A conversation on the intersection of intimacy and empowerment, the massive importance of consent, and the pendulum of pleasure and grief as a tool to heal trauma. Featuring Charlie Henderson.

As an intimacy + empowerment coach, Charlie supports individuals who are feeling stuck in their sex life to have more fulfilling and passionate sex.

Charlie has always been passionate about human connection, relationships, and sexuality. After years of professional dancing, she found herself on the path of yoga, philosophy, and meditation. Through yoga she began experiencing a deep liberation in her body and soul. She realized she had spent most of her life feeling uncomfortable within her body, which resulted in deep discomfort in her sexuality.

Soon after, she began diving into the world of tantra, which led to many powerful breakthroughs in her relationship with herself, her body, and her sexuality.

She knew she had to spread this knowledge to women and non-binary individuals. She currently works 1:1 with clients in her program specifically designed to help liberate individuals in their relationship with themselves as well as their partner(s).

Charlie is currently training with the Tantric Institute of Integrated Sexuality, led by Layla Martin, which blends the realms of neuroscience, tantra, as well as sex, love, and relationship coaching.
