Debbie describes her unique approach to empowering women to take ownership of their sexuality and their romantic relationships while affirming men. Her focus and expertise is in supporting Cis gender women in heteronormative relationships.

  • Debbie is a romantic and focuses on the physical bond in relationships which she points out is the one thing we can’t get from ourselves
  • She acknowledges that her work does not address the spectrum of gender and sexuality because that is not her expertise and experience, but she instead focuses on heterosexual relationships and female identifying intimacy and sexuality coaching
  • Debbie lays out some of the ways that her work helps women identifying people to become present, embodied and out of task mode for love making
  • She also explains some things about the neo tantric movement and how she applies aspects of it to her personal life and work; especially aspects like breathe, movement, and other somatic modalities to enjoy the journey
  • Debbie describes how modern defacto sex education falls to pornography and how her work helps to give a more realistic understanding of sex and particularly women’s sexual preferences
  • She shares how her ideal client is looking for romance, especially when either partner’s libido has decreased
  • Debbie likes to focus on positive psychology and what makes life better rather than pathology
  • To learn more about how Debbie works with therapists to fill a gap and with her clients visit her website where you can setup a free call, take a quiz, see and share her Love Tips blog, and checkout her Facebook group that supports Cis gender women in relationships with men
  • Here is a link to her Tedx Talk entitled More Sex, Intimacy and love in marriage
  • Here's a link to an article Debbie wrote with an MFT entitled How’s Your Client’s Sex Life?
