Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain frustrated with your journey into non-monogamy? Does it seem like everyone else has it all figured out while you’re left wondering, “Why is this so much harder for me?”

Or maybe you’ve done the homework. You’ve listened to all the podcasts, read the books, and even joined a few online communities. You’re packed with knowledge about non-monogamy, yet somehow, it still feels like you’re not quite where you want to be. All those great nuggets of wisdom give you hope this will get easier… until the next time you see your partner on their phone and immediately become convinced that the sexting on the other end is tantalizing enough that they’ll leave you forever and this is all too much but you can’t ask to close or slow down because then they’ll resent you but don’t they already resent you because you’re being emotionally needy and what was that episode you were just listening to about regularly scheduled check ins??? Turns out, your partner was just responding to a work email. You’re not sure if that makes you feel better or worse. Honey, take a deep breath.

I know it sucks, but it’s okay to feel this way. Implementing what you’ve learned, especially when it comes to something as nuanced and deeply personal as non-monogamy, isn’t easy. You might be asking yourself, “How do I take these ideas and make them work for me and my relationships?” or “Why is it so hard to apply this wisdom when I need it most?”

You’re not alone. In fact, I’d say you’re in the majority.

Many of us dive into consensual non-monogamy with excitement and desire, only to hit emotional walls that leave us questioning ourselves, our relationships, and even our bodies. Maybe you’ve tried to ‘think’ your way through it, you’ve figured out your ‘why’, only to find that your heart and body just aren’t on the same page as your mind. That’s where the real challenge lies—and that’s where I come in.

Welcome to Embodied Non-Monogamy, an 8-week online group coaching program designed to help you navigate the complexities of non-monogamy by bringing your body, mind, and relationships into harmonious alignment. This is more than just another course; it’s a playful yet profound journey in implementing the best-selling book, The Polyamory Paradox: Finding Your Confidence in Consensual Non-Monogamy. This program will guide you to use your pleasure as your compass for any relationship structure, build resilience and ease, and create the unique, right-fit relationships you desire, with the kind of support that’s missing when we try to go it alone.

What you’ll experience

  • Let’s set the stage! We’ll start by getting to know each other, orienting ourselves to this shared journey, and laying the groundwork for a supportive and transformative experience.

  • We’ll dive deep into the wisdom of your body. Discover how centering your body can guide you through the ups and downs of non-monogamy, while we gently explore trauma-sensitive practices to keep you feeling safe and grounded.

  • Pleasure isn’t just a bonus—it’s your guide! We’ll explore how to harness the power of pleasure to navigate non-monogamy with more ease, joy, and connection. Expect a mix of reflection, play, and some delightful surprises.

  • Here’s where we unpack the paradox of polyamory. Together, we’ll identify the elements that make up your unique right-fit relationship, and how to move towards it with confidence and clarity.

  • Words matter, but so does how we say them. This week, we’ll master the art of communication, so you can express your needs, desires, and boundaries without losing your cool—or your connection.

  • Conflict doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker. Learn how to re-frame conflict as an opportunity for deeper connection and re-think collaboration so that everyone’s needs are heard, held, and honored.

  • You’ve got questions, and we’ve got answers. This week is all about you—bring your burning questions, share your experiences, and let’s dive deep into whatever’s on your mind.

  • We’ll bring it all together, reflecting on the journey and celebrating your growth. You’ll leave with new insights, stronger relationships, and a clear path forward.

Program Design

Size:
This group will be capped at 20 participants to ensure resourced support for everyone in the container, and to enable Irene to facilitate an actual sense of peer support. All sessions will be recorded for you and link provided within 24hours. Members have the opportunity to add 1:1 sessions with Irene at a discounted rate.

Group Calls:
Each 90-minute session will be split between teaching concepts/embodiment practices & group discussion/coaching. We won’t be reading the entirety of the book together, but each week we’ll reference one or two chapters and the featured exercises.

Community:
You will have the opportunity* to form peer pods for the duration of the program. Often having peers to chat with in these programs can help you get more out of the material.

*peer pods are optional

Who’s your guide?

I’m Irene, a sex-positive educator, somatic coach, and the author of The Polyamory Paradox. I’ve walked this path myself, and I’ve now helped hundreds of others find their paths in non-traditional relationships. I know the terrain intimately. My unique blend of somatics and trauma-informed coaching is here to help you step into your power and create the non-monogamous relationships you truly desire.

This isn’t about fitting into someone else’s idea of polyamory. It’s about discovering what works for you, honoring your journey, and finding joy and playfulness along the way.

What Clients Are Saying

  • “Irene is truly one-of-a-kind. She works with you to help you uncover your true strength. She supports you every step of the way. Irene has a way of connecting with her clients and ensures they feel seen and heard. She celebrates any victory, no matter how small, and helps shine a mirror on your progress and growth. Irene has countless strategies to help you work through your personal challenges. I cannot recommend her enough.”

  • "“I am so grateful for the loving, compassionate and strong container Irene has held for me during our work together. Not only do I feel seen and heard every session, but I leave with a whole new set of tools after every call that I am then able to integrate throughout my daily life to manage my trauma responses. In the time we have been working together, the peaks and valleys of my symptoms have reduced. I am so much kinder and less judgmental to myself, and in turn to those around me. I am a better mother, wife, friend and all-around human because of our work together.”

  • "Working with Irene over the last several months has been nothing short of amazing. I’ve never felt more safe to express my feelings and what I am going through. She has provided me with such great tools to incorporate in my daily life they have absolutely shifted my perspective on different areas of my life. I would highly recommend working with Irene as she will guide you through your healing journey and provide you with safe space."

  • "I didn't think it was possible to feel so safe while expressing vulnerability… Irene is an expert at cultivating a safe, healing relationship. She was the first practitioner who made me feel understood in my most intense feelings that I have often hid from people for fear of being “too much.” She has helped me so much by teaching me practical tools to make daily life more manageable. I can more easily accept, sit with, and move through activated states. We worked on using my body to help me self-regulate, but also stressed the importance of interdependence -- how to feel safer with others by asking for what I need and giving them the opportunity to truly know me. "

Why This Program? Why Now?
