Many traditions of initiation, awakening, and healing in the past have included an erotic component. Much of that has been lost in the social sphere, but has survived in secret, and is experiencing a resurgence. Excellent practitioners are emerging around the world, and I’m training some of them! But we don’t need that depth of mastery to get started with partners and friends.
Erotic Healing sessions are a profound encounter where we hold sacred space for our partner with great reverence and care. It can be very pleasurable for both, but that’s not the point, and it’s completely different than normal lovemaking. Our focus is on depeening our beloved’s self-connection, and following their energy wherever it leads ~ unlocking hidden pain or pleasure, and thawing the places where energy is blocked, or nothing seems to be happening. It’s a gift they will be deeply grateful for, and a one to be taken seriously.
I’ve been working with trauma and couples counseling for over 30 years, and practicing Erotic Healing Arts in some form for 20. I look forward to introducing you to this exquisite world, or helping you take your relationship and Tantra practice to next level and beyond…

“I’m so grateful to know David and to work with him as a Tantric partner, friend and healer. David embodies such deep presence and wisdom, I am truly inspired by him. He is certainly up to the task of holding space for emotional triggers when/if they arise to help heal them, and his unconditional love, clarity, and way of being is a breath of fresh air for anyone who is looking to embody more of their sexual and sensual nature. He honors boundaries and holds such beautiful space for the feminine. He is compassionate and so loving and warm. I feel blessed by his presence.”
~ Paloma
“David was so welcoming, so warm and easy, I felt at ease right from the start. And oh, to be met, so deeply and fully met, in ways I didn’t even know I wanted, in ways I haven’t even been meeting myself. I felt seen, and better than seen — beheld — in my entirety, beheld and approved and celebrated. In every word, gesture, touch, I felt David’s intention to gently remind me, to convince me, of my goddessness, It was truly a gift beyond words.”
~ A Private Client
“This is my first experience listening to David and trying this type of work with my partner. This gives insight into the humility of David and his skill at helping others through their hardships. What a level of intelligence you have David. You are truly awake… not affected by ego challenges. Safe, sacred space… echoing in my heart now…”
~ Sydney
It’s a stand alone event, and also a prelude to the content we dive deep with there.
You can also apply your registration for the Intro towards Erotic Healing for Lovers if you choose to register that night.
Many traditions of initiation, awakening, and healing in the past have included an erotic component. When handled with wisdom, care, and experience, few if any other healing modalities have similar depth and power to rapidly heal core wounding and trauma, and awaken the fullness of our love, power, and pleasure in life and relating.
This workshop explores the history and practice of Erotic Healing Arts, from a range of traditions and perspectives, and includes a live demonstration and exercises partners do in class fully clothed, within their comfort zone. It is recommended but not required to come with a partner to work with.
We will also learn about the Erotic Healing For Lovers weekend workshop, and the 3 month Erotic Healing Arts Practitioner Certification Training with David.
