Virtual Coaching/Mentorship

When you choose to work with me via virtual coaching, you are committing to a CONTAINER where you will be deepening into relationship with your own BODY...and devoting time to SOMATIC PRACTICES to explore unresolved survival physiology and patterns around shame, collapse, overwhelm, suppression and defense mechanisms that keep you from a deeper, more pleasure-filled life. Pleasure is a PRACTICE in presence, attunement and connection. And remember, PLEASURE IS NOT FRIVOLOUS! It is the creative, generative life force that fuels EVERYTHING we do!
During our time together, it is my commitment to craft a safe, supportive and intentional space for judgment-free conversation, deep inner work and somatic exploration. The overarching theme for our work together is about MAPPING & TRACKING.

​Elements of Support Include:
  • Zoom sessions curated to your needs
  • At-home somatic practices for embodied learning
  • Private coaching portal for customized learning resources and ongoing messaging support
  • Receive the sex and pleasure education you never received by embodying accurate information about the inter-relationship between pleasure anatomy and neurobiology.​

Bring Back the Connection, Intimacy and Passion!

Often, when couples initially connect, sex is passionate, frequent and hot. It is natural for our sexual connections to shift and change, to ebb and flow. Sometimes, however, this natural contraction and expansion of sexual flow between lovers becomes stuck. Sex can be problematic. Even the most connected couples experience sexual challenges at some point in their relationship!

Once the chemical high of a new sex relationship has deepened into the more sustainable love relationship, we can expect sex to change. If a partner has a difficult sexual past, a new partner can offset problematic sexual responses, for a while. But after time, these patterns have a tendency to return. Also, couples can become entrenched in patterns of disconnect or resentment, or even just patterns of turn-on and sexual expression.

Even in functional relationships, sex and intimacy change over time. Life changes such as stress, illness, becoming parents, moving, work-related stress, ailing parents, can change how we express our sexuality in partnership. If cycles of blame or denial or withholding of love and intimacy are happening, sex becomes weaponized. There is a chasm that occurs within the relationship that becomes hard to span. If a couple gets blocked around sex, it can be really challenging to talk about the discomfort or unhappiness you are feeling in your intimate partnership. 

Here's where a Sex & Intimacy Coach can really facilitate a transition back to expanded erotic possibilities and sexual satisfaction for each partner. In my practice, I offer tools, exercises and  support for couples to honestly face the issues they have, and move gently away from sexual blocks, towards greater pleasure and connection.

Sex & Intimacy Coaching - For Men, Women & Couples

Some Areas of Exploration:
  • Exploring and playing with communicating your desires and fantasies
  • Healing from past trauma or boundary violations; free from shame
  • How to discover your authentic sexual desire/Erotic Blueprint™
  • Learning to clearly define your "yes's" and your "no's", and to communicate them
  • How to talk to your partner about what you really want
  • Deepening your connection within a long-term relationship
  • Bringing sensual kink and playful power dynamics into the bedroom
  • Overcome sexual concerns such as painful sex, low libido, ED, PE, etc.
  • If you are single, how to get back out into the dating world again, knowing what you want, and how to ask for..and receive it!

Key Concepts of Our Work Together:

  • Through deep listening, compassionate self-inquiry, mindfully guided self-study and body-centered exploration, these sessions and practices support liberation from the verbal and non-verbal messages from family, community and society that have made their impact on sexuality experience and expression.
  • When we explore sociocultural impact at the body level, we unravel the dynamics that either obscure or enrich our actual, in-the-moment experience of our sexual selves. Cultivate the capacity to re-inhabit your body and your pleasure.
  • Unravel and reintegrate the effects of past abuse, traumas, overwhelming experiences and neglect.
  • The foundation of our work together is greatly influenced by Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent.
  • We begin with safety and your ability to remain present in your body. What imprints and protective/defense mechanisms keep you from living into your fullest expression? (Which includes your sexuality!)
  • What small, courageous steps can you take to open to ease, joy and shameless celebration of your erotic nature? 
  • Get out of your head and learn to notice, trust, value and communicate the wisdom of your body - your desires, your limits/boundaries, and what expressions of aliveness are most meaningful to you!
  • Explore, experiment with and discover your Erotic Blueprint™, and that of your partner or future partner.
  • Learn to notice, trust, value and communicate the wisdom of your body - your desires, your limits/boundaries, and what expressions of aliveness are most meaningful to you!
  • Grow beyond chasing the kind of orgasm that is little more than a release of tension, and tap into expanded states of "orgasmicity" that are authentic to where EACH of you are, moment to moment.
  • Explore the power of polarity within yourself, and the dynamics of polarity with a partner.
  • ​Learn how to navigate the power dynamics and sensations of Conscious Kink Play!​​​​
  • Ask me about your VIRTUAL IMMERSION DAY!

