ABOUT Azaria Menezes

LET ME TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT ME

Okay, so who are you Azaria?

I’m a trauma-informed, sex, intimacy, and relationship coach. I absolutely love supporting folks in their journey to feeling empowered in love, re-discovering their exquisite pleasure and exploration into true intimacy. I consider myself a desire initiator and love to bring folks to their intimacy edges, whether it’s through my coaching work, expansive kink journeys, or private events and workshops!

I’m guessing you’re also here to find out who I really am and if I’m the right person to guide you on this journey.

Let’s get the good stuff out of the way;

My pronouns are She/Her/Hers, I’m a queer + kinky, cis woman, a mom of two, and a wife to a pretty epic husband living, working, and playing on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan People.

I’m pretty sure my first findings on the topic of sexuality was one of my mom’s Tantric Kamasutra books that I found on the bookshelf as a kid and from that moment on I was curious about sexuality and bodies, how people relate to one another and what the thing was that really lets people enjoy being in long-term relationships.

Although I grew up having a well-rounded awareness of Tantra (thanks to my mom’s Goan/Indian Roots) and sexuality and bodies and was pretty comfortable talking about it with my friends who would often ask me for advice, I never really knew what it meant to relate deeply with my partners, what it meant to really embrace pleasure in my own body, to state my desires whilst feeling empowered AF and mostly to have affirmed that a lot of the things I was feeling and wondering were normal.

This is the part where I would love to say that sexual abuse, trauma, abuse, PTSD, and anxiety were not part of my story, but they are.

In the beginning, these things led me to be destructive with my life, they led me to push my partners away when things would get too intimate and to feel a complete disconnect with my body during sex. I would avoid anything that made me feel vulnerable or any other feelings for that matter. But it was also these experiences that led me to the journey of showing up for myself, sitting with hard feelings like shame and fear, healing my nervous system, surrendering to real intimacy, and fully finding my body and pleasure in a way that felt empowering and orgasmic!

Over a decade of motherhood, therapy, personal development, movement studies continued studies in sexuality + Tantra, sexual education, Intimacy and sex specific certifications, training’s, breath work trainings, wellness practitioner certifications, Yoga teacher trainings, anti-racism courses + certifications, courses on sexuality, intimacy + relationships, trainings on creating safer spaces + trauma informed space holding, body based healing and shadow work, Domme Mentorship, holding Tantric rituals and teachings for couples, Teaching on the topics of BDSM + Kink, creating expansive Tantric kink + BDSM experiences, Sensual Pro-Domme experiences, on-going mentorship + peer supervision around intimacy, sex + relationship specific topics.

You can say I’ve done a lot of learning and I’ve had a colourful life.

It’s safe to say I’m a forever learner. Some of it has been ecstatic and some of it has been not so fun (but in a good, realizing your own shit kinda way) and I have to say I’ve become extremely passionate and serious about sharing the effective tools. I’ve spent countless hours getting certified in the topics of sex, intimacy, relationships and sexual healing. The mentors and teachers in my conscious sexuality and kink education journey have shaped who I am and I am forever grateful for their guidance and wisdom.

It does not end here :

I am a certified intimacy coordinatior for film and TV - yes, there is a lot of work behind all those intimate scenes you see on your favourite shows.

Additionally, I hold a Diploma in Movement Pedagogy(the study of movement), and a Diploma for Lab technician+Phlebotomy

Something interesting to know, is that I also I hold training in communications + sales and I love working in the corporate world. I rather enjoy roles like: Project Management, Corporate communications/sales etc and have spent many years making an impact in the work I do.

So you might see that there are a lot of things I thoroughly enjoy, and the underlying theme is a focus on people, a focus on relationships and understanding how we can connect all of our passions, parts of who we are in a way that feels good!

But with all that said, my passion lies in relationships + intimacy and now that you know a little more about me

I’d like to share one thing

Pleasure is our birthright and everyone deserves to experience a deeper connection to themselves and to love.

Sex, pleasure, and intimacy don’t have to be hard. I want you to feel connected, turned on, and radiant. I’m here to help support you to tap into whatever is holding you back so you can move into being empowered AF in your desires, love, and sex life!
