Today we’d like to introduce you to Kat Trimarco.
Kat, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My business started with a personal inner journey of transformation. I’d always felt confused that no one had taught me about relationships and sexuality. It seemed confusing to me that, as women, we were expected not to talk about sex outside of the bedroom but seemingly know exactly what to do and how to communicate INSIDE the bedroom.
Why had no one taught us about pleasure and sexual communication?! I had multiple relationships one after the other with the same issue that kept coming up. My partner’s asking me what I wanted in the bedroom, how I wanted to be touched and what would bring me to orgasm.
At the time, I’d never had an orgasm with a partner, even though I could quite quickly reach orgasm alone, so I KNEW my body was capable of it. This frustrated me. My frustration was backed by a deep desire to learn and to truly know myself sexually and be able to experience this with a partner. I went on a journey of learning everything I possibly could about sex and relationships, including the differences between men and women and how to understand one another.
I literally ordered over a dozen books on intimacy, went to every local and online course I could get my hands on that taught about sex and relationships, and I even flew to Thailand to study at a school for sacred sexuality. I took the key pieces from everything I’d learned and the pieces I discovered through my self-exploration and combined them into teachings and programs for other women.
Specifically what I came to notice is that most sex educators, coaches, and therapists are heavily focused on the physical aspect only of sex, completely leaving out the fact that we are multi-dimensional beings with emotions, thoughts, and energy that greatly affect our sexuality as well.
As I worked on all these layers within myself, I started coaching other women through understanding themselves and transforming in each of these areas to connect deeply with their pleasure, their orgasm and to connect with themselves and their partners sexually.
Over time, I went on to attain my certificate in Spiritual Psychology and became a certified Sex & Relationship Coach and an Erotic BlueprintTM Coach. I like to have a toolbox of processes to help my clients create transformation. Now, I coach women individually as well as couples. I teach workshops and speak on stages across North America.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been an adventure, let’s say that much. And it’s taken many turns that I never could have expected. I work closely with my inner guidance every step of the way, tuning into my intuition and what I feel internally guided to do as my next steps.
This is massively important when starting a business of any type. I know that when I try something in my business, and it doesn’t work, or I don’t get the outcome I desire that it’s me being redirected to do things in a different, even better way and a call to upgrade my thinking around what’s possible.
When I’ve experienced challenges along the journey, I always tune back into why I do what I do. I’m here to help people and teach them. I consider myself a teacher of everything they didn’t teach us in school, like how to understand our inner worlds of thoughts and emotions, how to create harmony in relationships and how to practice self-love and acceptance.
When I tune back into my heart and the mission of helping people, I’m able to solve challenges and approach them from a clear perspective. I truly feel like I’m just getting started and that there’s so much more to come.
We’d love to hear more about what you do.
I teach people everything they didn’t teach us in school, like how to understand our inner worlds of thoughts and emotions, how to create harmony in relationships and how to practice self-love and acceptance.
I am definitely most known for the work and teachings I do around sexuality. I help women and couples understand themselves sexually, connect with themselves sexually, and in turn be able to connect with their partners sexually. Sexual energy is life force energy and for most people how they do sex is how they do life.
I am most proud of how deeply I care about my clients. Everything in my business is built on heart, soul, and authenticity which is incredibly important to me and creates a true connection between me and my clients.
Personally, I am most proud of my commitment and dedication to my vision. I started out as a hair stylist, which I’d been doing for thirteen years. I made a decision to get sober after a decade of drug and alcohol abuse when I’d felt like my life hit a rock bottom. It was during this time that I wrote my inspiration memoir, Self Approved – A guide to accepting, loving and expressing the person you truly are.
I’d sit at cafes on the evenings and weekends writing when I wasn’t at the salon doing hair. I’d coach clients in the evenings and on the weekends as well because I was so passionate about helping others and building my business. I believe what sets me most apart from others is that I follow my inner guidance to create everything in my business.
I was told that you shouldn’t write a book before you build a business, but I knew I had a story to share and people to inspire and impact. I was inspired to write the book THEN, not after I’d spent years building a business. I believe it’s so important to follow what our hearts are guiding us to do.
I knew the book was meant to be written exactly when it was written. What sets me apart is that I use so many of my own personal stories in my teachings. This really helps my clients, audiences and workshop participants connect to what I’m teaching and how they can use the tools in their own life.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Believed in myself more. I feel like I spent more time than was necessary in doubt and fear. This is not a regret so much as it is an awareness now. The voices of doubt and fear can feel very real, and for a long time, I wasn’t aware that I was listening to them and believing them. I would also practice more gratitude for the present moment, something I consciously do now.
I’ve come to learn that there’s always something more that we want to be doing and that because we will always be expanding into more than who and what we are in this present moment, there’s always going to be a gap between where we are and where we’re going. I would enjoy the deliciousness of each moment more, knowing that it was perfect and also temporary.
