about me…
I've dedicated my life to shifting power by guiding individuals and systems to embody their values and align with their power.
I am Angela (she/her), a fiercely loving trauma-informed sexuality coach, racial equity facilitator and embodiment guide. I am committed to movement building and deep healing; to justice and joy.
I have over a decade of coaching experience, starting as a coach to community organizers, helping them embody their values and become stronger organizers. In all of my embodiment coaching, I support others in embracing both the joy and the pain in life and within themselves, recognizing that true freedom comes from accepting and embracing the full spectrum of human experience. It's through this acceptance that we can truly experience - and do our part to create - more liberation.
Like many, I once sought pleasure and validation externally, believing it resided solely in the hands of others. Through self-discovery and a deep dive into sex-positive education, I unearthed a profound truth: pleasure is a deeply personal journey, one we can cultivate within ourselves, regardless of our circumstances.
While rooted in the power of the collective as an organizer and trainer, I have found that movement, dance and exploring erotic power have cracked open for me a path to healing, self-love and individual and collective liberation.
From Philadelphia, I now live in New Haven, CT.
