Feel confident being intimate again

"Will I ever be touched again?" This is a refrain that keeps many of us awake at night. 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.

Do you miss being touched ... physically and emotionally?

I help people with permanent ostomies restore physical intimacy in their lives.

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.

I couldn't help it. I became obsessed with sharing what I've learned with others, which is why I post new reels 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

I had just ended a long-term relationship, survived prostate cancer with post op challenges and was thinking about re-entering the dating scene in my 60’s. I needed help. Trina has incredibly positive energy. She’s easy to talk to, intelligent and, knowledgeable. I learned to focus on how much I had to offer rather than what I didn’t. She provided me with a much-needed female perspective on intimacy, s*x, and what’s really important. This changed my perception of myself and gave me so much confidence. I would recommend Trina to anyone who struggles with intimacy, self-confidence, or a relationship. If you have a physical challenge and it’s affecting any of these, you must arrange a session with Trina. My new confident self is now dating, has made some new friends and I’m told, has become a pretty good dancer. I’ve never felt so desirable in the bedroom. None of this would have been possible without Trina.

William

I went to Trina to get coaching services because after being married for 12 years and then separated, I was mentally exhausted and just went to work and home to bed. I knew this was not healthy. So, when I found Trina, I booked a session right away. Trina talked to me about my situation and right away I felt comfortable with her. She was able to help me feel confident and learn to love myself. After seeing Trina a few times, I am now able to go out for coffee or dinner by myself, and I’ve started living life again. I highly recommend Trina as an intimacy coach for anyone that needs to feel like themselves again.

Tanya

I sought out Trina’s coaching because I was struggling with a lack of physical intimacy in my relationship.  From the very beginning, Trina provided a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where I felt safe, respected, and understood.  Her insight helped me reconnect with my sense of self-worth and approach relationships from a place of confidence and openness.  I would strongly recommend Trina to anyone seeking to deepen their emotional or physical intimacy and to rediscover a more fulfilling connection with themselves and others.

Joseph

After leaving a toxic, narcissistic relationship, I felt lost and disconnected from my sense of self. Trina’s approach is both direct and compassionate. She guided me with honesty, wisdom, and powerful, practical tools that helped me rebuild from the inside out. Through her support, I’ve rediscovered my confidence, strength, and belief in myself. My outlook on life has completely transformed. I now see possibility, growth, and hope everywhere. I wholeheartedly recommend Trina to anyone ready to reclaim their power and rise into the next, stronger version of themselves.
