I'm Christian, your guide to Desires and intimacy
Over many years of studying kink and personal development, I have refined an educational approach to exploring shame, desire, and connection in a way that many people find insightful and clarifying.
My own experience helped me develop language and reflective tools that contributed to increased confidence, self-acceptance, and deeper connection in interpersonal relationships.
I once was riddled with crippling shame and resistance towards my desires, until I discovered that our desires are often a manifestation of underlying needs trying to be fulfilled.
I found personal clarity about my desires and developed language and tools that supported my confidence, self-acceptance, and connection in my relationships.
This was one of the reasons that led me to create KinkConsciousness, a reflective space in which I offer educational perspectives and frameworks for exploring shadow aspects of experience.
KinkConsciousness offers educational perspectives and reflective frameworks for adults to learn about desire, identity, and meaning in the context of kink.
Participation is voluntary and self-guided.
My approach…
…introduces a curious, understanding, and compassionate mindset for exploring desires and underlying needs.
Many people find that acknowledging patterns can support self-awareness and reduce internal barriers to understanding their responses.
Through exercises and language frameworks, participants can explore ways of communicating needs and boundaries in their relationships.
These are reflective tools, not therapeutic interventions.
This is the approach I take with my coaching clients, and is also what can find in my online course - Desires Decoded: From Shame to Intimacy!

“My experience with Christian began with the phrase “safe vulnerability”, which proved to be a recurring theme throughout our time together.
Christian’s extensive experience with conscientious BDSM, his intelligent and nonjudgmental curiosity, and his ability to hold space in an attuned, secure way make him [an ideal person to explore reflective work on BDSM shadow themes].
For me, that created the necessary space for hidden thoughts and desires to emerge in a way that felt safe and supported, even while bringing up deeply held fears.
As a result, I would describe my time with Christian as one of the most intimate and [meaningful] interpersonal experiences I’ve had.”
M, Shadow Work Client
“Desires Decoded has truly changed the way I see myself, my desires and needs, and my relationships.
Before taking the course, I had so much confusion around my desires and I’d always had trouble asking for what I wanted from partners – I didn’t realize that this was all due to shame.
I also really struggled with self-acceptance.
This course [gave me clarity around] the difference between needs and desires and how they relate to each other, which was so eye-opening for me. And the way that the teachings about shadows and shame are presented [supported my ability to reflect on self-compassion], which is such a big win for me.
I appreciate how digestible all the course material is.
[By the end, I noticed increased clarity and confidence in how I approach relationships].
I now [have language to consider different parts of my experience] so I can identify what my needs and desires are, and I know how to meet them with compassion instead of judgment.
I’m excited to get into my next relationship because I’m really looking forward to being in a relationship where I can actually feel known and understood by my partner, and I realize now that this starts by intimately getting to know and understand myself first.
I highly recommend Desires Decoded whether you’re single or already partnered.
I’m planning on going through it a second time with my future partner because I know that doing the exercises together will lay an incredible foundation of openness and understanding and trust in our relationship, which are the building blocks of intimacy.
I feel really grateful to have found this course!”
Tami, Desires Decoded Student
“I've done so much "work" on myself, and yet, I realize that as long as I have some shame around desires and fantasies, I am not free.
Kink is complex and this is where Christians' expertise, care, and support has been immensely helpful to unearth the remaining blockages in my heart and body. [His consideration and empathy helped create a reflective space in which I could explore difficult thoughts and feelings with trust and clarity].
If you have any sexual trauma or feel shame around your erotic expression, hire Christian now and free yourself, too.”
Aude, Shadow Work & Coaching Client
“I confess that I didn’t know what to expect from a session on kink consciousness, but so glad I was open enough to give it a try!
Christian is so attentive, sensitive and incredibly knowledgeable! I’ve done all sorts of therapy in my life. Still, I was genuinely impressed by the amount of details he perceived in my speech that [introduced perspectives that helped clarify topics that had felt unclear] for me for YEARS.
I am sure that men might benefit greatly from his sessions as well but speaking as a woman I’d say it’s quite necessary to allow yourself to go through these depths with someone so kind, careful and passionate.
Wishing that you reach as many people as possible, Chris! Your work is gold!”
Fernanda, Coaching Client
“As a coach, Christian has a way of creating a safe, non-judgmental space that allows me to dive into the depths and nuances of myself. Usually, it takes a long time for me to build the trust needed to feel safe sharing these vulnerable, well hidden parts, but with Christian, that trust has naturally been there from the beginning.
His deep experience with inner work and shadow work, combined with his proactive and structured approach to meeting resistance and challenges, really resonates with me. Christian isn’t afraid to challenge you and hold you accountable, helping you create the change you’ve been longing for in your life.
I’ve done a lot of inner work over the years, but the way Christian shows up with his 'clear mirror' and attentiveness has [created a supportive reflective space that allowed me to explore aspects of myself with more understanding and awareness]. I wholeheartedly recommend taking this step and giving yourself this experience!”
Cecilia, Coaching Client
I highly recommend working with Christian. He has a hard earned wisdom that he very lovingly applies in his sessions.
He's a kind hearted man who's not afraid to challenge me when I need it. He's able to very quickly get to the crux of things and focus on solutions rather than get bogged down in the excuses my own mind might get hung up on.
[Christian’s approach encouraged useful reflection and insight, and I continue to be satisfied with the experience].

For those who prefer to do this work at their own pace, we offer the Desires Decoded: from Shame to Intimacy online course.
