Pleasure as Medicine

Pleasure as Medicine is a free 5 day immersion of practice and teaching that supports you in (re)discovering your body and your sexuality and unlocking the power of pleasure as a healing force.

ACCESS NOW

Are you experiencing:

  • Lack of desire? Not feeling like your old self?
  • Tension in your relationship as a result?
  • A deep desire to step out of the life you created according to “the rules” when you were younger to live a life of passion and purpose?
  • Sexual re-awakening that is surprising you with its power?
  • An emotional or sexual affair or entanglement/situationship that you are in conflict about? That, you know, is perhaps not good for you or “right” but yet the power of it is so strong you succumb to it over and over again?


If any of these statements describe you, your sexuality is calling you.  It is the portal into the next chapter of your life.

Sex is how we got here.

It’s the most powerful force - bringing life into physical form.

It’s the mystery. The bridge.

And we generally don’t know what to do with this power (and are afraid of it) so collectively we have created strict rules and conditioning around it.

Many of us start to resist this box, especially in midlife.

The resistance to the box takes so many forms: lack of desire, increased desire, rushes of energy around creativity and purpose…

All of this is a calling.

A portal into the next version of yourself.

It’s a treacherous path, too. There are traumas, taboos and insecurities to be addressed.  

This makes the journey all the more precious.

Join me for five days as we tenderly unlock the power of pleasure for healing.

You will redefine sexuality and see the sexual nature of every moment.

You will learn practical tools to increase your life force energy and (re)connect to your body and your sexuality.

You will see a path to reconnect to your aliveness. When this happens every area of your life begins to shift.

And you will be guided to hear what your heart and soul are speaking through your experience of your sexuality.

Meeting you,

I shuddered,

fearing for my life.

Now I understand why.

Death has come

in the guise of the beloved.

The one I used to be is gone forever!

About your guide...

Alison Crosthwait, CFA

I am a former Wall Street trader and former psychotherapist. I have stepped away from licensure to commit myself fully to this powerful work because I believe it has the potential to have a significant impact on the next version of how human beings live on this planet.

My approach has three key aspects: 

Practical - we live in the world and this work is about our daily life. 

Therapeutic - trauma, attachment, relationships, emotional access - each of these lenses are key components of our healing and I bring my intensive training to bear on your process. 

Spiritual - through belonging and connection we become free. Opening to the natural world brings us into connection with our daily life in a renewed way and medicine work invites us into that process of opening.

Combined with intensive inner practice, medicine work has changed my life. The potential for opening, releasing, and connecting to all the juicy things we desire is beyond what words can state. And there is no end to that potential. For the right person at the right time, this work is a portal into life as it can be lived.
