Hi, I’m Alisa — a Somatica-trained Sex & Relationship Coach, psychologist turned intimacy guide, and the founder of Intimacy Illumination.

My work lives at the intersection of psychology, embodiment, and erotic exploration. I believe that our desires, including those expressed through kink, hold the potential for profound transformation and healing. For me, kink has been a pathway out of pain and disconnection—helping me overcome extreme pelvic floor pain rooted in trauma and guiding me back into my body with compassion, courage, and joy.

With nearly a decade as an organizational psychologist before stepping into this work, I bring both scientific grounding and deep empathy to my coaching and resources. My approach embraces vulnerability, safety, and authentic intimacy, supporting people in:

💫 Releasing shame around sexuality and identity

💫 Exploring fantasies and desires as a form of self-discovery

💫 Using kink and BDSM as tools for empowerment and embodied healing

💫 Building intimacy and safety in relationships, both with self and others

Here you’ll find digital guides and practices designed to help you reconnect with your erotic energy, deepen your intimacy, and step into the fullness of your authentic self.

Because intimacy isn’t just about sex—it’s about wholeness, healing, and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide.