How does this differ from therapy?

While therapy utilizes a "top-down" treatment model to identify and diagnose dysfunction, I work "bottom-up; which means my work with you is body-based and informed by the neurobiology of the nervous system. Through somatic practices and processes, I guide you in learning to embody a sense of safety that you may have never developed in your early life, by finding  deeper connection and trust in your own body, versus a therapy model of talking about past narratives and stories. Working in this way helps you to increase emotional awareness and your capacity to feel, receive and give pleasure physically and emotionally, and co-create relationships based on compassion, empathy, trust, embodied consent, integrity and true acceptance.
Transformation is based on the cultivation, practice and repetition of new choices over a period of time. You are provided with learning resources, embodied homework and practice sessions that will support you in rewiring your nervous system into new habits of safety, presence, pleasure and being able to track and communicate what is arising, moment-to-moment. Learn to honor and speak your truth from a place of self-love, self-acceptance and self-discovery to create a whole new landscape of erotic possibility!

​Virtual coaching sessions provide you with a practice space to safely talk about sex, ask questions you’ve never asked before, and get coaching help where you feel stuck or frozen because of shame or sex-negative conditioning from family, religion, or social conditioning. Because I work somatically, I will help you notice what is happening in your body and ask you questions to help you bring into your awareness what may be unconscious, so you may integrate what has been unresolved, and relax instead into more ease, pleasure and joy.

​Together we come up with homework; small, doable pieces you can do yourself or with your partner that support self-discovery, empathy, and expanding your communication and touch skills. You may be practicing finding arousal in a new way, talking about sex out loud in ways you’ve never dared before, or breathing and grounding as ways of letting go of performance anxiety, fear, or resentment when they come up. All of this means you are cultivating and actively co-creating the kind of satisfying, playful, truly present sexual experiences you actually want, with the one(s) you love most ~ including yourself, if you are single!

In a nutshell, I approach trauma (None of us are untouched by past overwhelming experiences!) and sexuality (We are ALL sexual/creative beings!) through the lens of psycho-neurobiology, spirituality...and the science of pleasure, arousal, and sexuality. The KEY will be the somatic practices that you will be doing throughout our work together! This is Nervous System Work ~ Safety > Attunement > Polarity = Deeper Connection & Greater Sexual Satisfaction!

WORKING WITH COUPLES - Communicate Your Desires

I help couples enhance and expand their sexual expression in order to have sustained and long-lasting desire for sex and intimate connection.

A good place to start can be, "What is your definition of "sex" and why is it important to 'you' and to 'us'?
​
I help you gain the necessary communication skills to express yourself and receive the other's expression as you dive into the realms of sensation, fantasy, and passionate connection to create an exciting and multi-faceted sexual relationship between you and your partner. Learn to: ​Notice, Trust, Value & Communicate What You Want!
There are many ways to explore sex and make it more hot, passionate, romantic, physically stimulating and psychologically arousing. In order to start exploring all of the different ways you might expand, it is helpful to have a map to understand the different realms in which it is possible to play. I love to help individuals and couples identify, explore and expand in the various realms of sexual expression to create long-term excitement and sexual satisfaction. ​As a couple, you will be guided through exercises for you to practice and explore needs, desires and boundaries.

About Connie Eberhart:

As a trauma-trained Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker and Sex+Intimacy Coach with a full-time practice since 2016, I have worked with several hundreds of individuals and couples, both virtually and in-person. Much of my work centers on the framework of The Erotic Blueprints™ (I began my private mentorship with Jaiya in 2013, and am currently one of only three of her Master Trainer/Lead Coaches), which is a rich framework for expanding and understanding your definition of what "sex" is, that you are not broken or wrong in any way; and that, in fact, your desires are fundamentally natural and good!
