Transforming the way we relate
to self ✴︎ to each other ✴︎ in community

Hello and welcome to The Pleasure Ethic.
The mission of The Pleasure Ethic is rooted in the belief that pleasure - that which brings us durable joy - is profoundly moral, and vital to our well-being.
Through culturally competent, trauma informed Relationship Coaching and pleasure based Sex Coaching & Education, my practice is dedicated to transforming how we relate to ourselves and each other, from the intimate to the social.

“In our work together, Elena has showed me the power of what ‘being seen’ feels like in my most vulnerable moments. It's amazing how therapeutic it can be to show yourself to somebody who is truly non-judgmental. I have been able to re-write my own narrative surrounding my idiosyncrasies and as a result feel more comfortable with my own unique life story.
Elena has an uncanny ability of keeping the attention of the session on my own therapeutic work while simultaneously bringing her own story into the equation at the perfect times. It's been incredibly helpful to have a practitioner who isn't scared of showing her own vulnerabilities.”
