Susan

Susan has been a life, career, relationship and dating coach in Denver for over 15 years. Her mission is to embrace every person as whole and worthy of celebrating, and to help people de-shame, reclaim, and fully express their innermost desires in ways that feel safe and pleasurable.

She loves helping people find their own “third way” – custom-fitting their sexual and intimate relationships to be in full service of what’s real and true for their fullest life expression—no matter what that is — so that they can thrive in their lives and in their world.

Susan is a Certified Somatica Sex and Relationship Coach, part of the Somatica Faculty, and incorporates skills in Matrix Leadership, authentic relating, and circling into her work.

She also draws upon a lifetime of experience in embodied movement, including a professional dance career and as a founding member of the Boulder Contact Improvisation Lab, which involves the exploration of what arises when two or more bodies share touch, weight, and movement.

Proudly known as a “third-way queen”, Susan grew up accepting that to fully express her desires, she needed to find ways to be unconventional in a conventional world. As the daughter of a sex therapist, she became her hometown’s unofficial teenage sex coach, offering council to other teens and debunking myths about sex.

As an adult, she embarked on a 10-year open relationship and marriage, had a child, and chose to live next door to her family partner to remain a family after they uncoupled. Susan speaks on panels and at college campuses and has been featured in Marie Claire magazine on outside-the-box relationships, sexuality, and sustainable polyamory.

Susan sees clients in her Denver, CO office, and online.
