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 Practitioner and educator‭. ‬Since that’s quite a mouthful I also call myself a‭ ‬‘Somatic Intimacy Coach’‭.‬

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.
