About Redwood

My erotic journey began as a deeply shy, introverted and closeted teen. While my peers were dating and exploring sex I was home watching movies with my parents. I’ve always been a romantic with an abundance of lust, but I had no clue how to admit my feelings, much less act on them. Finally, after college I began studying the intricate arts of courtship, pleasure, and intimacy. Slowly I came out of my shell and gained the confidence to date and create meaningful relationships. Eventually I met and married the love of my life, and after a while opened our relationship to explore the tumultuous yet beautiful world of non-monogamy. I came out as queer and kinky and feel more authentic and alive than ever. My own healing and growth as a complex erotic being gives me immense empathy and understanding for my clients and their unique paths.

Now with over twenty years of immersive study, training, and experience alongside leading figures in holistic healing and sacred sexuality, I’ve cultivated a unique ability to guide people through healing trauma and experiencing profound personal transformation. I offer a grounded and transformative space for you to explore your sensual and erotic potential, heal old wounds, and cultivate a deep, loving relationship with yourself and others

In my free time I enjoy canoeing on rivers, cycling on country roads, and singing around a fire with people I love. Fun fact: I’ve read over 1,000 romance books!

For those who are curious, I am 6’3” and 215 lbs

In gratitude for those who have supported me in cultivating my gifts
