Victoria King - Bio

My mission is to help my clients break free from limiting beliefs, patterns, and behaviors so that they can live a life filled with love, joy, fun, and pleasure. 

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space of love and acceptance where clients can release shame and remove social conditioning through discovery, expression, and taking ownership of their true needs, wants, and desires. 

I help my clients confidently ask for and receive what they want from dating, relationships, sexuality, and everyday life. 

I teach my clients to communicate more effectively, connect with and attune to their partner, share authentically and vulnerably, and experience greater self-awareness and self-love. 

I guide my clients to fully embrace, embody, and harness their erotic energy so they can engage with others from a place of ease, presence, confidence and power.
