CannaSexual®: Sex, Cannabis & Intentional Pleasure
CannaSexual® is where my work on sex and cannabis began.
My primary focus now is sex and relationship coaching for individuals and couples, especially in non-monogamous and lifestyle communities, but many people still find me through my CannaSexual® work and are looking for solid, shame-free information. This page is here for you.
If you are looking for support that is not cannabis specific, head to my Coaching and Online Classes pages. If you are curious about the intersection of cannabis, pleasure, and intimacy, keep reading.
What is CannaSexual®?
I created the word CannaSexual® to describe mindfully and deliberately combining sex and cannabis to deepen intimacy and enhance pleasure. The focus has always been on:
-
Using cannabis in intentional, consent-based ways
-
Supporting more ease, sensation, and presence during solo or partnered play
-
Enriching conversations and softening tension during difficult discussions
Cannabis does not have to make you feel “stoned” to be useful. Many people prefer topical or CBD-only products, such as creams, balms, sprays, and suppositories, that support comfort and arousal without intoxication.
If you have ever wanted to explore cannabis in a more conscious way to support your erotic life, CannaSexual® is the framework I created for that exploration.
How CannaSexual® fits into my work now
Today, my core offerings center on:
-
Sex and relationship coaching
-
Support for lifestyle and non-monogamous couples
-
Women’s sexual empowerment and pleasure education
-
Consulting for companies and projects that touch intimacy, desire, and consent
Cannabis is no longer the center of my business. It is one part of my background, my education, and my history as an educator.
I do not provide medical advice, dosing protocols, or legal guidance about cannabis.
If you would like broader support with your sex life, relationships, or communication, please visit my Coaching page for current ways to work with me.
