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.

-Tiana T.

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.

A person embracing hope and healing after a breakup, symbolizing growth and new beginnings in love

You loved and loved hard only to realize it wasn't a good fit for you. The devastation of "getting it wrong" closes you off from trusting yourself and others again. Sometimes we have to get it wrong before we can get it right.

It's a scenario many of us can relate to. When we've invested our heart and soul into a relationship, only to realize it wasn't meant to be, it can leave us feeling shattered and wary of opening up again. The fear of repeating past mistakes, of once again investing our love in someone who may not be the right fit, can paralyze us, preventing us from fully embracing the potential for love and connection in our lives.

But here's the thing – letting past disappointments dictate our future can hold us back from the love and happiness we truly deserve. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves that it's okay to stumble along the way, to get it wrong before we find what's right for us.

Take Tiana, for example. She poured her heart into a relationship with someone she thought was the one, only to realize that they weren't compatible in the long run. It was a painful realization, one that left her feeling hesitant to open up to love again. But as time went on, Tiana realized that the lessons learned from that experience were invaluable. They taught her to trust her instincts, to recognize what she truly deserves in a partner, and to have faith that the right person will come along when the time is right.

Don't let past disappointments hold you back from the love you want. Stay open, embrace vulnerability, and allow yourself to learn and grow. Love is a wild and beautiful journey that can heal, inspire, and bring immense joy.

Imagine if you loved the wrong person that much, how incredible it could be with someone who is truly a fit for you. It's about keeping your heart open, letting love flow freely, and trusting that the right person will come along when the time is right.

In my experience as a sex, relationship, and intimacy coach, I've seen firsthand how the fear of loving the wrong person again can impact individuals. It's a tough road to navigate, but it's one that can lead to profound growth and transformation if we're willing to embrace it.

So, as you journey forward in your pursuit of love, remember to stay open to new possibilities, to embrace vulnerability, and to trust in the wisdom gained from past experiences. Love has the power to heal, to inspire, and to transform our lives in incredible ways – all we have to do is let it in.
