Pleasure Sage | Emeryville, Oakland, San Francisco, CA | Sage
I’m Sage – a college-educated environmental justice advocate pursuing continued education at the intersection of trauma therapy, bodywork, and human sexuality. I specialize in working with clients who have limited sexual experience, are survivors of childhood trauma, identify as neurodivergent, struggle with body image and chronic shame, and/or are looking to explore expansiveness in their gender and/or sexuality.
I prioritize creating a welcoming non-judgmental container for you to express your desires, safely explore the edges of your comfort zone, and sit with vulnerable emotions. My approach is acceptance-based, consent-forward, trauma-informed, queer-affirming, kink-friendly, justice-oriented, and client-centered. I welcome clients of all ages (18+), genders, orientations, ethnicities, body sizes, and physical abilities.
Something that makes me unique is that I bring my full authentic self – quirky, playful, silly, embodied, curious, thoughtful, intellectual – to our sessions. Instead of serving up a widely-palatable caricature, I strive to be deeply genuine, present, and attuned, creating a container that welcomes and celebrates you in showing up without pretense to explore what’s alive in your mind, body, and soul today.
I incorporate a wide array of modalities into our sessions depending on your goals. Our time together may involve therapeutic somatic exercises, mindfulness-based breathwork, exploring thoughts and feelings, affectionate touch, and sexual connection. In addition to formal training, my practice is informed by my personal study of tantra, kink, yoga, somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), contact improvisation, and ecstatic dance.
My focus on working with a small number of repeat clients allows me to understand your unique needs and tailor my approach accordingly, tackling specific sexual, emotional, and/or relational challenges you may be experiencing. For those with limited sexual experience or particularly daunting hurdles around intimacy, I’m trained to collaborate with your talk therapist within the triadic model as a surrogate partner – a 3-12 month commitment following a more structured curriculum. Conversely, I also occasionally have openings for single-session one-way full-body tantric erotic massage.
Location
I work out of two private studios, one in Oakland near Ashby BART and the other in Emeryville. Both have ample street parking and a bathroom equipped with a hot shower and fresh towels.

“I appreciated your eager willingness to play with pain & power as per my request. You clearly have a strong sense of intuition when not guided but were communicative when it felt attuned to me to verbally connect. You easily inhabit the role of giver without anxiety or confusion.”
