Somatic Sex and Relationship Coach My name is Jess DeVries and I am a Somatic Sex and Relationship Coach trained in the Somatica® Method.

I partner with individuals interested in deepening their level of connection in interpersonal relationships, expanding their erotic know-how and having a greater self-understanding of their body, their needs and their desires. My heart's work is to meet people where they are and help them become as sexually fulfilled as they want to be. I specialize in working with folks who grew up in the Christian church and are seeking to undo early religious messaging around sex and sexuality. Work is done in one-on-one sessions at my office in Portland, OR, via Skype or over the phone. While not a comprehensive list, the following gives you an idea of what is possible within a session. Areas I can help you explore are:

*Learning more about your personal turn-ons, why they turn you on and how to incorporate your turn-ons into your sex life regularly.

*Boundaries: how to notice your own, how to hold them and how to honor the boundaries of others.

*Asking for what you want.

*Healing early emotional wounds through inner child work.

*Different types of touch and how to touch your partner(s) in ways that are pleasing to both of you.

*Exploring romance, passion and/or dominance in your relationship(s)

*Struggles and issues within your relationship with your partner(s) or with sex in general and how to address those issues.

*Insecure attachment and building more secure attachment. If you are interested in a session give me a call. I look forward to working with you.

In my second grade class we made these Christmas tree angels with our tiny school pictures.

All these years later this mulleted 80’s baby angel still lives with me. She’s not usually on the tree, but this year I wanted to bring her out and onto the sweet cedar I have decorated.

I’m sharing her here because a lot of us are scared right now. A lot of us are overwhelmed. All of us are grieving in some way. And the darkness of the season can amplify those feelings.

I’m scared and overwhelmed and grieving too.

I pulled little Jess out... little mullet baby angel Jess out… because I want to remember her this December and how she lives inside of me. Remember the kid that was full of love and anxiety with lungs that sent her to the hospital and remember how when I am scared and overwhelmed and grieving, a lot of the times I am her.

When I have the energy, or people to remind me to, I can show up for that Jess and sooth us both with things that would have made her feel loved and protected then.

* Holding the hand of my old stuffed bear
* Being creative
* Having my back gently scratched
* Playing in nature
* Reading (rereading) books in my bed

What did a younger version of you want or need to feel loved and protected?

What would make it possible for you to give yourself a little of that? Or to ask someone to offer it to you?

Winter holiday season is full of grief… missing our loved ones who have died, severed ties with family of origin, no longer being connected to seasonal traditions, too much, too little, and the seasonal darkness.

Our next Mindful Erotic Grief is on December 24th, Christmas Eve.

If you need a place for your grief this holiday season, there is space for you here. You don’t have to be alone with it.

❤️

This is just a little reminder to look up.

Or around.

Breathe a little deeper if that feels possible.

I love you.

I caught these lines on my face from my 3M Aura this evening after leaving a friend’s house.

There’s something about taking a mask off after spending time inside with folks outside my bubble... release, the fresh air, the lines that remain after a time of care and holding and sharing space with consent.

It doesn’t feel that dissimilar to the lines that remain after being tied with rope. Slightly different flavors, but also a time of care and holding and sharing space with consent.

This post is a little love letter to your mask lines and the care and holding we offer one another each time we decide to put on a mask.

❤️❤️❤️

The cedars can hold it. We can hold one another together. Our breath out is their breath in. Their breath out is our breath in.

Today marks 2 years since my metamour Coco transitioned to the other side of the veil. Words about it feel unreachable this year, but just popping in to say grief and love are more vast than we can imagine.

So grateful for the cedars that held and continue to hold my grief so well.

Where can you find a bit of rest today?

Nearly six years ago I lost one of my significant people to a car accident. In the ways that polyamory and q***rness and working with erotic energy make the term partner complicated, her death (coupled a number of other losses at the same time) was completely overwhelming and most people didn’t know how to understand my grief.

And those that did were also swimming deeply in the same waters of the grief of her death.

How do you talk about the person that you were building life plans with, but weren’t s*xual with, but also trained in flogging with and wanted to bring s*xual healing to evangelical communities as part of our magic…

Being q***r and kinky and non-monogamous allows for so many expansive relationships to exist, and when we lose someone, the standard of grief care does not know how to show up and hold that grief.

Tomorrow’s grief circle is just that. A place where we get to name things exactly as they are, and choose to share or not from a place of actual choice rather than trying to keep parts of our grief safe because we know people won’t understand.

