I first contacted Anya several years ago when I was looking for counseling that would help me become more in touch with my body, and with my erotic self. At the age of 52, I had come to understand that I hadn’t yet given myself the chance to fully engage with my own eroticism, and that I actually had very little understanding of or sensitivity to this part of myself.
The promise I made to myself to find ways of deepening this understanding led me down many paths; one path led me to contact Anya, after hearing her speaking as the host of an online radio program. I remember my nervousness making that phone call, not knowing anything about the kind of help or services that might be offered, but feeling determined to be brave enough to stay curious, and act on my own behalf.
From the first meeting with Anya, it was clear to me that I would be working with someone who had a great deal of sensitivity and knowledge, along with a great kindness, and that I had found the right guide for me to more deeply explore these neglected parts of myself. Guiding me through practices of quieting my mind and body, coaching me using home exercises, a little bit of body work, and lots of encouragement in my own curiosity, Anya helped me find many avenues of exploration, both in our sessions together, as well as outside her office. She helped me understand my own desires, and offered wonderful access to resources that allowed me to pursue this deepening further.
I would like to stress that throughout our work together, Anya treated me with the utmost respect; her encouragement always was centered in what was authentic for me. I was truly changed by her coaching, and the effects of her work are still resonating in my life, more than 2 years after our last session.

Anya is a empathic, open-​minded, and kind-​heart-​centered healer and counselor. She is a talented and intuitive communicator and an excellent listener. As part of my healing journey (post an emotionally abusive relationship/​cycle), I contacted Anya for private coaching sessions. Through her couching, I was able to reconnect to my own desires and gain confidence with intimate relationships and prospective partners. Anya was supportive and encouraging and full of great exercises for home play (not home work). I definitely would recommend Anya’s classes, workshops, and coaching services.

Had a private couples session with Anya to learn about Bondassage. Loved that we were able to try out all sorts of different sensory experiences and learned how to turn all sorts of existing items in our house into awesome sensual toys. Learning what is pleasurable to each other and sharing that with a partner feels ridiculously easy with the help of someone like Anya. Highly recommend booking a private session or attending one of her workshops as soon as you can.

Anya is a healer. Through counseling and education Anya helped me find my libido. I was experiencing some suffering do to the ending of a relationship. Anya was able to create a loving container that helped me feel safe and supported as we explored what was at the root of my lack of sex drive. She taught me practical ways to create safety for myself when in sexual situations with my partners. She also helped me to become more embodied which has led to more joy in my romantic life. Anya is a knowledgeable counselor with a tremendous amount of wisdom to bestow. I recommend her highly!

I have known Anya for years and when she was in town she invited me to attend her Sex and Communication Workshop. Fun !
I brought my partner and from the start I was impressed by the open hearted articulate nature of Anya as a speaker –although I was not surprised ;) She has a very inclusive energy about her when she leads a topic and she made everyone feel safe and inspired to share. The energy of the room felt balanced, honest, and intimate. When she led the communication partner exercises, I was enjoying noticing the finer nuances of how to intentionally create a space to communicate with my partner and more space for us both to explore.
Anya is very knowledgeable and has a gift of encouraging people to open up to the power of enjoying their sexual nature. She is well educated and has a lot to share on the many topics of the leading edge of Self Love, Sexuality, Communication, and Relationships.

I just took Anya’s Squirtgasm class last night. It was a perfect balance between the most current and accurate research on female ejaculation and how to build intimacy with your partner. I loved that it wasn’t all just discussion, but there was an acutal live demonstration of a woman ejaculating. It demystified a lot of the conflicting information floating on the web.
Anya created a safe space for couples who decided to stay for the practice segment, where people could use what they learned in the course by practicing the techniques with their partner.
Some people may be turned off by the thought of a live demonstration and hands on practice, but honestly you can’t learn to dance from reading a book about it. You gotta go out and practice!

Anya is a great educator. Her classes are perfect for any experience or interest level. She welcomes dialogue and creates a safe space for exploration! I’ve attended two of her classes and recommend them to anyone wanting to learn more about their body and increasing their pleasure.

I took my first workshop with Anya this evening and I thought it was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable, covered the material thoroughly, provided excellent handouts, and had a lovely couple do an amazing live demonstration for us. Anya struck the perfect balance between professional competence and personal warmth, encouraged questions and personal sharing from the attendees, and was sensitive and respectful throughout. I’m very much looking forward to my next opportunity to learn from her.
