Meet Alissa
Over the years, I’ve become deeply curious about how unresolved trauma has kept me disconnected from my body, my pleasure, and my capacity to be fully present in life.
In 2022, I was diagnosed with a complex pelvic issue. The healing process pulled me into a profound inquiry around my relationship with my body and pleasure.
That journey is still unfolding, and I imagine it always will be. It’s led me into an ongoing exploration of eroticism, sexuality, and embodiment…an exploration that’s been as confronting as it is fulfilling.
Eventually, I found myself at the Institute of Somatic Sexology, where I trained under its founders, Deej and Uma. It was there that I realized I wanted to guide others in unlocking their own capacity for pleasure and returning safely to their bodies.
I want you to know that your curiosity about sex, eroticism, and pleasure matters. And I’d be honored to support you in that exploration.

My Approach
My work blends Somatic Sexology, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and nervous system regulation. Together, these practices support you in reconnecting with your body, undoing unhelpful beliefs that limit your sexual and emotional growth, and expanding your capacity for pleasure and connection.
I guide women who feel disconnected, numb, or performative in their sexuality to rediscover safety, authenticity, and aliveness in their bodies. Our sessions are a collaborative process — we move at a pace that feels supportive and attuned to where you are.
Between sessions, I often invite home-play — gentle explorations or somatic practices to help you deepen your connection with your body in your own time. These practices are always optional and tailored to your unique process. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, only what feels right for you.
