About Me
Susan Coates is a sex and relationship coach who has worked with hundreds of clients--individuals, couples, and groups--to fully experience and express their desires in sex and relationships through on-the-ground, body-based, experiential coaching.
She has been featured in Marie Claire magazine and speaks on panels, in universities, and on podcasts about topics such as healing sexual shame, women’s sexual empowerment, hot consent, custom-fit relationships, and successful polyamory.
She runs group events including Intimacy Salons, Men’s Desire Club, and women's empowerment groups, and is featured by the Somatica® Institute (Berkeley, CA) as a faculty member in addition to being a featured regional practitioner in Colorado.
Susan also serves as a keynote speaker at conferences on intimacy and women's empowerment.
In her spare time, Susan loves to write, dance, bike, bake bread, enjoy sex, grow food, adventure with her 13 year-old son, and engage in her communities.
Susan works online and in person out of her home office in Denver, Colorado.

"She doesn't make me want me to be a better person. She makes me want to be a better me." --Kara Ann M.

“Susan is a one-of-a-kind woman who has a magical way of connecting. She is able to lead without being authoritarian, guide without taking away others’ voices, and make every single one of us feel like we matter. She’s a wise one and I’d highly, highly recommend working with her in any way possible because you will walk away feeling fuller and more whole.” --Amy Progrebin Bremenstuhl
What my clients are saying...
"I have worked with Susan as a coach in several contexts: relationship, sexuality, and business, and have been so impressed by her work in all of these contexts! Susan has an ability to track the small stuff, allowing me to have a bigger understanding of how I operate and integrate more into my learning. In my relationship coaching sessions with her and my partner, we have made more headway in a few sessions than we did in months without her. She is caring and supportive in all of the ways. She's comfortable with the edgy stuff about sexuality that not everyone can handle. I highly recommend her and appreciate how she holds me to my deepest growth." --Caitlin A.
New to the modern dating scene after many years married, what I’ve loved most about working with Susan is the way she invites me to experience our sessions as a “working laboratory”. Role-playing different dating scenarios, clothes-on touching, and helping me get out of my head and more into my somatic energy. Big fan of Susan Coates! --Paul S.
"During our coaching sessions together, Susan guides me into the heart and belly space where I can find my own answers. Her sessions strike a balance between exploring intuition and practicality that I love. Susan has definitely helped me bring greater awareness and new possibilities into my life." - Lea Y.
