Meet Marco

I believe that life’s value comes from creating meaningful connections. For some, it may feel effortless, but for others, it takes time, patience, and a bit of practice. In my professional experience, I learned firsthand how easy it is to be misunderstood and for conflicts to arise. I also learned how to listen and understand what others need to connect. Those experiences showed me how important it is to be present and open with others, and it has guided me toward the work I do now.

Alongside of my prior career as a lawyer, I have devoted my time to organizing communities which support individuals exploring and practicing non-monogamy and alternative relationship structures. Through these communities, I gained a deep understanding of individual needs within relationships. This has helped me grow in how I communicate about intimacy, feelings, and connection. I believe that healthy connections require trust and compassion, and that everyone deserves a space where they feel heard and accepted. My passion lies in creating spaces—big and small—in which others can feel safe to explore, grow and find their joy. My ability to feel deeply and connect with others is the foundation of how I support and guide them. With empathy and patience, I help others find their own security and comfort, allowing them to identify and address their core needs.

If the idea of finding freedom through intimacy and sexuality feels like something distant or difficult, please know that we can work together to explore it. Over the last decade, I have helped people who have faced shame, confusion, or uncertainty in their relationships, sexuality and self-image. My approach combines what I have learned through personal experiences and thorough training to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for growth.

You deserve to have a place where you can be vulnerable without fear. You deserve to practice and experiment with someone focused on supporting you and your needs. Whether you are exploring non-traditional relationships or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to offer a space where you can grow, heal, and gain confidence. Gaining access to intimacy can feel like a challenging journey, but I am here to walk beside you as a patient and understanding guide.
