Sexual wellness coach Kim Anami has encountered couples with a range of intimacy problems. But one of the most dispiriting things for her as a coach is hearing from people who feel their sex life is dead. “Sex really is the glue in relationships,” Anami said. “It’s one major way that differentiates the closeness we have with others in our lives.”
While intimacy isn’t the only thing that matters in a relationship, it’s certainly important, and something couples tend to lose the longer they are together. Because sex can be a culturally taboo subject, people in long-term relationships may feel uncomfortable telling their partners a difficult truth: They aren’t sexually satisfied.
Anami set out to change this by promoting candid conversations about sexual connection. The entrepreneur and wellness guru focuses on helping people discover their sexual truths while encouraging couples to explore intimacytogether. When pursued authentically, Anami believes sexual expression is the natural glue that keeps relationships together.
The Perils of Undervaluing Sexual Connection in Relationships
Anami thinks downplaying the importance of healthy sex can have detrimental effects on other parts of a relationship. “It really is the most important connecting factor in your relationship with your partner,” she said. By addressing the incorrect programming couples have received, Anami aims to change the way sexual partners interact with each other.
Beyond a means for a deeper connection between couples, Anami believes sex is a way for individuals who are part of those couples to live more satisfied and fulfilling lives. She reminds her clients that sexuality is natural and essential, despite messages from society saying it shouldn’t be discussed. “[Sexual energy] becomes your superpower fuel, your secret weapon in life, because it will uplift and send creative energy into every single thing that you do.”
Kim Anami’s Pursuit of Sexual Empowerment for All
Anami is a pioneer in the holistic sex and relationship-coaching industry because of her views on the importance of sexual exploration and discussion. In her previous role as a life coach, Anami heard from couples about their challenges with sex and intimacy. During these sessions, she realized having honest conversations with clients about sex could help improve their lives outside of the bedroom, too.
Anami’s brand embraces the sexy, playful, and intelligent aspects of intimacy. Her online sex and relationship school offers resources, discussions, and forums that encourage clients to be honest with themselves about their sexual needs. She helps individuals come back to a place of genuine intimacy with their partners through humor, honesty, and creativity.
Anami helps partners come at their intimacy problems with honesty. Only then does she believe people can move forward physically and emotionally. “If I think that they’re telling themselves a bit of a self-protection lie, I’m going to call it out,” she said.
In the end, Kim Anami’s mission is to help people tap into their sexual energy so it can bring growth and abundance into their lives. “They get propelled forward with a certain kind of momentum out into the world because their creative life force is now just hungering to express itself, and it moves them in their lives, and in their businesses, and in every aspect of their world.”
