INVITING PLEASURE, PRESENCE & POTENCY IN ALL THE WAYS.
“What generally gets overlooked is that sexual energy and life-force energy are virtually one and the same.” -Peter Levine
About Lorina
My name is Lorina Manzanita MA, SEP. I’m a Sex & Relationship Coach, Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resolution and a Medicine Assisted Trauma Resolution (PSIP) Practitioner.
I’ve been professionally helping people get comfortable in their own skins since 1998. My work in the world is to illuminate pathways that offer more pleasure, presence and potency.
I have found that the integrative path yields the most fulfilling of delights. Will you join me? With heart and skill I guide seekers along journeys that integrate mind & body, the seen & unseen, hearts & genitals, tears & laughter and so much more.
Whether you are super single, dating or in a relationship, we can all benefit from cultivating a more intimate relationship with ourselves, the present moment and wonder. My practice offers a space where you can do just that.

"Lorina brings a loving, caring, accepting presence to her work. I feel welcome, seen and supported when I'm with her. I can bring my wounds and confusions around my relationships with women and my sexuality to Lorina and I know she will hold them sacredly, with wisdom and supportive humor. She has a keen intuition and does a wonderful job of tracking me, meeting me where I am at and guiding me. Lorina has a wonderful combination of soft sensuality and authoritative confidence. I embrace more of who I am working with Lorina."
