Coaching Guidelines
Welcome to Holistic Progression’s Sex Coaching
by Stacie Ysidro
I am so happy you have made the time and resources for me to be your guide and Sex Coach.
What is sex coaching? Sex Coaching is a mix of these elements and is NOT therapy Nor is it a entertainment experience. It is its own, non medical, form of promoting sexual wellness.
1) Personalized sexuality information and education
2) Re-directive cognitive processes and mental reframing
3) Emotional balancing
4) Intuitive guidance
5) Behavioral training
6) Resources and referrals
Sex Coaching involves all of these parts of you:
Mind. Information. Your “self-talk,” thinking about sexual performance, capacity for fantasy, troubling thought patterns, compulsive behavior.
Emotions. Feelings. Feelings that you carry from the past, about your body and body image, sexuality, what you suppress and express, how you express your emotions, and your capacity for intimacy.
Body and body-image issues. Physical. Knowing how your own sexual pattern works, understanding your own body’s sexual architecture and function, acknowledging your own sexual (dys)functions, learning skills for how to be a successful lover alone or with a partner Energy. Sex is all about energy! The build-up, the containment and the expression of energy. In my “one-on-one work” I observe energy patterns with the individual and with a partner and give coaching feedback for handling this often overlooked part of sexuality
Spirit. The essence of self. Esoteric moments or practices that transcend the moment, such as peak orgasm experiences; sacred sexuality; the more subtle and delicate manner in which people deny or reflect their inner self through sexuality; the path of sex to experience the Divine or God of your understanding. Connection to bigger picture and your internal wise self.

What are the fees?
Fees are set at $ $150 per 45 min by telephone or FaceTime/skype/zoom. Please consult website for up to date package rates.
If requested/as needed, fees may be pro-rated for longer or shorter sessions.
Payment is expected at the beginning of each session by cashier’s check, money orders, cash or PayPal . *an added fee is charged for use of PayPal .
If finances are a problem for you, a payment plan may be available.
*There will be a $25 charge for emails over 3 short paragraphs in length (under 250 words) that relate to our work together.
*If your emails are longer than approximately 1,000 words, I will charge for a full session.
Emails vs. sessions
For most of our work, it is best to keep a journal of your thoughts, feelings, observations and behavioral assignments, and use the journal for the discussions we have during our live sessions. If you use emails in between sessions to
communicate with me instead of during sessions, we will re-assess the use of emails vs. sessions in a live session.
Emails are for your informing me of changes to our scheduled appointments; they should be used for your growth only at a minimum.
*Please respect the coaching relationship by refraining from social texting or emailing*
Please use our live sessions not emails or text messages for updating (unless otherwise instructed and agreed upon), processing your journey, and working through why you are here in the first place.
How do sessions work?
Visit the faq page on my website holisticprogressions.com to answer many questions.
Most sessions are conducted by telephone, face time or skype/zoom which can be highly effective. Some may be conducted in person, given your geographical location and kind of session needed.
You call me at the agreed upon time. Be is a space you feel comfortable speaking honestly and where you have the ability to take notes.
I recommend keeping a journal of your sessions and use for home assignments.
Most sessions are 45 minutes in length, reserve the full hour to reflect and journal after our call. Sessions may be scheduled for once a week, less or more frequently depending on your schedule, my availability and your needs for sex coaching. For packaged sessions: I recommend not going longer than 2 weeks apart to maintain momentum and progress.
We will schedule our next session before we end our call.
What about missing or changing appointments? If you cannot make your appointment, a 24-hours-in-advance cancellation policy is expected of you. Please send me an email of the dates and times you wish to reschedule for.
If you fail to cancel or reschedule within that time frame, a 50% charge will be asked of you for the missed appointment, (or that will be deducted from the package of sessions) Of course, if there are extraordinary circumstances involved, no charges will be asked for the missed appointment. Due to my participation in live media (radio, TV, etc.) I may have to move our appointment. In those situations, I will do my utmost to give a 24-hours notice, as well.
What can you expect?
My respect and discretion. Everything shared is kept in confidence. I will NOT share your information or sessions with anyone, (unless you tell me to).
This type of work can be transformational for your whole life, not just your sexuality. By trusting the process and allowing me to be your guide, you will grow, learn and become a more empowered person, I assure you.
Thank you so much for choosing me as your Sex coach. It is always my honor and privilege to do this work. I am thrilled that we are going down this path together.
