MAXIMUS

Maximus is an internationally sought after teacher in the field of Intimacy and spirituality. He helps women embody their awakened femininity, explore the Intimate Arts, reveal hidden stressors and overcome past traumas. Maximus has worked with countless clients all over the world, including influencer coaches and highly successful CEOs. Maximus is known for his grounded and down-to-earth approach when it comes to the art of intimacy and it's relationship with spirituality.

Before Maximus started teaching, he trained with exceptionally experienced coaches to ensure he had a strong and solid foundation. What matters most to him is knowledge and wisdom, or understanding and direct experience.

Maximus likes to say: "Traditional coaching is unrealistic to me. I am only interested in results and creating bold changes within every soul I work with."

Blows therapy out of the water

Tiffany, Coached by Maximus

“I highly recommend The Intimate Arts Society for their compassionate and genuine approach to Intimacy coaching. I’ve never experienced being coached before, but I have seen therapists, and The Intimate Arts Society blows all of them out of the water. I highly recommend them if you want to find a new level of intimacy in your relationship.”

Platonic intimacy, no strings attached

Tasha, Coached by Maximus

"As a strong single woman who refuses to settle or waist anymore time on dating apps. I was ecstatic when I heard about the IAS. Platonic intimacy, no strings attached, sign me up! My experience has been everything it's hyped up to be. Ladies, the IAS is a must."

Saved my marriage

Lorrie, Coached by Maximus

“Working with Maximus on the Intimate Arts saved my marriage. I now communicate better, experiment more, and have found ways to make our sexual relationship more rewarding. The free sessions the IAS provides are amazing. If you want to feel good about your relationship and your sexuality I highly recommend! You will not regret it!”

A happier version of myself

Myra, Coached by Maximus

“Looking back at the last few months I’m surprised by how much has changed. I used to have so much fear around intimacy, and shame about NOT being in tune with myself.

Not only do I now feel comfortable with intimacy, I’m also more confident and successful in my business, relationships, and life in general. Basically I’m a more loving, authentic, and happier version of myself.”

Mental health is great and marriage thriving

Patricia, Coached by Maximus

"My husband got into a car accident about 5 years ago. Due to his injuries we are not allowed to engage in physical intimacy anymore. After a few years the lack of intimacy started to effect my mental health. After some research he recommended I join the IAS. I was hesitant at first, but he talked me into it. At this point, joining The Intimate Arts Society has been the best decision I've eve made. My mental health is great and my marriage thriving!"

On a journey home

Val, Coached by Maximus

“When I joined The Intimate Arts Society, I was looking for someone to fix me. Maximus is the only person in my life who has allowed me to see that I was never broken in the first place.

This work is not for the faint hearted. It will take every ounce of courage you have to truly, deeply, and honestly look inside yourself. But it will also allow you to embark on a journey home… and trust me, Maximus is the intimacy healer you want by your side.”

A powerful space for transformation

Hijung, Coached by Maximus

“Maximus' way of coaching – his beautiful energy and the way he puts his heart and soul into what he does – creates such a powerful space for personal transformation. He helped me understand myself, be in flow with myself, and to fully love and embrace my body. His work is amazing.”

Erika | Lead Artist | Los Angeles

ERIKA

Erika is a sex and intimacy coach serving women, men and non-binary individuals. A certified life coach, Erika received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and continued her studies in yoga, meditation, and visualization in therapy. A trained Sexological Bodyworker and Somatic practitioner.

"My life’s work is to help create deeper intimacy through communication, integrative connection, and honest engagement.

I aim to help you build new confidence, open new pathways to pleasure, deepen your inner connection, and unleash more meaningful intimacy in all aspects of your life."

I've never felt so healthy

Andrew, Coached by Erika

“I joined the IAS because I felt like I didn’t know myself. That reflected in my confidence, my relationships, and how I carried myself. It’s crazy to look back and think about where I was only months ago.

Erika was everything I could have dreamed of as a coach and I got exactly what I needed and wanted. She created a safe space for me to work through hardships, insecurities, and I’ve never felt so healthy. From the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful.”

From lost and struggling to empowered and confident

Mike, Coached by Erika

“I was emotionally enmeshed with my wife, needing validation, and didn’t have a sense of myself. I now feel secure, and have a deep love for myself. Sexually I am transformed – no more judgement, guilt, or shame.

Erika is insightful, non-judgmental, and genius in self-awareness. She can see straight through the mess and confusion to the real issues. She will take you from lost, struggling and stuck, to empowered, self-confident, and loving yourself.”

It's been a life changer

Sergio, Coached by Erika

“I’d lost connection with myself, my partner, and my life. I felt fearful of vulnerability, and scared to be intimate and show affection. I was hesitant about joining at first because I felt that I would be judged or seen as weak.

But after taking the plunge, I can now say it was more than worth it. It’s been a life-changer! My outlook on life has changed dramatically. I’ve got my priorities in order. I’m living life for me, loving my partner, and feeling more connected with myself than ever before. We’ve taken leaps and bounds in the bedroom too!”

Pealed and healed every layer

Darius, Coached by Erika

"I suffered from low self-esteem, low confidence, low sex drive, low body image, low everything. I was a complete mess before I was accepted into the IAS. Erika single handedly changed all of that. Her one on one sessions pealed and healed every layer."

Back in touch with my feminine power

I feel safe knowing my identity and endeavors will remain private

K, Coached by Jackson

“I've been a IAS member for over a year now and I must say, they have never let me down when it comes to member discretion. I hold a very public position in town and I feel very safe knowing my identity and endeavors will remain private."
