Hi, it's great to meet you! I'm Alex.
Professional certified Sex & Intimacy Coach.
Internationally trained Yoga & Tantra Teacher.
Sex Educator and Event Facilitator.
Owner of Emerald Hayley Sensual Wellness.

Childhood me was an extraordinarily imaginative and zestful little being. I engaged with life like I was the main character of a fantasy novel; running through the woods like a little forest elf, talking to animals, pretending to be a magic wielding sorceress, and exploring creepy dark hallways thrilled by the chance to experience something supernatural.
Fast forward to adult me and you'll meet a slightly more practical, grounded version of the above, but that lust for magic is still there...and it's probably why I fell so gleefully hard into the worlds of Yoga, Tantra, and Erotic Embodiment because they are systems that allow you to truly experience magic in the real world.
Apart from wishing I was Yennefer of Vengerberg or Arwen Undómiel, I am unwaveringly fulfilled by a few things: learning about sex & relationships, teaching about sex & relationships, and helping guide others into lives of profound intimacy.
emeraldhayley sensual wellness is the conduit through which I can share with you the amalgamation of my academic knowledge and relentless self-fuelled passionate pursuit of all things relating to eros♥

My Academic Journey
After studying Psychology at the University of Alberta, I moved across the world, travelling all throughout New Zealand(yes, because of LOTR), and Southeast Asia. During my time abroad, I fell in love with yoga and the profound internal shifts I’d begun experiencing through my practice. Upon returning to Canada, I expanded my affinity for yoga by completing my first 200-hour teacher training. I later travelled to Bali for further certification in a 300-hour training specializing in yoga’s influence on death, sexuality, and wealth. Soon after, I received my Trauma-Informed certification through a remarkable program on healing sexual trauma through yoga. My education in yoga has furthered through specialized trainings in meditation, yin, and anatomy. Feeling inspired by the influence of eastern practices and spirituality on sexual healing and empowerment, I enrolled in the VITA training program, a comprehensive certification program resulting in the credential of Sex & Relationship Coach. I spent 2+ years immersed in the teachings of western psychology (immersed in the theories and application of CBT, IFS, Gestalt therapy, Attachment theory, and more) and an experiential deep dive into the eastern tradition of Tantra, along with elements of Taoism and Buddhism. In the VITA training, I majored in Conscious Dating and Life Transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your workshops, events, or private sessions involve nudity or sexual contact?
As the educator/mentor, I do not engage in nudity or sexual contact with clients/attendees.
There are circumstances where partial nudity of the attendee/client(s) may be permitted (for example during self-love rituals) or in cases where it makes appropriate sense for the growth/healing process(this process requires explicit consent and a liability agreement).
There are some contexts with which physical (nonsexual) contact may be permitted in session between myself & a client/attendee (such as during demonstrations in a massage workshop or anatomical assists during a tantric yoga class).
There are some contexts with which sensual contact may be permitted between partners in a private educational session.
Please email me if you have any questions on this matter!
I don't feel comfortable learning about sex/relationships in group settings, do you offer private classes?
Yes! Please reach out to me at the CONTACT page if there is a certain workshop or topic you'd like to learn in a private setting.
