HELLO!
I'm Dalia
(She, Her, Ella)
I am the founder of Sexual Canvas. As a board-certified sexologist and expert in sex and relationships, my mission is to empower individuals of all genders and sexual orientations in discovering their sexual health and fostering meaningful connections with themselves and their partners. I am passionate about promoting inclusivity and ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and safe in exploring all aspects of their sexuality. Join me on a journey towards sexual self-discovery and fulfillment.
It can be daunting to navigate a new area, and there's a lot of pressure to have everything figured out. As a result, you may feel alone, disconnected, and uncomfortable. You may have a vision for your relationships but feel like you're stuck on the edge of discovery, unsure how to move forward.
But you don't have to go it alone. I'm here to provide support and guidance, helping you overcome any obstacles and achieve your goals. By working together, we can explore the world of sex and intimacy, and find ways to talk about it that feel comfortable and natural. Let's take this journey together and create a fulfilling, joyful sex life that lasts a lifetime.
Sexual Canvas
Our Intimacy wellness company is built on social innovation and four core principles: inclusivity, modern-day intimacy, evidence-based information, and conscious sexuality.
It's a community that's dedicated to exploring the complexities and diversity of human sexuality. Our mission is to break down the stigmas and taboos that have traditionally surrounded this fundamental aspect of our lives and provide a platform for open and honest discussions.
Through a combination of scientific facts, real-life experiences, and engaging conversations, we paint a comprehensive and vibrant picture of human sexuality. We believe that by doing so, we can empower individuals to connect with their sexuality and create more fulfilling, joyful relationships.
What is coaching
- Coaching, including sex coaching, aims to empower the client.
- A sex coach provides assessment but not diagnosis.
- Sex coaching focuses on future outcomes and results based on the client's goals and desires.
- Positive reinforcement is used to support the client's dreams, wishes, goals, and desired outcomes.
- The sex coach acts as a guide to help the client overcome sexual blocks in thinking, feeling, and behavior without pathologizing the client or using a top-down hierarchical style.
- Sex coaching typically involves a short period, with some clients resolving their concerns in one or two sessions, while others may require several weeks or months if bodywork is involved.
- The client is an active collaborator in the journey toward their goals, and participation is emphasized over a passive or dependent relationship.
I created my methodology for sex coaching by integrating various techniques through my Intimacy Intentional Model ®. I provide sex coaching that explores desires, boundaries, and pleasure with the body as a guide. My approach is both theoretically informed and practically effective, as I have adapted and combined techniques from various schools of sex therapy, education, and counseling, including cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive, behavioral, psychoanalytic, voice dialogue, Gestalt, intuitive, ego states, somatic, and sensate focus therapies, as well as mindfulness practices and other non-traditional methods like Tantra. By drawing from these diverse sources, I offer a comprehensive approach to sex coaching tailored to each client's unique needs. Together, we build a practice that helps clients notice, value, and communicate their desires and boundaries, so they can make empowered choices about their sex life. Even if sex is not their preference, I offer non-sexual intimacy coaching that helps clients find pleasure.
Our podcast provides a safe and inclusive space for people of all adult ages, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to come together and learn from one another. We encourage you to grab your paintbrush and join us on this journey of self-discovery and growth. Together, we can celebrate the power of human sexuality and create a masterpiece that reflects the true diversity and beauty of our world.

- In todays word , individuals of all genders and sexual orientation have an unprecedented opportunity to pursue the love life that feels most authentic to them. However, navigating this path can be challenging, as there are many relationship alternatives to consider and social norms are constantly evolving, which can make it difficult to determine what is socially acceptable. Moreover, misinformation and lack of knowledge can cause confusion and complicate the decision-making process.
- Given that love and sex are not a one-size-fits-all solution, it can be challenging to figure out what's right for each individual, especially if their desires fall outside the box. This is where my sexual canvas courses and consulting practice comes in. Using scientifically sound principles, these resources can help individuals discern between noise and signal, answering questions and offering guidance to build a healthy, confident, and fulfilling love life.
As a course's creator I strive to provide the most up-to-date, accurate information to those who seek assistance. Furthermore, as a nonconformist myself, I ensure that I will never judge individuals for their desires. By seizing control of their love lives, individuals can build a future that they may not have thought possible..
Human psychology is not a dichotomy, but rather a spectrum where everything exists.
I firmly believe that incorporating mindfulness into our sexual experiences is essential. When we focus on being present in the moment, it heightens our physical sensations, strengthens our bond with our partner, and minimizes any distractions that may hinder our sexual pleasure.
Human sexuality is not black and white.
it is a spectrum of colors, shades, and nuances. By speaking honestly and compassionately with one another, we can appreciate the incredible diversity of our desires and experiences.
