Jin, your journey from a corporate professional to a sexual empowerment coach is quite unique. How did your personal experiences shape your approach to helping individuals and couples navigate intimacy, rewiring limiting beliefs, and fostering authentic self-expression in relationships?
In a nutshell, I experienced a profound transformation within myself. Growing up in a Chinese culture, the focus was always on academic and professional achievements. So I was living in my head and disconnected from my body. However, in my mid-30s after a painful personal event, I began a journey of self-discovery, connecting with my body and its innate wisdom. Exploring my sensuality and learning to embody self-love genuinely became pivotal. That shift – finding the clarity in my boundaries, needs, and desires, and expressing them authentically with ease – was unlike any education I had received before. This shift impacted my romantic relationships and every connection in my life.
You’ve mentioned using a holistic approach to address mind, body, and sexuality in your coaching. How do you combine elements from both Eastern ancient wisdom (like Tantra and Taoism) and modern Western sexuality studies to create a comprehensive method for removing blocks that hinder intimacy and self-expression?
I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced both Eastern and Western cultures deeply. Growing up in an Eastern culture, particularly in China, I was exposed to traditional Chinese medicine, understanding the significance of energy and holistic body care in our daily lives. Then, living in the States for the past 17 years, I encountered a different perspective—a focus on therapies, mental and emotional health, and trauma healing. About a decade ago, I delved into my healing journey and discovered how these two streams, although seemingly different in their languages, merge beautifully.
For instance, take tantra, originally from India, emphasizing love, meditation, and energy. In the West, tantra is often narrowly defined regarding sexual energy, but its essence lies in love and self-connection. The Western world offers rich information on healing the body and mind, recognizing that trauma resides in our bodies and shows up naturally in our intimate relationships, unlike our corporate personas.
Combining these teachings has shown me the profound impact of bridging these worlds, acknowledging that people respond differently to various languages and terminologies due to their diverse backgrounds and cultures. Ultimately, they lead to the same destination through different avenues.
Your diverse certifications and training cover a wide range of methodologies, from VITA™ and Erotic Blueprint™ to Accelerated Evolution and Tantra. How do these various modalities complement each other in your coaching practice, and how do they contribute to helping individuals and couples achieve deep intimacy and sexual empowerment?
Absolutely, it’s a continuous journey that ties into our previous discussion. Integrating the VITA approach with a Tantric perspective on love, sex, and relationships is fascinating. Tantra, emphasizing love and meditation, plays a crucial role in uplifting and enhancing our relationships, including our relationship with ourselves.
Exploring modern sexuality studies like the Erotic Blueprint, pioneered by my mentor, Jaiya, has been transformative. It offers a clear framework to understand the physical, mental, and emotional aspects that contribute to fulfilling intimacy. It broadens perspectives beyond what’s portrayed in the media, alleviating shame and granting permission to embrace individuality in pleasure, body, and mind.
This understanding enables my clients to accept their bodies and experience a deeper and more diverse connection with pleasure. Considering the holistic nature of mind, body, energy, and spirituality in sexuality and relationships, psycho-spiritual tools from the Accelerated Revolution have been invaluable. They help identify and work through blocks in the psychological and emotional realms, bringing unconscious aspects to light for integration and overall transformation. It’s a holistic approach where each aspect intertwines, forming the foundation for a fulfilling relationship and vibrant love life.
Your work seems to encompass both individual and couple-focused coaching. How do your approaches differ when working with individuals seeking sexual empowerment versus couples aiming to forge deeper intimacy, especially considering potential differences in their needs and challenges?
Supporting couples is a multifaceted journey that delves into three crucial elements: each individual and their dynamic, as well as the interplay of their relationship. While working with individuals encompasses a range of dynamics—from family connections to emotional and physical well-being—couples’ therapy dives deeper into understanding triggers and behaviors, especially in intimate settings.
It involves exploring the triggers and blocks that affect both individuals and how these manifest in their relationship dynamics. Couples’ commitment to this journey is pivotal; it involves relational development and the growth of each individual.
Often, couples initially focus solely on their joint issues, yet it’s essential to recognize and commit to the layers of individual growth that contribute significantly to their shared growth and harmony. This deeper commitment to both individual and relational evolution is key to a transformative journey in couples’ work.
The concepts of erotic types, sexual satisfaction blocks, and connecting with pleasure are key aspects of your coaching. Could you elaborate on how you help individuals and couples identify and work through these elements to create fulfilling and nourishing relationships with themselves and their partners?
The breakthrough, when many people start their journey with me, revolves around their newfound freedom to express themselves. Many clients have previously engaged in talk therapy, which, while beneficial, left them feeling a disconnection between their mental processing and the responses of their bodies, especially related to their sexuality. This realization sparks an opening for them to explore their emotions, physical responses, sexual energy, and body image.
My approach combines various modalities to address these aspects comprehensively. For instance, there’s a need for a fresh perspective on sex education, especially concerning female and male pleasure, which goes beyond mainstream representations.
I focus on retiring mental blocks, fostering emotional healing by addressing body shame and performance anxiety and delving into the energetic aspect of emotions within the body. Additionally, I help clients reframe their relationship with pleasure, encouraging conscious self-pleasure and acceptance of their bodies.
This foundational work enables individuals to relate to themselves beyond the thinking mind, setting the stage for improved openness with their partners. Lastly, in couple coaching, emphasis is placed on erotic skills and communication, guiding partners to express desires, sensations, and pleasures openly and constructively, fostering a space for mutual support and understanding rather than blame or resistance.
I often witness their breakthroughs in self-trust, emotional safety, and authentic expression and the impact shows up in many aspects of life.
