WHAT DOES AN INTIMACY COACH DO?
An intimacy coach is a trained professional who specializes in helping individuals and couples cultivate deeper connections and enhance their intimate relationships. The role of an intimacy coach is to guide and support their clients in exploring various aspects of intimacy, including emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy.
Intimacy coaches create a safe and non-judgmental space for their clients to express their needs, desires, and concerns related to intimacy. An intimacy coach helps clients develop self-awareness and emotional intelligence, enabling them to better understand their own desires and those of their partner. They provide guidance on effective communication techniques, conflict resolution, and exploring new ways to deepen emotional and physical intimacy.

41. Evolving Individually Through Growth in Relationship, with Morgan Mellas and Rob Kandell
When two emotionally mature adults build a relationship together, amazing things are possible.

We discuss controlling women, acquiescence to “the Feminine”, wounding from our relationships with our mothers along with the collision of beliefs about what it takes to have a successful relationship. Through all of that Rob and Morgan continue to find the “yes, and” that becomes possible with deeper listening, open hearts and open minds.
