The Most-Needed Training for Coaches in 2023
It's Time to Bridge the Gap in Coach Training
That Overlooks
an Essential Part of Every Woman
Dr. Sonia Wright, the Midlife Sex Coach for Women and Master Coach Lisa Hatlestad get candid about why the Advanced Certification in Women's Sexual Intimacy is for YOU.
You ARE the Right Coach for This!
You already have the training, experience, expertise and confidence that make you the perfect coach for your clients.
They trust you.
But you don’t feel comfortable coaching on sexual intimacy…yet.
How do I even begin getting comfortable?
Sex is such a personal topic. It can feel daunting to coach on it if you’re not a trained sex coach.
If you’re honest with yourself, you’re worried that:
- You'd need to be a fully certified sex coach to be able to coach on intimacy well and confidently
- Your clients won't feel safe enough talking about it with you
- YOU won't feel safe enough talking about it with clients
- Your own intimacy issues and biases will trip you up or make you feel like a "fraud."
- You'd have to violate your own values or beliefs in order to talk about sex with your client
- You might "get in over your head" or cross a boundary
Breathe! All of this can be addressed… We’ll let you in on a little secret:
The problem isn't you or your ability
It’s society… Where sex is used to sell EVERYTHING and yet still taboo to talk about seriously (Hello, patriarchy!)
It’s mainstream coach training… Where the subject of sexual intimacy is avoided or treated as an afterthought. (Hmmm…)
You don’t have to become a sex coach… To help your clients with their sexual intimacy concerns (pssst…you don’t even have to change your niche)
…You – yes, you – are the perfect coach to best help your client. Becoming a sex coach is not the solution (Shocking, but true!)
Your clients may not be bringing up their intimacy issues in your sessions, but it isn’t because they don’t trust you; it’s because they don’t know they can bring them up.
Imagine sessions with your clients where…
- You have the deep satisfaction of coaching your clients holistically as the fully human and sexual beings they are.
- Your clients feel safe to come to you with issues they've needed help with but had no place to take them to before.
- You feel completely confident to help them with any intimacy issues that may be holding them back or impacting their life
- SEX is no longer a topic to avoid or tiptoe around with your clients because you're comfortable with your boundaries, your clients' boundaries, where the ethical lines are, and how to guide them to other professionals when needed.
- You help your clients un-shame their sexuality because you've done that work for yourself first.
- Your clients get to experience true transformation in how they see and experience themselves in every area of their lives as their sexual empowerment grows.
We know these things are fully possible because we’ve been where you are.
When we really understand that it’s not lack of ability that keeps us from being open to coaching on sexual intimacy, we become more willing to:
- Discover and unpack our hidden biases so we can hold clean space…
- Learn more about ourselves and our clients as sexual beings…
- Set coaching boundaries based on our values and what we care about instead of avoiding it out of fear.
- Stay free of shame, judgement and anxiety as we have conversations with our clients about their sex intimacy issues.
You don’t have to do this all on your own. Finally, there’s an accessible, affordable and thorough solution to almost every coach’s gap in training.
We’ve got you, Coach!

~ Client Testimonial
Meet Dr. Sonia
Hi! I’m Dr. Sonia Wright.
As a trained sexual counselor, master certified life coach, and board-certified radiologist, I approach sex and intimacy from all angles.
After years of helping hundreds of women as a sex coach, I’m acutely aware that all women need somewhere to turn for their sexual intimacy issues…and there are never going to be enough sexual counsellors or sex coaches in the world to help them all. Yet the coaching industry is still not including sexual intimacy coaching in most mainstream coach trainings.
So I developed an impactful, accessible, affordable and do-able training that gives all certified coaches everything they need to confidently offer sexual intimacy support to their clients. A training where no one needs to become a sex coach or change their niche to help their clients with this intrinsic part of being human.
I’m so proud of this incredible training that bridges a much-needed gap and opens the way for even more women to get help with a vital part of themselves in a world where there are few safe spaces to turn for that help.
Meet Lisa
Hi, I’m Lisa Hatlestad.
I’m a master certified life coach and I also trained hundreds of life coaches for several years.
I’m also not a sex coach.
I didn’t just avoid talking about sexuality in my sessions, I prayed my clients didn’t want to talk about it. Pretty ironic, given I do deep work with my clients around their identity. Finally, though, I was honest with myself and sought training from my friend Dr. Sonia…the same training we’re now offering in YES! School.

