As a committed Professional Member of the Association of Certified Sexological Bodyworkers (ACSB) and The Association of Somatic and Integrative Sexologists (ASIS), I am dedicated to upholding their ethical codes and standards in all aspects of my work with clients. Depending on the specific modality of our sessions, different intake processes, frameworks, boundaries, and codes of ethics will apply to ensure a clear and professional working relationship.

While various modalities can often address similar topics, it's crucial that we establish a clear agreement upfront about the framework we will be working within for each session. This means that we will not unexpectedly switch between different types of work, such as incorporating hands-on bodywork into a talk-based coaching session, without prior discussion and consent. If there is a mutual desire to explore a different modality, we will have an open conversation beforehand to re-establish the boundaries and professional guidelines for our work together. To maintain clarity and consistency, I recommend that we avoid frequently alternating between modalities.

I deeply respect and honor the trust that my clients place in me and the often vulnerable or sensitive nature of the topics and experiences that may arise during our work together. I am committed to maintaining strict confidentiality and will not disclose to anyone that we are working together or share any details from our sessions, with two exceptions:

1. If I have reason to believe that there is a significant risk of harm to yourself or others, I may seek professional support to ensure everyone's safety and well-being.

2. If you request that I collaborate with another professional, such as a therapist, I will obtain your explicit permission and guidance regarding what information you would like me to share about our work.

As part of my ongoing professional development, I engage in regular mentoring and supervision sessions. During these sessions, I may discuss aspects of our work through the lens of my own experience and learning edges, but I will not disclose any personally identifying information about you to my supervisor(s) or mentor(s).

Given my involvement in various communities centered around embodied practices, conscious sexuality, and alternative relating, there may be instances where we have mutual friends, connections, or interests, or where we encounter each other outside of our sessions at events or gatherings. Should this occur, I will honor any agreements we have made regarding how we interact in such situations. If we have not yet established such an agreement, I will follow your lead on how we engage (or not). While you are free to disclose our professional relationship to others if you choose, I will always maintain the confidential nature of our work.

The foundation of all my work is built upon consent and boundaries, with a specific focus on empowering my clients to recognize, trust, value, and communicate their wants and needs, drawing from the principles of Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent. It is essential to acknowledge both the explicit and implicit power dynamics that exist within a practitioner/client relationship and how these can impact our ability to make fully autonomous choices.

To maintain clear professional boundaries and avoid potential ethical dilemmas, I do not engage in any form of personal friendship with clients while we are actively working together. Furthermore, I will not pursue any romantic or intimate relationship or friendship with potential or previous clients for at least one year following our last professional contact.
