    Temescal, North Oakland

    My husband and I have been together for more than forty years, and for the last thirty, we have…read morebeen dealing with conflict over sexual intimacy. We tried personal counseling, we tried marriage counseling, and our difficulties only persisted. This year, my husband and I decided once again to seek help. This time, we wanted to find a therapist who could listen to both sides of the sexual conflict that had become a cancer on our marriage, and somehow guide us to a place that would change our sexual relationship to the loving satisfaction we both sought. We found Dr. Anya-a sex and intimacy coach. Our previous attempts at personal and marriage counseling--private sessions with a therapist and couples communication classes through Kaiser--never addressed our fundamental difficulty which seemed to arise from a sex-life that was contentious. This led to a reluctance on the part of my husband to trust therapy to address our conflict. However, at his wits' end, my reluctant husband finally agreed to try seeing Dr. Anya. We warily scheduled a free consultation to discuss our issues and see whether she could help. After describing her methods, Anya reported that with Homeplay--exercises devised to help set new behavior patterns and sensitize partners to their mutual goals--couples were usually able to achieve improvement within six or more sessions. We decided to go for it as we had nothing to lose having tried everything we could think of on our own. Yes, professional guidance is expensive, but in our experience, it was completely worth it. With Anya's guidance, we learned how to open up to each other and address our issues for the first time. We learned how to navigate the differences in our case that are often fundamental to male and female arousal, and that made it easier to understand why we could never seem to get on the same page. Our goal was to break the deadlock we had found ourselves in and to increase our intimacy and have more joy from sex. With Anya's guidance, we feel we have succeeded in re-establishing the connection we had lost. We have rediscovered the ability to address and satisfy our mutual desires. It has not been a particularly simple or easy process to break the destructive cycle that we had found ourselves in after all those years, but Anya has given us tools to use going forward. Finally, it's reassuring knowing that we can always contact Anya for help and further guidance if we find ourselves falling back into old, destructive behaviors.

    Anya is amazing! She listens and provides so much support and thoughtful expertise.

    Jan Robinson is a treasure for women looking to heal and expand their experience of sexuality,…read moretheir body and their relationships. Her presence is warm, kind, grounded and loving, and she combines the seriousness of someone who knows their stuff with the humor of someone who has that necessary sense of play and lightness. After meeting her in community and hearing her speak last year, I had the pleasure of attending an afternoon workshop with her a week ago. One of the things I loved was that she created a space where women at all levels of experience could learn, grow and expand, and in a way that felt good to be together. She combines verbal teaching with experiential lessons, so we had both the knowledge/context as well as the felt experience, which helps so much with integration into daily life. As a healing professional myself who works with women around sexuality and embodiment, I enjoyed relaxing into the space that Jan created so that I could fill my own cup, and, I would feel enthusiastic about referring less experienced women to work with her as well. Jan is also available for 1-1 work as well. Thank you Jan for your beautiful work!

    I stumbled across this event last week while looking for something new to do over last weekend. I…read morehad no idea what to expect, but from the description it sounded like something I'd enjoy, so I figured I had nothing to lose. I was immediately comfortable when I arrived, and was surprised to see a roomful of animated, age-appropriate adults chatting with each other, before the actual evening began. The dating process itself, was also very comfortable, easy and actually fun! Jan facilitated each "date" so we stayed on the time schedule, and gave suggestions as we moved around the circle. I showed up that night, hoping to meet some new male friends, and figuring that if any of those friendships turned into something more, that was a bonus. And for that reason, I found myself attracted to 8 out of the 15 who were there! And now I get to spend time with some of them and see if we are a good fit for friends and possibly more. I have spent 25+ years internet dating, and I have always found it to be such a huge time drain, in that there is quantity on dating sites, but not necessarily quality. Jan's event was most definitely a quality event! I loved the fact that she pre-screened everyone, saving me hours and hours of scrolling, emailing, texting and way too many cups of tea!

    Amy helped me turn my life around!…read more I was originally very apprehensive about the idea to seek help in a life coach, but this year I realized that at the age of 30, if I'm not happy with where I'm at, then I must be doing it wrong. I knew that I shouldn't feel like I should spend most of my days without passion, happiness, and energy on a daily basis. I felt like a was going in the wrong direction with my career, and really had no plan of how I could get out of the rut I was in. My first session with Amy was so valuable, that if I never had another, I believe that it would have still changed my life. Amy didn't tell me what to do, but instead helped me identify what I really wanted to do with my life, what was stopping me, and what to focus on to be happier. She helped me focus my disorganized thoughts and ideas into a cohesive and actionable plan that I could take step by step. Nine months later I've never been in a better place in both my professional and personal life, and the best thing about it is that I know that I had it in me to do it with her help.

    During my first session with Brandy, I immediately felt home. I don't know what it is, but her…read morecoaching style is one that's rooted in peace, freedom, and sincerity. I felt like I can tell her anything, and it's almost as if I were talking to a life-long friend. Her coaching doesn't stop at the end of the hour either. After each session, Brandy's always there to help or serve when I text or email her with something I'm having trouble with. Initially, I went in for her to uncover my blind spots, and even though she didn't say, "Josh, X, Y, Z are your blind spots," after each session, I'm always amazed at what I haven't been able to see myself. That being said, she's definitely given me what I was looking for, but more importantly, she's transformed my emotional, mental, and spiritual life. One thing to remember, though, is coaching is really a two-way street. At the end of the day, YOU have to put in the work and effort to further your own growth. If you don't care about your own growth, it doesn't matter how great your coach is... you will never grow. Brandy's job is to be the guiding light for your life, but it's you who still have to walk the path at the end of the day. That being said, Brandy will do whatever it takes to serve you, and it's something I always take comfort in whenever I go in to see her.
