational trauma such as sexual abuse, abandonment, neglect and betrayal. Priya works with her clients to curate a program for their individual needs. 

Do you have Sex with your clients?

If clients choose to explore, they can engage in a number of experiential practices with Priya that explore desire and arousal staying in the boundaries of the Somatica Method.  She does not engage with clients in the act of oral or penetrative sex, genital touch or with lip kissing.  When in sessions clothing is kept. Both of you will share your individual boundaries. 

Can my sex life become more engaged and pleasurable?

Yes, working with Priya you can explore your fantasies, sexual edge, and grow in self-awareness of your arousal.  Maybe you want to negotiate kinky play with your partner. Or, perhaps you feel ashamed of a fantasy that you run in your head.  Whatever you are thinking or wanting, we can work together to find the perfect way for you to negotiate getting it put in the world.

When Misunderstandings take the wheel

Couples staying together.

Misunderstandings – we've all been there, right? Those moments when we find ourselves caught in a web of assumptions and projections, unable to see beyond our own perspectives. It's like a boxing match between our minds, each punch fueled by misinterpretation and mistrust.

Take, for example, the classic scenario between men and women. He might assume she's about to burst into tears, while she's convinced he's being cold and distant. Sound familiar? It's like we're reading from different scripts, each of us playing the wrong role in a never-ending drama.

But here's the kicker: behind every assumption lies a deeper truth. Maybe she's feeling lost for words, struggling to articulate her emotions. Or perhaps he's overwhelmed, unable to express himself in a way that feels safe and authentic.

Instead of approaching these moments with curiosity and understanding, we often fall into the trap of judgment and blame. And that's where the vicious cycle begins – the cycle of conflict, mistrust, and emotional disconnection.

You see, without understanding each other, trust becomes elusive. And without trust, we can never truly love each other with the fullness of our hearts.


It's time to break free from the shackles of misunderstanding and embrace a new way of relating. It's time to recognize that how we interpret each other's actions is often based on learned stereotypes and societal norms – not on the truth of who we are as individuals.

As a sex and relationships coach, I've made it my mission to help couples navigate these treacherous waters and find their way back to each other. Because here's the thing: when we seek to understand ourselves and our partners on a deeper level, magic happens.

By creating a safe space for vulnerability and honest communication, we can break down the walls that separate us and build bridges of connection and intimacy. It's about letting go of judgment and embracing curiosity, even when it feels uncomfortable or scary.

Because here's the truth: intimacy thrives in the space between understanding and acceptance. It's in those moments of raw honesty and vulnerability that we find the true essence of love – a love that transcends assumptions and projections, and embraces us for who we are, flaws and all.

So, the next time you find yourself caught in the web of misunderstanding, take a deep breath and remember: beneath the surface lies the potential for deeper connection and intimacy. By seeking to understand yourself and your partner, you can break free from the cycle of conflict and rediscover the joy of true intimacy in your relationship.
