About Jessica


Pleasure to meet you!

I am Jessica Idoine, LMFT, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who helps relationships/couples and individuals navigate intimacy, desire, communication, and repair with warmth, non-judgment, and evidence-based tools.

My work is especially supportive for people navigating complex relationship dynamics and marginalized groups, including LGBTQIA+ clients, ethically non-monogamous relationships, kink and BDSM communities, and neurodivergent couples, with an emphasis on consent, safety, and affirming care.

Alongside clinical work, I am the founder of Expansive Connections Retreats, where I bring therapy-informed frameworks into immersive, embodied experiences that help couples practice new patterns in real time through guided conversations, somatic connection, and intentional presence.

For decades, somatic practices have been central to how I understand connection and regulation. I am trained to teaching yoga, Pilates, and dance conditioning, and I love partner-based practices like partner yoga and dance that invite couples to experience trust, communication, and co-regulation through movement.
