MEET THE TEAM

Hi, I’m Kayna.

I’m not just a specialist, I struggled with a physically (+ emotionally) painful sex life too for over a decade.

Even though I was a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Sex Therapist, there weren’t obvious answers for relief in textbooks, lectures, or courses. But I wasn’t going to settle for a mediocre (painful) sex life. I dug deep, spending years and thousands of hours studying a wide range of healing modalities to find solutions that actually worked.

After a mind-blowing amount of personal and professional research and feeling like a totally new person when it came to my sex life I finally created the NeuroSomatic Method™ for Sex Therapy & Coaching for you: a trauma-informed model for sex therapy and intervention.

As an entrepreneur, I poured hundreds of thousands into coaching programs, transforming into the CEO I am today. These crucial lessons were absent from my Clinical Psychology Masters Program.

Recognizing the potential, I integrated these skills into my client work, leading to remarkable progress for them and allowing us to help more people in ways that fit their lifestyles and budgets.
