More Testimonials for Veronica’s Professional Advice and Relationship Coaching:
 What attracted me [to your services] was your unflinching intelligence, your compassion, your toughness, and your breathtaking intuition. It was clear that you were a person who offered results. I was also able to perceive your energy, though I didn't know what to call it at the time. But you felt safe. . . . What you offer is extremely personal, even more so than ordinary counseling. . . You also offer me the advantages of the confessional and friendship. I consider this three-for-one deal to be extremely worthwhile. I have not encountered it before. You have helped me in many ways: with compassion, with knowledge, with the toughness to challenge my baloney as it becomes appropriate. But mostly you have helped me to face the issues of shame that I have brought to you. As the Adult Survivors of Child Abuse describes it, "Shame is that part of you that you can't face because it is so intolerable." You have helped me face my shame issues, one at a time, and take possession of each so that I can accept what is real and rearrange the consequences to my own satisfaction. Each success frees a part of me that was in some sense crippled. I am so grateful for the space of safety you create and hold for me that makes this possible. I consider what you offer me to be in many ways sacred. I'm not entirely sure how that can be and am fast learning not to care . . .

I actually consider the service I pay you for as COUNSELING. (Yes - I said "counseling.") The reason I utilize you is that with your experience and expertise, and your specialization as a sex educator, I feel that I can process some of my issues, which as I 'm sure you can appreciate are not often well received in mainstream mental health circles . . . I'm comfortable being honest with you about my curiosity, fantasies, and consider the information to be relatively accurate and valuable. Our consultations are helping me to normalize and validate my curiosity and interests about sex workers; especially about the idea that sex workers actually do have a therapeutic role which they fulfill for many clients who have sexual and emotional wounds. Although they would not be accepted as such by the mainstream mental health and social service community, many sex workers are actually practicing in positive and normalized venues in which their clients are being therapeutically served at some level, which would be difficult for them to access in clinical therapeutic environments - mostly because of transference and counter-transference issues rooted in the prevalent sex negative values in our society. The view of sex workers by clinical professionals is in serious need of reconsideration . . .

Oh Veronica! You have helped me most of all just by being really clean with your energy. You have a *lot* of passion -- which gives you a lot of power -- and you have kept it clean with a loving honesty that is all too rare. It's a healing catalyst. Of course the breathing etc. exercises are great, but your integrity is what really makes it work . . .

You are truly a priestess and therapist - and I'm touched by your warmth and loving acceptance. What I especially love about you is how you've evolved the work of Sacred Prostitute from an escort context to what you do now. All of my interactions with you have been catalytic in creating some kind of a shift for me in my inner spirit. Thank you . . .

I call [what you do] counseling or advice. If challenged to come up with a better, sexier name, I guess you might refer to it as relationship repair counseling, or sexual chemistry counseling. Veronica, you afforded me a rare opportunity to really get to know what is going on in the mind of the opposite sex in a critical point in that relationship. It was invaluable, insightful, and very useful to come at the problem from a completely different approach. Some of what you spoke just has the wisdom of the ages, and some is as fresh as the words of the latest hip-hop club scene. Also, it was just downright fun to talk with you at a very difficult time in my life. Thanks ever so much . . .
