Gigi Engle, certified sex educator and award-winning author, has the best answer to this question:

“Sex coaching generally focuses on helping you get the sex life you want. It helps you feel sexually empowered, confident in your body, and confident in yourself. It addresses a series of different concerns around sexuality including fear of intimacy, the sex education you may have missed, improvements in your sex life, and holistic sexual wellness - all through a sex-positive lens. It might be a therapeutic process, but it’s not therapy.

Sex therapy is done with a person trained in psychotherapy, specializing in sexual concerns. This is not simple. It goes beyond “What G-Spot wand is best?” and involves talking about and exploring your experiences (both past and present) to help you get a better understanding of what is happening in your sex life and the reasons why.”

My coaching methodology uses multiple approaches of talk and reflective processes, intentional sensual self-pleasuring and masturbation practices, meditation, and using sound, breath, and movements. You will work in weekly session with me as well as with daily practices at home. All with the aim to understand what lies behind your desires and help you learn how to regulate your nervous system as you rewire yourself towards new narratives, patterns and habits — creating a conducive environment for lasting change.

Thank you for asking :) The answer is: no, it does not.

Coaching is not a substitute for working with a licensed therapist/trauma specialist. While my coaching acknowledges and honors the possibility of trauma exposure (trauma-informed), it does not lead with, diagnose or treat trauma response.

If you’re in crisis, please immediately contact your local emergency hotlines.

Nope. Zero nudity, unwanted exposure, guided sexual touch, flirtation, shaming, or moral judgments.

All weekly sessions would be done online via Zoom video. All process will be explained beforehand for your consent and only proceed with your consent at any given time. You’re encouraged to let me know your level of comfort, tell me to pause or stop altogether at any given time.

While always fully clothed, we will be engaging in emotionally revealing conversations, methods involving role-play with me and yourself, and breath and physical movements. It’s key that I’m able to witness you during these process to be able to support you accordingly.

Demos involving body parts and genitals will be done by showing image and videos by models. Feel free to ask me about any specific concerns.

Due to the nature of the subject, experiencing moments of arousal is absolutely natural and common. These are informative moments and you’re most encouraged to tell me so they can inform our sessions. Feel free to ask me about any specific concerns.



• Introduction: After short greetings, I'll give a brief introduction of what the session would be like: processes, boundaries, and support available. (NO nudity, guided sexual touch, flirtation)

• Consent: You are encouraged to ask any question that would support you to make an informed consent on whether to proceed with the session.

• Desire-based: If consent is given, we'll proceed with a celebration and exploration of your specific desires for this program.

• Practices: If needed, the process may involved gentle nose breathing, visualization, and mindful meditation of physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions.

• Inquiry: I'll also be asking specific questions so that I could ascertain whether my programs and scope could offer you the best support possible.

• Bespoke offering: If I'm reasonably certain, I would offer you a draft description of how a bespoke process for you would be like within the program, including the logistics, time and energy investment.

• Grill me: You are most encouraged to ask as many questions as possible, express any doubts and/or concerns that you may have. (This is a very wise move before any investment).

• Money talk: I'm happy to discuss anything involving money and my business practices - transparency supports consent- and decision-making, plus joyful responsibility. Ask away!

• You do YOU: You’re most welcomed to make a decision and payment during this session. You’re just as welcomed to take your time and decide later until you feel it's the right time.

• The Essentials: Your sense of clarity, safety, trust, and slight nervous-excitement are valuable information for decision-making. Your being in an economically and healthily viable situation for a 12-week coaching program is essential to your well-being and the effectiveness of the work you'd be putting in. YOU are the #1 priority.