COURSE OVERVIEW
The YES! Advanced Certification in Women’s Sexual Intimacy takes you through the steps of understanding where you are in your journey as a sexual being, including your explicit and implicit biases and comfort/competency level with sexual intimacy conversations with your clients, to where you want to be, and all the training and support to get there.
A deep dive to support you in exploring everything that has led to how you experience and think about sexuality now. The live intensive is an essential element in creating safe & clean space in your intimacy coaching (PS: it’s also life-changing!)
What does sexual intimacy look like for your clients?
Using the safety you created for yourself in the Intensive, you’ll understand how to create a judgement-free zone for your clients to explore their intimacy issues and concerns by the end of this module.
Sexuality is a normal, healthy part of life, but not everyone is comfortable with the idea of themselves as a sexual being. By the end of Module 2, you’ll have the skill, experience and confidence to help your clients see themselves as sexual beings who are deserving of intimate pleasure.
We’re going to bust the myths that get in the way of women truly understanding their body and sex drive. By the end of this module, you’ll know so much more about how a woman’s libido changes over time and what factors influence libido, so you can educate and help your clients with their own libido concerns.
It’s time to get more familiar with our sexual anatomy! In this module, We’ll help you better understand the female sexual anatomy and all its links to pleasure.
In this module you’ll learn how to support your client in re-shaping their relationship with their body spefically through the realm of pleasure — not just sexual pleasure but also life’s overall pleasure — and help them connect their mind and body through this realm of pleasure.
We’ll explore the birthright of pleasure and how to support your clients in pulling pleasure out of the “have to earn it” closet, center it in their lives, communicate their needs to their partners, and take full responsibility for their own pleasure.
Dr. Kimmery Newsom, licensed marriage and family therapist and certified family life educator is our in-house therapeutic expert and joins us in the module to talk about trauma and ethical boundaries with our clients and in our field.
In this module, we’ll explore a number of sexually intimate acts and how they might appeal or not appeal to us or our clients. By the end of this module, you’ll have an expanded list to explore with your clients to help them get curious and discover what they like.
Toys and vibrators and dildos… oh my! Let’s learn about ALL the different toys that have the power to transform pleasure and intimacy. You’ll also learn how to help your clients give themselves permission to play and fantasize to enhance their pleasure life.
Learn how to support your client in creating their “intimacy blueprint” or scheduled plan that ensures the sexual pleasure they desire in their life is maintained. By the end of this module, you’ll complete your own initial protocol, which will give you so much insight into helping your clients create theirs.
This deep dive is an opportunity to explore sexual diversity and identify and dismantle sexual stereotypes. You’ll leave been far more aware of what you might encounter when coaching different sexual populations.
Congratulations! You completed the training!
By this point you’ve become far more comfortable and confident talking about sexual intimacy; in fact, you’re excited to talk about it with your clients because you’ve seen very clearly the impact and importance of a healthy, pleasurable and empowered sex life, and you know you have the knowledge, understanding, tools and personal experience (after all, while you were learning, you were also doing!) to serve your clients in this way.
In this wrap-up module, you’ll reflect on what you’ve learned and how you will move forward in this journey.
IT’S A SIMPLE CHOICE...
We can continue to avoid talking with our clients about intimacy issues and leave them to figure out where they can get help (or not get help at all)…
OR…
We can come together in YES! School and learn how to not just be comfortable with, but enjoy coaching on sexual intimacy and BE the resource our clients need but didn’t know they could turn to (until now).

We’re confident you’re going to LOVE the YES Advanced Certification in Women’s Sexual Intimacy…and it comes with a satisfaction guarantee. If you commit to doing the work, you will come away feeling confident about your ability to help your clients with their sexual intimacy issues.

Attending the intensive live is important; please do your best to come.
After the intensive, there will be weekly live classes led by Dr. Sonia and Lisa, plus additional live calls – Q&A, practicums, guest experts – throughout. Aside from the opening Intensive, expect most classes to be 1 hour in length.
We highly recommend coming live to as many classes as possible, AND we know this might not always be possible. Replays of each class will be provided for those who could not attend.
You’ll want to set aside 2-4 hours weekly (additionally the opening Intensive will require about 2-3 hours of pre-work and 10 hours of class time over Friday to Sunday)
There are so many opportunities for connection within YES School – the live classes and Q&A calls, bonus classes, the intensive, the practicum and bookclub…but we know some students crave even more community.
Although a community forum is not provided in YES School, we welcome students to reach out to one another to form study groups, practice groups and fun connection as well.
Although each module is connected, they are also each an individual experience. If you find you’ve gotten behind, we have everything set up for you to be able to get yourself caught easily using the replays, course materials, office hours, and ask-the-instructors forum. We’ll definitely have your back all the way through!
Yes, we have a 4-payment option available. Just click on the enrollment button to learn more. If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to reach out.
Due to the virtual nature of this material, there are no refunds available. However, there is a satisfaction guarantee. If you have any concerns, we will work hard to ensure you are satisfied with the training.

There was a time when you probably asked yourself this question about becoming a life coach…and you’re likely asking it of yourself again, as you consider whether you want to add sexual intimacy coaching to your skill set.
Please know that we know you can do this, and that you’re absolutely the right person to do it. We’re here to support you through the entire journey, and we’ll be here afterward, to support you as you incorporate these new skills. You aren’t alone and you don’t have to do this alone. We’re in this together.
We hope you’ll join us in creating positive, much-needed and life-supporting change for women through your coaching vocation.
