HOLA !

Hi again, I’m Ingrid Ochoa, MPH, CHES—an Intimacy & Relationship Coach trained in the Somatica® Method. I’ve spent over 20 years blending public health savvy with sexuality education—and now, I’m all about bringing more pleasure, confidence, and connection into your life.

Here’s my journey, in bullet points you can actually stick with:

• Sexual health roots – Before teaching, I spent 10 years as a Sexual Health Specialist in a school health clinic and wellness center in San Francisco. During that time, I developed and implemented sexual health programs that impacted 30,000 university students.

• On the big stage – I’ve led workshops, presented at national conferences such as APHA, & ACHA, and collaborated with nursing departments and public health organizations throughout my career.

• Classroom to coaching – For 15+ years, as an Adjunct Faculty instructor at San Francisco State University, I taught courses in sexuality, public health, peer health, and woman’s health —breaking down complex ideas so folks feel seen, heard, and definitely not judged.

• Cultural fluency — As a first-gen Colombiana Latina/e, I’m passionate about serving people from all walks of life, crafting a warm, inclusive space where everyone can explore their sexuality and relationships safely.

• Pleasure-first coaching — My style is rooted in the Somatica® Method, which combines the mind-body connection with playful, experiential tools that center pleasure. Transformation doesn’t have to feel like a chore; it can be deeply joyful.

• Trauma-empowered sensibility — Somatica is not just “trauma-informed”—it’s trauma-empowerment, helping clients heal and move toward pleasure, rather than just coping.

• Non-judgment, always — I guide with empathy, directness, and curiosity—especially when the road gets messy.

• Your safe (and delightfully playful) space – I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you—or you and your partner—can express your desires, untangle what’s behind your blocks, and build practical tools for a sex life that feels joyful and real.

• Your journey, your pace – This work meets you where you are, with curiosity, empathy, and trust. Together, we'll break taboos, laugh at the awkward bits, and build practical tools for lasting intimacy and lean into pleasure as a path to deeper connection.
