The first session is 20mins, after which the practitioner and client will decide on whether it’s a good fit, and which service to begin. The client will then schedule a 1hr appointment. Depending on the goals of the client, the process can take from 2-10+ sessions, with a general average of 8 sessions.

This question is best answered in our 20min intro zoom call, as each person’s journey is different. But generally speaking, Coaching is ideal for those who prefer a more body oriented, dynamic approach, which could include clothed, touch-based practices. Counselling is ideal for those looking for largely talk-based counseling on the presented topics.

It depends. Counselling clients will receive receipts they can submit to their benefits for assessment, and many insurance companies cover Registered Social Workers. Coaching clients however cannot (currently) submit receipts to their benefits (however much benefit they get, and it’s a lot!).

People see these professionals for similar reasons - they want to have a good relationship or sex life. Sex Therapists generally specialize in mental health, trauma and in resolving specific problems (ED, porn addiction) related to relationships and sexuality. They require specific education and to be certified by BETSCO (in Ontario) to use the title “Sex Therapist”. 

To be a Registered Social Worker, one needs the right education and to be licensed by the OSWSSW (in Ontario). Emily has been licensed by them since 2007. Social Workers practice in many fields and specialties. To specialize in sexuality and relationships as an RSW does not require specific training per se, but she chose to continue her studies at the reputable Somatica Institute in California and completed the exam to become a Certified SomaticaⓇ Sexuality, Intimacy and Relationship Coach in 2024. She has also been an American Board of Sexology Certified Sexologist since 2024.She does not however require licensing to practice as a Coach. She offers both counselling as an RSW, and coaching (see above FAQ).

No, Emily’s services do not fall under their professional umbrella. She provides counselling and coaching through conversations, as well as specific, somatic (body-based) activities, with the goal of self-growth and discovery. If someone is looking for nudity, kissing or genital sex,, to have an “experience”, or wishes to receive BDSM services, other professionals can attend to those needs. If someone is looking for a lover or partner(s), the sessions will increase a client’s chances of reaching those goals. Emily has strict boundaries around the practice, and is there to increase the client’s relationship skills, not replace their partners and lovers.

Trans men are welcome to sign up for individual coaching. Cisgendered men (men who were assigned male at birth) are welcome to come for coaching when they are the partners of existing coaching clients to enrich the client’s growth, or within workshop settings.

Ok, this might not be an FAQ, but Emily drew the initial logo concept using ink and then Canva. She then received assistance from AI through Hiloma Montreal to refine the image, and further design and typography by Iris Glaser, Graphic Artist in Toronto.

Yes, Emily welcomes feedback. I encourage the use of the Socrates 4 Gates Method (asking yourself 1. Is it true? 2. Is it kind? 3. Is it necessary? and 4. Is it helpful?).
