Hello, Beloved.
I AM HAZEL-GRACE AND JUST LIKE YOU, I AM SO VERY HUMAN. I FEEL MY EMOTIONS DOWN TO MY CORE.
FROM SHEER ECSTASY TO SOUL-SHAKING GRIEF TO PURE UNADULTERATED JOY—I FEEL THEM ALL…
This work is VERY personal to me.
I overcame nearly two decades of toxic relationships.
I now celebrate abundance and health in my intimate relationships!
My Very Personal Story
Trigger Warning: Violence and Sexuality
I grew up in Texas where sexuality was dirty, bad, wrong, shameful or simply not talked about. Conflict and discipline was dealt with by yelling and corporal punishment. My first sexual encounter as a teenager was not by choice. I also had lots of love, support, care, affection and all of my basic needs were met.
At the age of 29, during a workshop at Burning Man, I discovered my clitoris for the first time and soon there after had a massive sexual healing and awakening.
Six months later I began offering hands on sexual healing sessions as if I had always known how to heal others around sexuality. I spent the next 13 years dedicated to my own personal and professional transformation in relationship and sexuality.
I sing from the mountain top with gratitude for the rich, healthy and secure intimate life I now have. My dad and I have deeply healed much of our relationship and we are best buddies! I have been in the most epic relationship with my beloved Nico for nearly 5 years - and we are still PEAKING! (Hence Peaking Adventures)
The REPAIR Process was born out of the healing work my Dad and I have done, as well as the years of healing that has come out of my relationship with Nico. I am so inspired for people to have access to this wisdom so that they can have generative conflict and deeper trust in their relationships.
