Exploring Intimacy: Healing, Desire, and Connection

In a recent episode of our “Confident You” podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Daniela Stevens, a trauma and attachment-informed certified Sex and Intimacy Coach for couples and individuals of all bodies and all expressions. Daniela's unique approach to intimacy and connection goes beyond traditional dating coaching. She supports people to experience deep sexual connection and intimacy with themselves and their partner by addressing the intersections of personal experience with multiple systems of oppression and by guiding them to clarify, connect, communicate, heal, and co-create the sex they want and the intimacy they desire. Our conversation was filled with invaluable insights, offering actionable advice and thorough explanations to help you navigate your own journey towards deeper intimacy and connection.Daniela Stevens has been recognized as one of the ten best sex and intimacy coaches of 2023. Her work is not just about helping people find partners but about fostering genuine connections. Daniela's journey into intimacy coaching began with her own struggles with sexual pleasure, leading her to explore and heal her relationship with intimacy. With a master's degree in communication studies, she initially believed that better communication would lead to deeper connections. However, her experiences revealed that intimacy is far more complex, involving both personal and systemic factors.Find Daniela on her website here:https://www.danielastevens.com/If you want Julie's best resources, visit our website here: https://www.goconfidentlycoaching.com/quicklinks This is a public episode.
