About Shana Graham
I believe that pleasure, joy, and healing go hand-in-hand.
I’m a sexual wellness and relationship coach, somatic practitioner, board-certified sexologist, author, and producer.
I specialize in helping people hone their unique superpowers, uproot shame and conditioning, and forge the relationships and pleasure they desire.
I’ve been a leader, educator, and community-builder within sex-positive spaces for over 15 years. In that time, I’ve designed and produced workshops and events for everything from intimate groups to costumed hordes of hundreds, published essays and stories, appeared at events across the country, and guided countless people in creating the intimacy and relationships they desire.
My years of professional leadership in public relations and communications, politics, and social justice have also fed, shaped, and expanded my art of relationship and communications.
This site primarily contains my coaching and workshop offerings. You can find my writing at my author website and my large-scale, fun & sexy events at Petting Zoo Productions.
My Training
I'm a trained Sex and Relationship Coach and Somatic Practitioner via the Somatica Institute® and a Certified Sexologist via The American Board of Sexology International (A.B.S. 24072).
​
I’m currently training in somatic trauma healing with Somatic Experiencing International.
I’ve also trained with the School of Consent and Consent Academy. I studied Experiential Education and Writing at Hampshire College and studied and taught Writing at Florida International University and other institutions.
Why I Do This Work
I love, love, love watching—and helping—people emerge into their full, beautiful, bursting, sexy selves and stories.
This has been my favorite part of all the roles I’ve played—coach, leader, event and workshop producer, educator, storyteller—throughout my life and work.
That moment when a person sheds their cramped shell of conditioning and shame and scarcity and shoulds and bursts open into all the superpowers that lay beneath.
It’s hot. It’s palpable. It’s powerful and irresistible. And: it’s possible for everyone.
Everything I do is about creating conducive spaces for this to happen, whether in 1-on-1 experiential coaching, or the cozy container of intimate workshops, or the raucous joy of consent-forward community revelry.
I discovered—and continue to expand and grow—my own superpowers within these kinds of magical spaces.
I want you to have this too.
I want to help you emerge into your sexy superpowers.
I want you to get everything you want.
You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything:
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
