Feel confident being intimate again
"Will I ever be touched again?" This is a refrain that keeps many of us awake at night.
After a body-altering surgery, like ostomy surgery, not only are our bodies changed but for many of us, our sexual function is also affected by nerve damage and even anatomical changes. We are faced with not being able to engage in intimacy the way we used to, on top of having bodies with scars and/ or bags that make us feel undesirable and insecure.
My name is Trina Ricketts and I thought no one would ever find me desirable again after my permanent ostomy surgery. I worried that I would never again experience carefree, confident intimacy. Fortunately, I was wrong. By examining my fears and challenging my beliefs around physical intimacy and penetrative sex, in particular; I was able to excitedly face life and intimacy with an ostomy. In fact, I am more confident now than I've ever been. And, you can be too.
My clients have benefited from a two-pronged approach. Focusing on body confidence and intimacy evolution, we reprogrammed their limiting beliefs and built a deep understanding of their authentic selves. Then, we created action plans for intimacy that work for their bodies.
Becoming confident about your body and your ability to please a lover after a body-altering surgery is absolutely possible. Reach out if you're ready to live your life fully again. xoxo

Do you miss being touched ... physically and emotionally?
I help people restore sexual confidence after body-altering surgery.
I became an intimacy coach after I learned the hard way what it's like to go through touch starvation and be sick in a toxic relationship; then later found a solution to my crippling insecurities in the bedroom. I came to understand how important intimacy is for our mental, physical, and spiritual health.
Now, I am obsessed with sharing what I've learned with others, which is why I post new reels almost everyday on my socials and new podcasts every week on YouTube. I want to make a difference in people's lives, whether they can afford coaching services or not. For people who are serious about their mental, physical, and spiritual health, addressing intimacy is a key aspect to living fulfilling lives.
Testimonials
Tanya felt lost and alone.
Tanya's biggest blocks were that she had lost hope in finding love ever again and she didn't know how to pull herself out of a deep funk caused by the ending of her long-term relationship. We worked on rebuilding her self worth, reframing her past traumas to enable her to let her walls down, and recreating a life again that she loves.
William didn't think anyone would want him after prostate surgery.
The biggest block for William was that he thought having erectile dysfunction meant that he could no longer satisfy a woman in the bedroom. We focused on the intimacy evolution framework, explored the differences between men and women when it comes to desire, and came up with an intimacy action plan that William could implement in his day-to-day life.
Elizabeth didn't know how to resume physical intimacy after surgery and a long hiatus from sex.
Elizabeth's biggest block was that she didn't know what kind of physical intimacy she could offer, because she didn't know how her body worked now after her surgery. Adding to that the disconnection she felt from her husband, physical intimacy felt like a foreign concept. She took my Intimacy Confidence Comeback course with her husband and was able to come up with an intimacy action plan that fit her new, current reality.
