Sheri Winston, CNM, RN, BSN, LMT

Teacher of Wholistic Sexuality and author of the award-winning book: Women's Anatomy of Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure

Founder & Executive Director of the Center for the Intimate Arts

“I'm inspired to catalyze radical sexual transformation for individuals, for our culture and for our world.”

Sheri is the founder and primary instructor of the Center for the Intimate Arts. She also provides Wholistic Sexuality Counseling for singles and couples. She’s a certified Nurse-Midwife, Gynecology Practitioner, Registered Nurse, and Licensed Massage Therapist, as well as a Writer and Artist.

Sheri’s purpose in life is to be an agent of transformation about sexuality. She offers empowering erotic education based on an innovative vision of Wholistic Sexuality™. This model is based on conscious connection with our sexuality as an integrated part of our selves and our lives. She is committed to deep integrity, personal responsibility and a reverence for pleasure. She delights in bringing more joy and pleasure to the world and in fully supporting everyone to access their ecstasy and power.

The Wholistic Sexuality™ curriculum includes over 40 classes, ranging from the truth about genital anatomy lectures to "clothes on" embodied ecstatic experiences, and everything in between. There is no nudity or sex in the classes. Most classes are for everyone, singles as well as partners, men and women of all orientations, inclinations and combinations.

Sheri's background: After devoting her first two decades to clinical care and teaching about birth, holistic healing, and women’s health, Sheri retired from clinical practice and turned her attention entirely to her sexuality work. For the last decade she has been teaching, counseling, working, writing and developing her model and the accompanying Wholistic Sexuality curriculum.

Look for her award-winning* book at www.intimatearts.com or Amazon.com -- Women's Anatomy of Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure -- which puts the heart (and other juicy parts) of her curriculum into an easily accessible, hot, fun book.

Sheri Winston has an extensive background in women’s health care as a certified nurse-midwife and gynecology practitioner, and in general and holistic health as a registered nurse, holistic healer and licensed massage therapist. She currently offers private consultation and coaching — in person or via phone or Skype — to men, women, singles and partners.
