Care Work is….
Whole-hearted liberation. Conflict transformation. Transexual joy. Practicing boundaries, consent, and negotiation. Erotic embodiment. Personal growth free from moralism and shame. Community accountability. Authentic presence. Building genuine community brick by brick. Where imagination meets implementation. Honoring our ancestral lineages with purpose and power.
Care work is my work. About fifteen years ago, I began peer counseling in the harm reduction world and started building what has now become a career of service to community. I’m motivated by a sharp and selfish hunger to live in a world where our cups are full.
EroSomatic Touch. Somatic Coaching. Facilitation & Consulting for Groups.
We are always practicing something.
How I work:
- Slow and somatic. For many of my clients, big shifts do happen quickly…. and this is because in our time together, we actively slow down. We slow down our breath so that we can take in more air and pay attention to the realities of our bodies. Our capacity for pleasure expands when our pace lengthens. No matter where you are when you’re reading this, I invite you now to breathe a little more fully, a little more slowly.
- Trauma-informed and tenacious. My practice is supported by over fifteen years of vast and frequently relevant experience, from sexual health education to emergency response to community accountability facilitation. This broad range is balanced by a clear and grounded core: I am led by and consistently return to the intentions, goals, and priorities you speak to me.
- Professional and purposeful. What this means to me is that I follow a clear Code of Ethics & Boundaries, I stay connected with an Accountability Squad, I am held by other care professionals with whom I co-create community standards. I do not lie to myself if I am not capable of serving you, instead, I refer you to another care provider.

Let’s begin:
Pleasure is the seed and the flower.
Clients say…
Kyrr is a gentle, playful wizard. His emotional intelligence and cumulative life experiences have imbued him with the most uncanny, yet calming pattern recognition.
so says multi-disciplinary artist Meredith Yayanos.
Kyrr has the ability to meet you where you are in a very therapeutic and healing environment, being super intentional with every touch, while also honoring what you feel in the moment. I left the session feeling refreshed, relaxed and restored. Kyrr’s practice is a very intentional blend of body and spirit work. It was also bespoke and tailored to my unique and specific needs.
so says bodywork recipient CJ
Kyrr is compassionate, tapped in, and deeply insightful. His ability to distill essential truths from short bits of conversation was truly astounding.
so says Bevin Morgan, founder, The Salon ATL.
Kyrr actually keeps you on track. They are able to truly hear you, and not only challenge you in new ways but remind you of the growth and evolution along the way when needed. I have made real strides during our short time together.
so says coaching client Ren.
Kyrr gently and powerfully coached me about visiting my home state after I fled trauma, hardship, violence. After 25 years away, thanks to Kyrr’s preparations and exercises, I was able to return for a visit, make peace with where I came from, be with these important places, grieve, and bring my younger self home with me in my heart.
so says Michelle C. (they/them)
I felt so cared for, seen, and considered when we met. We discussed some very difficult topics and you were able to witness subtle changes in my body, breath, and mood then offer me appropriate support to work through the moment. But while you supported me you gently nudged me to push through my feelings to get closer to the core energies at play in my thoughts, feelings, actions. I left my session feeling highly reflective, more aware of my body, and fully supported.
so says comrade S.
You deserve to be held. Competently.
Healing is not compatible with capitalism.
I am not waiting for a radical future in which my work can be accessible. Now, in the present day, I offer free and low-cost sessions. I actively practice community care. I volunteer my time and my labor. I redistribute a significant portion of my income. My rates reflect both the value of my expertise and my intention to keep sustainably building an abundant future for all.
Do what you can and do it with others.
