"When we reframe pleasure as an act of resistance, We recognize that nurturing our deepest needs and desires clears the path to unfurl the most authentic expression of who we truly are." - Zhenya

WHAT I DO

A woman with red hair is wearing a black sleep mask and has her eyes closed, embracing someone covered in dark fur, holding a purple fluffy object. The background is blurred with shelves and objects.

Your relationship with pleasure, intimacy, and embodiment shapes the way you move through the world. These experiences touch the deepest layers of the psyche and hold the potential to transform old wounds into pathways toward deeper connection, self-love, vitality, and joy.

Our bodies, like the lands we inhabit, have often been shaped by cultural conditioning, shame, trauma, and systems of disconnection that leave us feeling fragmented from our truest expression, creativity, and aliveness.

I support courageous humans in reclaiming pleasure as a birthright so they can cultivate deeply nourishing relationships, embodied intimacy, and lives rooted in authenticity, connection, and joy.

Together, we explore through deep self-inquiry, trauma integration, the Erotic Blueprints framework, somatic, relational, and ancestral healing modalities that support integration and transformation on emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual levels.

Work with me

I’m zhenya, your guide.

My journey has taught me that embracing present-moment circumstances and cultivating acceptance, is the secret sauce that allows us to increase our capacity for allowing what we most desire to take shape.

As a coach, educator, and mentor, I meet my clients where they are. My mentor Jaiya, the creator of the Erotic Blueprints® taught me that “we can only move as fast as our slowest moving parts.”

For me, that means acknowledging and celebrating the beautiful and complex journey that has made it possible for me to fully show up for my business, my relationships, and my life. I hold brave, precious space for those navigating their own beautifully complex labyrinth toward wholeness. This work is precious and powerful. I am so grateful and excited to work with you!

Zhenya has played a critical role in helping me rediscover the joy in life and rebuild a loving, caring, and exploratory relationship with myself.  Working with her for a year taught me how to tap into what is already great inside me and my relationships with friends, family, and lovers. She has permanently impacted my connection to joy, love, power, creativity, zest, and eros in all its forms. I recommend her in the highest regard to anyone who is on a discovery path and is ready to be excited about life again. She is special. And she helps you see how special you are too.

WHAT I OFFER

There are many ways to work with me, depending on where you are in your journey and the kind of support you are seeking. I work with individuals, partners, and groups through coaching containers designed to support deeper embodiment, intimacy, healing, creativity, and personal transformation.

Some offerings focus specifically on somatic sex and relationship coaching, while others support broader life transitions, emotional integration, nervous system healing, and reclaiming authentic self-expression.

I also facilitate ongoing workshops, trainings, retreats, and immersive experiences both online and in person, creating spaces for collective learning, embodiment, ritual, and connection.

For those drawn to the healing traditions of Tul’ix Indigenous Arts (previously known as Arvigo Therapy®), I offer monthly online self-care classes, mentorship, and one-on-one guidance rooted in ancestral healing practices and embodied care.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I belong to the Rio Grande River Valley with its creeping Coyotoes, Lyrical Cranes, Yerba Mansa, Horsetail, Willow, and Cottonwood trees that color the riparian River shoreline. I am a settler here, as this place is the un-seated territory of the Tiwa Pueblo people who originally inhabited these clay-rich lands. I came here from New York, where my family settled after immigrating from my native Ukraine. I carry the good medicine of these places too, from the borscht and bay leaves to the bustling streets of Brighton Beach. My inner city, Brooklyn upbringing will always remind me of who I am and what I call home.

“I was never not there, for the spirits of that land clung to me in dreams, in memories, and in the animals sacred to the spirituality of its native peoples.”

- Meinrad Craighead speaking of New Mexico