If you are someone who is q***r, kinky and non-monogamous and you have had a partner die (comet, D/S, client/provider, spouse, f**k buddy… etc) and need a place to be with your grief with people who understand. This place is for you.

Like in bio.

and I would be so glad to have you there. ❤️

Covid Cautious Loves… Our next grief gathering has been scheduled!

This is a space for C*vid cautious folks to gather virtually and tend the various griefs that we have experienced since March 2020 and the specific grief of watching the world go back to “normal” when the pandemic is still very much here. With so much isolation in the last 5 years we are excited to gather and tend grief together, to know that we are not alone and that we are held in community.

We will begin with some somatic exercises to open and ground into the space.
Depending on numbers we may go into breakout rooms, or stay in one room together.
There will be time for each person to share.
In the last 15 minutes we will come back together as a group to engage in a closing for our gathering.

Wednesday, November 5th
12:30pm - 2:00pm PST / 3:30pm-5:00pm EST / 9:30pm - 11:00pm GMT +1
Zoom Room with Captions

PLEASE RSVP via the link in my bio so that we can plan for numbers & accessibility needs.
We will send you the zoom link a couple of hours before we meet.

These grief gatherings are offered on a sliding scale basis, with a suggested donation of $5-$25 (USD), with no one turned away for lack of funds.

We also encourage those who are able to "pay it forward" and offer more.

Please send payment to Jess DeVries (**write Cozy Grief or Covid Grief in the note**):
PayPal.me/BelovedCoaching
or Venmo

We (, , and I) offer this circle the first Wednesday of every month, so we can have a regular time to gather and grieve. We send out an email inviting folks to RSVP for the upcoming session 7-10 days before that session. If you want to be notified by email of upcoming gatherings, please note that in the RSVP.

We are so excited to announce this new grief circle for those of us who are q***r non-monogamous kinky widows to talk openly about our grief.

This is a monthly grief circle for widows who are q***r, non-monogamous, and kinky to grieve the death of your partner(s) and the shifts in relational dynamics with the relational constellations of your erotic and romantic connections, as well as, the shift in the way you show up to your s*xual self.

Polyamourous/non-monogamous experience doesn’t always fit within traditional bereavement spaces. The additional layers of q***rness, transness, kink dynamics, etc all add to the sense of isolation when attempting to access peer spaces for widows. Maybe that word is not even quite right for you, terminology is often deep in the het-norm of it all, and this space is created from a sense of needing to have something that is as q***red and expansive as the relationships that we live and die in.

This grief circle centers the grief of partner death loss, whatever partner means to you. D/S dynamics, comets, spouses, f**k buddies, play partners, situations where your relationship was unknown to their family/community, s*x work clients/providers, etc.

If you are q***r, non-monogamous, and kinky, grieving the death of a partner, this space is for you.

*LGBTQIA2+ Space
*18+
*No prior grief circle experience is required.
*Drop in sessions. Come when you can, as you can.
*Participation is by choice. You will never be required to share.
*No sharing advice unless explicitly asked for.
*No homework/worksheets, but grief tending suggestions and resources will be sent to the group after.

Register in the bio.

We would love to have you there!

It’s my birthday!

This double Libra is 43 and feeling wild about being alive right now and so happy to be here with all of you! Thank you for sharing this corner of the internet with me. ❤️

If you would like to help me celebrate my birthday there are a few ways that would feel good to me.

1.) Monetarily Support Fighting Food Insecurity ��

You may have heard the news that if the US government shut down continues, SNAP benefits will not be disbursed for November. This will leave many people with extreme food insecurity. Giving money to organizations who have reliable food distribution processes is an excellent way to love on people right now. Two of my favorite places to support getting food and household supplies into the hands of families who need them are Equitable Giving Circle and Voix Noire.

2.) Beloved Coaching Community Supported Care ��

My practice, Beloved Coaching, provides many sliding scale sessions and low to no cost workshop spots each month. If you love the work I do and want to support it on a monthly basis, or with a one time gift, you can help me continue to provide needed care to folks who do not have the financial means to do so. ��You can to contribute to the Community Supported Care Fund: https://www.belovedcoaching.net/community-supported-care

OR

3.) DM me and share something that has brought you a glimmer of joy or hope or whimsy in the recent days.

4.) Reach out to someone to tell them something you appreciate about them.

5.) Listen to your favorite song or album.
