Body & Sexuality Counseling
transforming shame, sexual unfulfilment, and body loathing into a celebration of your sensual brilliance
“I so appreciate and value your compassion and the deep quality of your listening and accompaniment. Thank you for the work you do. It is so vital, not only for the health and wellbeing of the individual but for the health of our relationships, community and wider society.” - Laura
If you find yourself struggling with sexual shame, lack of libido, unfulfilment, genital dysfunction, or orgasmic limitation, know that you are not alone. Sexuality is an essential domain of human health and well-being – for any, and every, body. It is one of the greatest resources, and pleasures, that we’ve been given. Unfortunately, it may be the most maligned realms of human experience. Why? Because it’s inherently vulnerable - and powerful.
When things aren’t going the way you want them to sexually, your whole life can take a hit.
The good news? Transformation is possible. Your brilliant body is the key. With over 40 years of experience, I will guide you to access the felt-sense understanding of what your body knows right now (and is waiting for you to discover). I’ll hold your hand, in-person or online, while you delve into the (shadowy) depths of what you may have have been longing to resolve for decades.
One of the many precious gifts my mother gave me was her open-door policy to discussing sex. I was always so curious about it, and my mom was unusually comfortable answering my precocious questions. No doubt, her unusual comfort – and her lack of judgment – discussing sex built the bedrock of my comfort and lack of judgment discussing sex. This necessarily translates to my clients gaining greater freedom and ease talking about, sharing and transforming, their sexual challenges with me – and consequently, with their partners.
I am blessed and honored to be invited by my clients into these previously secret, usually ashamed, often profoundly painful places in their lives. Letting in the light of sharing those shadows, and opening to receive non-judgemental, gentle guidance, insights, and when appropriate, fierce advocacy, can release and transform near nuclear amounts of compressed energy from clients’ psyches, bodies, and lives. All the more energy to express themselves in confidence, creativity, joy, intimacy, and pleasure!
If you feel the call to liberate your sexual pain, confusion, trauma, and inhibition, I hope you will book with me. I will gladly accompany you with Personal Geometry®, Constellations and Sexological Counseling on your journey to greater fulfillment.
“Ali displays courage, creativity and compassion with clients that present with extremely complex issues. She is willing and able to find and develop the resources within herself and around her to never shy away from what presents, especially in new and challenging circumstances. I am impressed with Ali’s insight and integrity and when applied, the depth of growth and timeframe within which her clients experience change.” - Charles Living, mid-wife, sexological bodywork coach

“Ali is like a blacklight. She can see in the dark of your shadows. If you’ve tried lots of stuff - healers, facilitators of alternative and conventional therapies, coaches and you still haven’t gotten to the pivotal truth of what you need to feel and see and do, even one session with Ali can shed so much light, and bring you into so much more of your light. No joke, Ali is a Body Whisperer - not just in her ability to read and experience your body, and her own body, with stunning fluency, but helping you learn to speak the language of your own body. Bit of caution, however…if you’re someone who likes to only dip in a toe or two, or just wade into the shallow end of the pool of your truth, go elsewhere. We’re talking deep end here, but she’ll be in there with you, loving floaties and all.”

“Alison has a rare combination of gifts, employing both considerable analysis and intuition. She uses these skillfully in her work across many modalities, leading her clients and students through profound experiences and insightful awakenings.
I am confident that her work will greatly benefit many who have experienced sexual trauma. Ali has intense desire to work with sexually traumatized women. I agree that there is an urgent need for practitioners with Ali’s skills, insights, and perceptual abilities to free those whose lives and ability to love have been affected by ignorance, cruelty, and sexual violence.”

“Ali is a very sensitive, intuitive and skilled practitioner. She has a deep understanding of the body, how it holds our life experiences, and how to best guide it through its traumatic imprints so that it may access new freedom and expression. She is extremely gifted in working with sexual challenges. Her loving energy creates so much trust and safety that her clients are able to talk with her about very intimate issues. Anyone who has an opportunity to work with Ali and guided by her healing gifts and skills will emerge with a new sense of themselves and a freer capacity to embody and self-express.”
-
“Ali has the intelligence, the knowledge, the sensitivity, the experience, the intuition, the heart, the depth, the understanding of the implications, and a very rich human experience from a very strong background, to really be able to hold the space to face every issue that shows up.”

“Ali is a great Constellation facilitator and she helped me through some difficult rooted believes about myself in our private session. Ali is compassionate and opens her heart up to you so that you can feel safe and be vulnerable with her, and birth into a new way of seeing yourself and your life.”
