Entretien

• Quel est ‘L'effort Supplémentaire’ que vous faites dans votre vie?
  By viewing myself as the only competition. Accountability, transparency, honesty, integrity, discipline: by prioritizing these values in a day-to-day, process-oriented fashion, I am committing to self-improvement. Such a commitment inevitably associates you with others in the midst of success.
• Racontez-nous la meilleure expérience que vous avez jamais eue.
  My favorite and most memorable experiences tend to be personal, spiritual and subjective. As I age, increasingly my favorite experiences are culminations, the experience itself subtle: getting accepted into CSU-SB and graduating with my undergrad in Psychology; getting accepted into graduate school; launching my careers in yoga, personal training and astrology; and the simple but satisfying feeling of accomplishment after a personal yoga practice.
• Si nous nous asseyions sur la plage à boire du vin et à déguster des gourmandises juste toi et moi, que me dirais-tu de toi-même et de ta vie?
  Well, that depends what you would ask me! I'm not one to launch into narcissistic diatribes!
  
  I've lived a varied life: ESPN journalist, Texas Hold 'Em poker professional, now sex worker and entrepreneur. I'd say I've walked a road of personal authenticity, gaining a hard-earned spirituality.
• Racontez-nous un peu plus sur vous, si vous devriez choisir quelque chose que vous voudriez que les autres sachent absolument sur vous que serait-elle?
  I live a simple, minimalist, disciplined life.
  
  I read often, both fiction and non-fiction.
  
  I enjoy staying up-to-date on the ways of the world, be it sports, politics, technology or medicine.
  
  And, while curious, I am not nosey! I respect privacy, and while I view myself as a personable fellow, I never cross the line into getting into your business or requesting details you may not be comfortable divulging.
• Qu'est-ce que les autres devraient absolument savoir sur vous?
  Clients should know that, first of all, I am a real person. That means the Golden Rule shall be just as efficaciously applied to me as it would to anyone else.
  
  Secondly, I trust and value every client; whether I see them once or regularly, I remember each and every one. The experiences are what I treasure.
  
  Finally: lighten up! There's no judgment here. I'm open to any dialogue, and while I do have my boundaries and limits, anything which I choose to partake in is, by definition, consensual and something which I enjoy.
  
  So have at it!

• Quels sont vos passe-temps, qu'est-ce que vous aimez faire dans votre temps libre?
  I live a disciplined, almost plainly ascetic, lifestyle. My "vanilla" life includes daily Ashtanga yoga practice, personal training, astrological consultations, teaching, and psychological training and study as a graduate student. Freud once said "life is work and love," and I love my work and consider that the foundation of my life. More recently I've fallen in love with researching and investing in cryptocurrency, as well as starting up a Zen meditation practice.
  
  If we exclude any work whatsoever, "fun" for me consists of art, especially music. I also enjoy spending time in nature -- especially the beach! -- and experiencing tea with friends and new acquaintances.
• Que voudriez-vous que vos lecteurs sashent sur vous qui est unique et même un peu personnel?
  I approach my sessions with psychological mindfulness, granting whomever I am with my full attention and presence. Currently pursuing graduate work in Mental Health, I consider my work akin to sex therapy rather than a hedonistic, fulfilling session. While I do not see anything wrong with the latter -- and, indeed, have enjoyed such sessions with prior clients -- I now consciously engage with clients interested in more than a purely carnal, physical act.
  
  The following article is a strong encapsulation of my "bedside demeanor," so to speak:

• Quel régime alimentaire et de remise en forme suivez-vous?
  I eat ~90% organic and am abstinent from any type of drugs, caffeine, marijuana or alcohol. I lift weights 1-2 times per week and practice yoga 6-8 times per week. I eat whole, fresh, healthy foods until I am full. I'm typically in bed by 10PM -- early to bed, early to rise!
• Que faites-vous pour vous amuser?
  Staying active through yoga and resistance training.
  
  Seeking knowledge through great books, courses, lectures, seminars.
  
  Learning culture, traveling and exposing myself to experiences I would otherwise consider foreign, such as museums, exhibits, and people from all walks of life.
  
  Art! Listening to music, exploring photography and scenery, and spending time in nature.
• Que diriez-vous sont vos plus grands attributs et/ou spécialité/s/?
  I'm perceptive and compassionate. I stand up for my integrity and politely but firmly set boundaries. I make a concerted effort to cultivate daily gratitude.
• À quelle fréquence voyagiez-vous? Préférez-vous voyager ou êtes-vous plutôt casanier?
  I travel as much as the opportunity presents itself! I prefer to unwind from my day by staying at home, listening to podcasts, reading books, taking hot baths, and conversing with trusted associates. While financially conservative, I am always open to travel if the accomodations make sense.
• Qu'est-ce que vous aimez le plus chez vous?
  Developing patience and contemplative acceptance; being of service to the world; creating sacred moments within the mundane habits of everyday life.
• Quelles sont les particularités de votre mode de vie qui fait de vous la personne que vous êtes?
  I am a practicing Ashtanga yogi, a counseling astrologer, a writer, a teacher, and a forever student. I'm pursuing grad school for Clinical Mental Health, with an emphasis on Sex Therapy. I am the sum of my experiences, intimately experienced with struggle and triumph. I've suffered from addiction and homelessness and triumphed in traditional metrics of success (the youngest-ever journalist for ESPN). I share my intimate gifts with worthy clients who understand respect given is respect earned.
• Qu'est-ce qui vous distingue de toutes les autres personnes que vous connaissez?
  Humans have an innate ability to recognize truth and authenticity. I attract real because I am real, relating with people from all walks of life in an authentic manner. I give my best in every experience of life. I am thoughtful and intentional about how I spend my time. I am a spiritual being having a human experience. I bring my divine connection with spirit into each and every one of my interactions!
• Quelle est votre «Niche»?
  I'm a Sacred Courtesan, granting my clients full acceptance of their kinks and desires. I pride myself in establishing an authentic, safe environment where, within the sphere of our established boundaries, we are able to co-creatively explore a deeper level of intimacy and connection.
