Who I Am & Why That Matters to You

My Mission Is to Guide You to Sexual Wellbeing and Professional Growth

As the pioneer of the field of Sex Coaching, my mission has always been to empower individuals, couples, and professionals alike to celebrate sexual wellness and achieve their full potential. 

Whether you are seeking to overcome sexual challenges, embark on a career as a sex coach, or take your sexological career to the next level, I am here to support you on your journey. 

Let the “Mother of Sex Coaching” be your guide

With over 35 years of experience as a leader in sexology and sexual enhancement, I have developed effective strategies and techniques to help people resolve their sexual concerns… to help aspiring sex coaches launch successful careers… and to help seasoned sexological professionals scale their practice and 10x their impact.

Why Me

I’ve been a professor, trainer, and leader in the field of sexology with an emphasis on sexual enhancement for over 35 years. Over that time, I’ve gained invaluable experience working with many types of people and situations. People of all ages and demographics who suffer from a range of sexual concerns –from sexual dysfunctions to total relationship breakdowns — rely on me as their guide.

As a Certified Sex Coach, I’ve been blessed to impact the lives of thousands of individuals and couples through:

  • Client sessions
  • Couples sexual enhancement DVD or streaming programs
  • Live retreats
  • Couples intensives
  • Concierge services to sexual and erotic venues

As the pioneer of the new and growing field known as Sex Coaching, I authored the very first book on sex coaching, The Art of Sex Coaching: Expanding Your Practice (2005), which serves as the foundation for my own global online training institute at SexCoachU.com, founded in 2010.

As a trainer, I enjoy providing:

  • Week-long clinical skills trainings
  • Pioneering workshops
  • Weekend intensives
  • 1:1 Mentorship
  • Elite mastermind group
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Customized business strategies

My expertise has been featured in numerous media outlets and at international and national sexology conferences.

My Story

My passion for helping others overcome sexual challenges began with a strong desire and commitment to heal myself. I, too, have felt the pain of a sexless relationship, loved and lost, overcome the shifting tides of cultural norms around sex and gender, coped with the ravages of living in the body of a 75+ postmenopausal woman.

When I lost my daughter to HIV/AIDS in 2004, I learned what it takes to move from grief and shame and into living life FULL OUT. I’ve done the dating and long-term relationship thing and I know what it means to have true authentic intimate relating and sexual ecstasy.

In 2017, without warning, I lost my soul mate, my beloved Dr. Robert. We lived the dream of fulfilling our mission of training sexologists around the world by promoting sexual healing through our training programs at Sex Coach U. I miss him greatly. But life–and our legacy–goes on.

What keeps me going

I’ve studied from the top gurus in the world on sex, life, love, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness. Now I’m living my passion by helping others find their own joy and ecstasy in connection with themselves and others. It’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Beyond all the formal education and training, I think of myself as a healer with an intuitive gift when it comes to the nature of our sexual being. As a sex coach and a trainer, I become a container for others to heal, learn, grow and expand. That’s why I do what I do; it’s an honor to create a unique opportunity for others to heal and discover their true sexual potential.

May you get to experience the joy of deep connection and intimacy that is your birthright.

My Books

Britton shows therapists and counselors how to move their practices fully into sex coaching or simply integrate sex coaching techniques for encouraging sexual self-understanding, growth, and pleasure into their existing therapeutic work.

Based in the empirical science of sexology and adapted for practitioners looking to enrich their work and enlarge their client base, The Art of Sex Coaching covers what professionals need to know in order to participate in this exciting new field of sex coaching.

This professional guidebook and training manual introduces the Sexual Attitudes Reassessment and Restructuring (SAR) training program for professionals working in the broad field of sexology. The authors, who have led 55 SAR training programs in seven different countries, provide an overview of the history and modern day context of SARs along with a practical guide for SAR leaders. This book is necessary reading for clinicians and educators who wish to offer SAR training programs or integrate “The SAR Approach” into their practice.

HER is the charming tale of a happy, sexy woman-of-the-world, and her adventures in the art of love. HER is the “Wonder Woman” of eroticism, showing how women may determine the course of their own sexual destiny.
