Hi, I’m Nathan
I facilitate safe, experiential, embodied sessions with individuals who want to experience their eroticism more deeply and connect with others more intimately. These sessions help individuals shed their shame, find real closeness with partners, and improve the quality of their intimacy and sexual encounters.
I am trained and certified with the International Professional Surrogates Association through a 100+ hour intensive training program + internship phase. This program taught me that intimacy can be built from the ground up, and that the processes I was learning in this training could be duplicated with others.
With years of experience in facilitating conversation, listening closely and synthesizing what I observe, hear and intuit, I have cultivated a capacity for creating a warm and inviting container to explore connection, vulnerability and real joy.
My background is in the visual arts and moderating focus groups. Several years ago, I realized that the most fulfilling moments in my life were spent with people who were exploring their depths and confronting their fears- working with them to overcome the barriers they encountered both internally and externally. In an effort to spend more of my time there, I pursued and earned a coaching certification from the ICF and have been working with individuals as they navigate challenges both personally and professionally. Throughout this process I recognized that many of the hurdles that I had to overcome throughout life were based in shame around sexuality and representing my true desires. Because I’ve had wonderful guides along the way, I wanted to use my skills to act as a signpost for others- pointing in the right direction as they pursue their own growth and evolution in this area. As I researched I found surrogate partner therapy and immediately understood that this was my calling.
Through trust, accountability, intimacy, and acceptance my clients learn that they have the capacity for real, authentic connection and that they not only have capacity for authentic feelings for others- that they too are worthy of love. This, as much as anything else we do in this model, is what evokes transformation and opens clients to possibilities beyond their expectations. It is this opening, this expansion, this awareness in others that makes my work so fulfilling.
I am based in Los Angeles and available to travel for intensives.
