We don’t heal in silos. While seclusion can be part of your healing process, it won’t be complete without the co-regulation of others. Healing is both/and, not either/or. You have to be present for the relationships you want, both with self and in community with others. This presence practice is not only the skill of being in community, it is your erotic intelligence or the alchemy or work of creating a confident presence practice and empowered erotic embodiment.
Using the erotic as described by Audre Lorde and ancestral healing practices of energy work, breathwork, and guided meditation with trauma-responsive integrative framework, Healing the Erotic Self is an erospiritual coaching program that guides you with erosomatic healing practices offering a personal healing track and a professional development track for therapists, educators, counselors, coaches, and healing professionals.
HTES offers multi-week live and self-paced coaching groups, Sexuality & Somatics Professional Development Learning Series with queer-inclusive, pleasure-affirming somatic and erotic group coaching, guided meditation audios, wellness and erotic care practices and guidance.

Holding space is the practice of being present with the intention to be empathetic for another human being. Holding Space is one of the intentions of healing spaces, including this space.
