She is a psychotherapist specializing in sex therapy, polyamory, kink, and other alternative lifestyles. She has been part of the San Diego kink and poly communities (where she is known as Renee) for more than ten years. If you know her as Renee, call her that!

Her husband, Dan, will co-host the event. He is best known for his role as a Shibari instructor for All Tied Up San Diego and alongside his wife, they have navigated many a difficult conversation in the Kink, Poly, and ENM world.

Afternoon Session:

Talk It Out, Turn It On: Putting Communication into Action

_

You’ve got the foundation, now it’s time to turn words into heat.

This isn’t theory, it’s practice you’ll use the same day.

If you’ve ever wished you could say what you want, ask for what you need, or spark heat with just your words, this class is for you.

This 3-hour workshop takes you deeper, giving you the skills to:

What to say when things are good (and not good): appreciation language and repair scripts that strengthen intimacy

Conflict and repair: how to de-escalate, own mistakes, and rebuild closeness after tension

Talking about sex: how to share desires, fantasies, and boundaries without shame

Dirty talk with confidence: finding your style, reading your partner, and building arousal through words

Why This Matters

Because words shape connection. The right words can make your partner feel safe, valued, and turned on. This class gives you the confidence to talk about sex, handle conflict, and create intimacy that lasts.

Cost: Afternoon Only - $30 / Both Sessions - $50
