About Annette

Annette Gates has dedicated her life to growth and transformation through relationship.  She has over 12 years of training and experience in life coaching, sexology, and healing.   Annette is a certified sexologist from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality.  She is a Brennan Healing Science Practitioner from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, a rigorous four-year institution that trains practitioners to combine hands on healing with deep psych-spiritual/transformation work.  She holds a B.A. in Political Science and Minor in Woman’s Studies.

Annette brings her depth of presence, powerful intentionality, and authenticity to her coaching sessions.  Utilizing her training in body-based healing modalities, tantra and sexology, she leads people through a journey of awakening and deepening into their unique sexuality.  She offers her clients a safe space to explore all aspects of themselves, free of shame, as they transform old patterns in relationship to new desired manifestations.  Annette is particularly talented in coaching clients through real-time experiences to balance union and individuation within intimate relationships for enhanced erotic health.  She created Intentional Love Making Circles TM (ILM Circles TM) to explore how the practice of intentional lovemaking and the movement of erotic energy aids in the manifestation of desires.
