hello, I’m cory.

I am a trauma integration coach.  

I also teach and train professional VITA™ sex, love, and relationship coaches.  

I am trained and licensed as a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and sex/love/relationship coach.  

In my therapy career, I treated hundreds of clients struggling with trauma-related issues, behavioral problems like addiction and eating disorders, dissociative disorders, etc. 

I transitioned into coaching work because I recognized that therapy left many of my clients feeling better, but not fully thriving.  In order to thrive, we must continue to heal and integrate beyond stabilization.  

My coaching work takes people from stable to thriving.   

I have taken what I have learned in my therapy career, alongside my deeper personal studies in tantra and yoga, to create a deeply integrative, somatic-based coaching style.  My clients regularly express to me that my coaching takes them to places so deep inside their being they liken it to a psychedelic experience.

My clients consistently achieve their own benchmarks for success. 

This is not a fluke.  

This is my area of expertise.  This is high-level skill and knowledge, tempered with extensive experience and practiced with love and integrity.

If you are ready to anchor your life in your truth, 

If you want to honestly and skillfully excavate your emotional, spiritual and physical landscape, 

Please reach out to me. I am fueled by my clients’ desires and am deeply committed to your expansive potential.
