Centered Sexuality

Educate . Empower . Explore

I developed CenteredSexuality to empower and support others to be intentional and authentic in their sexuality, and cultivate fulfilling and transformational experiences in their erotic lives.

It's because of my own profound, life-changing experiences that I wanted to move into this field and play a role in this work; supporting folx in reclaiming their sexual selves is the most powerful force on earth.

It sucks to feel frustrated, disconnected or dissatisfied- especially when things look “great” from the outside. After taking care of everyone else, there’s little energy or effort left for you. Maybe you’ve been busy making sure all the other things are in place then surprised to find yourself at the bottom of the to-do list- maybe the dutiful and gracious thing is to celebrate other’s accomplishments, but it leaves you feeling unseen, deflated and small.

You want to feel empowered, appreciated and in the driver's seat- excited to live life, be seen and make your mark. Unapologetic for embracing who you are and what you want in every sense.

My Story

I was at the opening of a sensuality retreat in Iceland. I’d traveled a few thousand miles and was ready for the adventure of my life, and all I could do was sway. It seemed like everyone else had it figured out - do you know that feeling? Like they instinctively knew how to move and experience all the joys of their body. One of the facilitators invited us to “feel the music in your body and let it move…”

Meanwhile, all I could muster was shifting my weight from right to left and back. This really struck me because for most of my life (and previous career leading teen programs) I’d be the one getting others out on the dance floor. No shame in my game - I used to be able to get inner city teens from Baltimore to dance with suburban kids from NJ and they embraced those opportunities to engage, but at this point it was clear that I could barely engage with myself. I realized I had lost a deeply important part of my being.

In hindsight, I think I’d skipped over a lot of the early adulthood milestones in the name of responsibility, maturity and “doing the right thing”. I was married just shy of my 23rd birthday. By society’s standards I had made a “good choice.” My husband was mature, smart, driven, and generous. We knew we wanted to travel and do other “together” things before even thinking about starting a family, but something was always missing.

On paper we looked like a good fit and a happy couple, but in truth, we struggled with connection on many levels. He was rather conservative and “old fashioned” and resistant to seeking any form of support for our marriage or relationship - sexual or otherwise. I was strong in many areas of my life but in my marriage, I was having serious trouble advocating for myself and my needs, and I did the “go along to get along” thing...and things were “fine”.. not good, not great- just “fine”. A lot of what I had learned in my early life made me feel like I should not make waves and things weren’t “bad enough” to make any drastic changes or -heaven forbid- entertain the "D-word".

Even after years of my own talk therapy, something was still off; something deeper was driving me. I started looking for intimacy in the wrong places, trying to put a bandaid on it and grab moments of connection with close friends in similar situations. He found his own ways to escape. I was left dealing with my daughter's health crisis and continually putting my needs on the back burner. Something had to give

The decline and ultimate end of our marriage was a very long road with several twists and turns. Right before it was final, I found myself on that sensuality retreat in Iceland. I signed up as a sort of gift to myself. This turned out to be a huge underestimation. This was the beginning of my journey of reclaiming.

In that one decision to “treat myself” I gave myself the gift of ME,, and it has turned out to be the gift that keeps on giving...and it’s only getting better. I not only rediscovered the dancer in me, she was back to her old tricks and wound up co-hosting spontaneous dance parties for fellow retreat sisters. I had broken out of that shell I didn’t even know I was in…and I’m NEVER going back!

I had such a profound, life-changing and empowering experience that I wanted to play a role in this work; supporting clients reclaim their empowerment and access their sexual selves. I pursued training and attended additional retreats & workshops following that experience in Iceland which led me to develop my own approach to sexual transformation.

I’m a holistic sex educator, well versed in sexual health and sexuality as part of the whole human experience.
I’m a Somatica® trained sex & relationship coach, educated and experienced in the body’s language and its impact on our capacity for intimacy.
I’ve spent my career helping people identify their goals and strategically align them with their actions and choices.

"Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for Wendy. With her guidance and insightful perspective I gained a clarity on my sexuality, one I never thought imaginable."

Connie
"I worked with Wendy to connect with my more erotic side and she did not disappoint. She taught me that true eroticism first comes from your connection to self and for that I am grateful. Her insights are spot on and remarkable."

Esperanza
"Imagine someone who has an innate ability to intimately connect with and through her empathy, knowledge, intuition and intellect which enables you to open yourself to a deeper inner connectivity and sense of self. Imbue her with the quality of knowing when to listen and when to talk, when to embrace and when to allow space. Where imagination meets reality there is Wendy Leigh.
She was an excellent resource when, not long ago, I accidentally discovered something that made me suspect my son is gay, prior to him coming out to me. My interest was and is to have the relationship with him be one that he’ll feel comfortable in talking to me about it, if and when he chooses to do so. Wendy provided insight, perspectives and ideas that were just what I needed to hear, understand and include in my relationship with my son.
Sometimes life presents you with a path towards an increasingly enlightened, refreshed and fulfilled version of yourself, sometimes opportunity knocks. My suggestion is that you open the door, you’ll be glad you did. What’s on the other side is awesome."
