There is a version of this experience that begins and ends in the studio.
And there is a version that starts weeks before you arrive — and continues long after you leave.
For years, clients have arrived carrying more than just a session in mind.
They come with questions they haven't yet found the words for.
About connection.
About what intimacy could feel like if it were approached with real intention.
About what their bodies and their relationships might become.
That is why Susan now offers neuroscience-informed intimacy coaching as part of the Red Umbrella experience.
Drawing on her training as a qualified social worker, Somatica-trained intimacy coach, Board-Certified Sexologist, and neuroscience-informed coach, Susan now supports clients not just through the session — but through the deeper work that surrounds it.
Choose the pathway that feels right for where you are.
The Three Pathways
The Experience
The session as you know it. A full day in the studio — guided, unhurried, and held with complete care.
Professional hair and makeup. Guided intimacy. A curated image reveal, scheduled at the pace that serves you best.

The Connection Journey
For those who want more than a beautiful day.
Two coaching sessions before you arrive help you move through what you're carrying — blocks around vulnerability, intimacy, body image, or simply what you want to feel. Together, I'll help prepare your nervous system for genuine presence.
The session itself unfolds as it always does — held, guided, and shaped entirely around you.
One integration session afterward helps you name what shifted and build from it. A 6-week check-in holds you as the experience settles into your life.
This pathway is for the couple who senses there is something more available — and wants to arrive ready for it.

The Transformation Pathway
For those in the middle of something significant.
Perhaps you are navigating a season of distance — from each other, or from yourself. Perhaps intimacy has felt complicated for reasons that are hard to name. Perhaps you simply know that something needs to shift, and you want support doing that work with intention.
The transformation pathway offers three months of neuroscience-informed intimacy coaching, with the boudoir session as a milestone at the heart of it. Three sessions before. The day itself. Three sessions after. Ongoing support as you integrate what emerges.
The photographs become a record of who you were in this moment — after the work, before what comes next.
