Hello new blog followers, future friends and clients: Step into a world where pleasure is celebrated, boundaries are honored, and gender fuckery is joyfully explored. I'm Ro Rose, somatic gendering coach and erotic steward. In this whimsical re-introduction post, we'll peruse some threads of the colorful tapestry of my life and work. Grab a cup of tea, settle into a cozy spot, and let's embark on this enchanting adventure together!
Chapter 1: A Ripple in Pronouns
Picture this: I'm adorned with a mischievous smile, navigating the world with an array of gendering swirls which leads many cis and trans folxs both, to incorrectly assume I was assigned male at birth. I often favor they/them pronouns as an invitation for inquiry and discourse. But here's the twist – I love to switch things up, adapting my pronouns to aid confusion. It sets a tone for the dance of courting inquisitiveness and playfulness, gifting me spaciousness to twirl through my kaleidoscopic ways of being.
Chapter 2: Unveiling Mindful Intimacy
Within my world, mindful intimacy is not just a concept; it's a way of life. Imagine joining me on a path where gendering is subverted as a salve that feeds the works of political revolt against sexism, and pleasure becomes a tools for broadened resiliancy in our resistance to societal norms. In our sessions, we build skills to navigate desires, befriend our discomforts, and increasing the elasticity of our nervous system to remain present with the trouble of navigating a world unlike that which we strive to birth. Whether it's solo play coaching, gender affirming surgical scar care, or somatic gendering guidance, the journey invites you to unabashedly wander with purpose.
Chapter 3: Embracing the Tapestry of Identity
I wear my identities like a vibrant mosaic, each piece adding depth and richness to my work. From being an Anglo, white, settler-immigrant with Slavic-Jew and Nordic-Welsh heritage to embodying a crone-in-training, rheostatic queer, and FtX of*trans*experience leather-dyke genderqueer: my tapestry is as eclectic as the path has been fascinating to traverse. My lived experiences and educational background infuse my offerings with a unique perspective. You can pop over to my about me page to get more granular with those details, or slide into my email with your specific questions.
Chapter 4: A Scarred Being
I love to share my tales of embracing scar tissue! The in/visible tensions of my trauma scars remind me to intentionally maintain an open heart in a world that brought me to such depths of strengths I didn't know were possible. My double mastectomy sparked a fascination in scar tissue physicality that has become an integral part of my hands-on work. Through specialized scar tissue training, I have woven pleasure and embodied consent into this remediation work, pursuing sensations that feel delicious, offer softening, and encourage elasticity. Reminders that our scars can be portals to renewed sensuality and self-love.
Chapter 5: Navigating Trauma, Illuminating Energetics
Within my soul lies a treasure trove of experiences that have shaped my understanding of trauma and subsequent resilience. From supporting homeless veterans to personal encounters with childhood mother loss, coming out as gay and losing everything, survival and empowering sex work, and many instances of rape, I have traversed deep valleys. I know the transformative power of being truly heard and held in our griefs and joys, as well as the bone depth resonance of mirrored eneretics. I offer that embodied wisdom as modeling through peer-to-peer support, inviting your own tools of resiliency as sanctuaries for self-compassion and encouragement of enlivening mindfulness practices.
