About Candice
I am dedicated to helping people delve into the taboo places in their lives so that they can find joy and freedom. My style of coaching is boldly honest, yet compassionate and open-minded. I received my Somatic Sex Educator Certification in 2017, my coaching and OM trainer certification through OneTaste in 2011, and my yoga teacher certification from Yoga Works in 2005. In 2014, I completed a 9-month program lead by renowned tantra teacher, Shakti Malan. I earned my Masters in Psychology in January 2022.
I am a performer and writer with a focus on eating disorders, sexuality, appetite, desire, bisexuality, marriage, and entering womanhood through the lens of orgasmic living. I am a recovering anorexic and use the wisdom I have found on my journey to fuel my passions for film, writing, creative performance, volunteering, and travel.
