Barbara Carrellas

BARBARA CARRELLA is an author, artist, innovator, instigator and thought leader in the fields of sex, gender and spirit.

She is also a sex/life coach, sex educator, workshop facilitator, university lecturer, motivational speaker and theater artist. She is the author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century, Ecstasy is Necessary: A Practical Guide to Sex, Relationships and Oh So Much More, and Luxurious Loving: Tantric Inspirations for Passion and Pleasure.
Barbara currently offers inspiring and life-changing workshops, lectures, and keynotes on a variety of topics to individuals, schools, conferences, businesses, and the arts.
Barbara is also a Sex/Life coach, offering her clients sex information and education, emotional and mental rebalancing, intuitive readings, resources and referrals. The essence of her work is the inseparable connection between your sex life and the rest of your life, and the happy integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Barbara brings a holistic, metaphysical, practical, humorous, entertaining and gender-fluid approach to conscious sexuality and to all her work. She began her work in metaphysics and conscious sexuality during the AIDS crisis in the late 1980’s—a time when the connections between sex, spirit and healing were at their most strained. Barbara has facilitated countless healing circles and support groups for women, men, trans and non-binary people, artists, people with life-threatening illnesses and people with HIV/AIDS. For four years she was a facilitator for and on the Board of Directors of the New York Healing Circle, which was founded in response to the AIDS crisis and incorporated the principles of Louise Hay’s work. As her workshops grew in popularity and in attendance, her work expanded to include people from all walks of life and in all stages of sexual evolution.
The more Barbara explored sex and consciousness, the more she saw the possibilities for healing and expanded consciousness in all forms of “sacred” practices, including Tantra, Tao, Quodoushka, Reiki, breathwork, metaphysics, performance, ritual, herbal medicine, bodywork, erotic massage, commercial sex work and BDSM. Her books and her workshops are an eclectic mix of sexual and spiritual practices designed to encourage readers and participants of all sexual preferences and genders to expand their capacity for both pleasure and spiritual fulfillment.

Barbara has lectured at many educational institutions, including Harvard University, Brown University, Vassar College, Barnard College, Sara Lawrence College, Wesleyan University, the Chicago Art Institute and Yale University. She frequently collaborates with her partner, Kate Bornstein, with whom she performs and tours their sex positive, gender-bending lecture/performance piece There And Back Again: An Epic Tale of Sex, Death, and Gender.

 

Barbara is a certified sexologist (ASC, American College of Sexologists) and a member of AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists).

Sex/Life Coaching with Barbara Carrellas 

 

What is Sex/Life Coaching?

If you’d like to work with Barbara privately, Sex/Life Coaching is for you. Sex/Life Coaching is just what the name implies: one-on-one coaching on issues at the intersection of sex, gender and life. The coaching model is client-directed. You decide what issue(s) you want to work on and what result you’d like to achieve. Barbara will help you get clear about what you want, help you identify blocks or beliefs standing between you and your erotic fulfillment, and help you to take positive action by giving you a plan tailored for your personality, lifestyle, available time, energy and health. Whatever your sexual or gender issue, concern, perceived limitation, expectation or goal, Sex/Life Coaching can help bring you into alignment with your deepest desires.

 

Why Sex/Life Coaching?

Sex/Life Coaching acknowledges, appreciates and utilizes the inseparable connection between your sex life and the rest of your life. When you expand your capacity for sensual and sexual pleasure, you expand your capacity for abundance, love and joy in all areas of your life. Sex/Life Coaching is highly personalized for each client. All of Barbara’s skills and knowledge are at your disposal, including intuitive readings, sex information and education, emotional and mental rebalancing, resources and referrals. The essence of my work is the happy integration of body, mind, and spirit.

Sex/Life Coaching is perfect if you’ve been wanting to take a workshop with Barbara but have not been able to schedule one. It is also perfect if you are feeling a little shy or apprehensive about attending a group workshop.

 

What’s the time commitment?

Sex/Life Coaching does not have to be a long term commitment. Some issues may be resolved in as little as one session. More complex issues will take more time. The typical commitment is between 4 and 8 sessions, either weekly or b-weekly.

 

Where are the sessions held?

Sex/Life Coaching Sessions happen right where you are. All sessions are conducted on Skype, Facetime, Zoom, etc. or by telephone at a time convenient for you.
