About Brianna |
Brianna Carey is a Relationship & Intimacy coach with over 16 years of experience as a sexual health educator. After the birth of her son in 2015, she and her husband quickly realized the lack of support new parents have in nurturing their relationship after having a baby. Brianna works with women who are ready to reclaim their desire & to feel empowered in exploring their pleasure. Together with her husband, Mark, a Licensed Professional Counselor, they work with couples on how to create deeper connections, stronger communication and how to enjoy more fulfilling intimacy while raising their tiny humans.
