Sensual Mindfulness for Couples
by Chamin Ajjan, LCSW, A-CBT, CST
Unlock your pleasure potential by exploring how your senses can heighten your intimate connection with your partner. You will learn how mindfulness can enhance the way you experience pleasure and learn how to enjoy intimacy from “let’s go” to afterglow.
Sex is often reduced to only the physcial sensations and focused on the end goal. Tapping into your senses can enhance intimacy, reduce performance anxiety, improve communication, move you away from goal oriented sex and increase your erotic pleasure.

Communication and Couples

Are you tired of “not feeling heard”?
Over time we develop our own communication style based on childhood and cultural influences. That style may clash with our partner’s style, leading to conflict, hurt and unresolved issues. Learn how to respond to your partner instead of reacting to them and uncover how to truly hear each other and communicate as a team.

Manifesting More:
How To Go From Dream to Reality
by Chamin Ajjan, LCSW, A-CBT, CST
- TBD
- Via Zoom for Telehealth
Setting a New Year Resolution is a tradition that can often set you up for failure. But there is another way to achieve your goals that works. Manifesting! In 6 weeks, we will show you how to combine spiritual and scientific approaches to manifest the life you have been dreaming of. We will coach you on how to incorporate proven and evidence-based practices to your daily routine all while supporting your goals and inspiring you to be your best self. Let us help you thrive.
We will explore the science behind manifesting, tapping into your spiritual side, interfering beliefs, identifying a goal, setting an intention, creating an action plan, reviewing the progress, being open to changes and opportunities and so much more.
You will get 6 weekly one-hour workshop meetings, simple daily practices to support your growth and check-ins to help you to stay on task.
“What an empowering series! I not only learned how to create a goal to enhance my life, but I also received assistance with meditation, journaling, staying focused, and altering the negative thoughts that prevent me from achieving my goal.
Chamin is affable, and the weekly action plans are purposeful and timely for the next step in the goal-setting process. Each week’s tools steer the process and are easy to navigate; the systemized weekly tools enabled me to determine and articulate my life’s desires. It’s eye-opening!
Together, we tailored my goal to my specific needs. Then, when I was unsure about the next step, Chamin prompted me with probing questions to ascertain what I wanted to accomplish. My assignments continued to help me determine what obstacles were in my way and how to combat them.
After the six sessions, I continue along my path. I admit I’m not there yet, but I continue to make baby steps to keep me progressing.
Observers are still determining what is different about me, but it is detectable. I hear encouraging words like “You look amazing!” or “Have you lost weight?” My favorite is “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it!” (by the way, these noticings are not my intended goal, but a welcoming effect of my journey.)
I love the changes I’ve executed thus far, and I cannot wait to bask in the finished product: a better version of me!😉”
“Manifest More has been life-changing! With Chamin Ajjan’s empathetic guidance, I learned how to set meaningful goals, stay focused, and reframe negative thoughts. Her tailored action plans helped me uncover what I truly want and take steps to achieve it.
Chamin’s support made the process empowering and approachable. I’ve gained confidence, clarity, and tools to continue my growth. Friends and family notice the difference, and I feel more aligned with the best version of myself. Thank you, Chamin, for this transformative experience!”
