Erica Lemke, MA, CSC, ABS Board-Certified Clinical Sexologist | Certified Sex & Relationship Coach | Author | Speaker

I help women and couples reconnect with themselves and one another through evidence-based education, compassionate coaching, and practical strategies that foster confidence, intimacy, sensuality, and lifelong sexual wellbeing.

As the founder of Sex Coach SLC, I specialize in helping women navigate the transitions of midlife, including perimenopause and menopause, while also supporting couples experiencing desire discrepancies, intimacy challenges, relationship transitions, and sexual concerns across the lifespan. My work is rooted in the belief that pleasure isn’t a luxury - it’s an essential part of living well.

I am the author of two books, Feel Sexy Again and Pressing RESET for a Sensual Midlife, both written to help women reconnect with their bodies, reclaim pleasure, and embrace every season of life with greater confidence and self-compassion. My work has been featured in Cosmopolitan, and I have appeared as a featured expert on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, helping bring evidence-based conversations about sexuality and relationships to a broader audience.

My academic background includes a Master of Arts in Community Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, along with advanced clinical training in sexology through Sex Coach University under the mentorship of Dr. Patti Britton, founder of the modern sex coaching profession. I further expanded my expertise through Executive Education in Women’s Health and Wellness at Harvard Medical School, deepening my understanding of the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence women’s health throughout the lifespan.

I currently serve on the Education Committee for the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH), where I remain actively engaged with emerging research and evidence-based best practices in sexual medicine and women’s health.

In addition to my private practice, I coach through Maven Clinic, the world’s largest virtual clinic for women and families. There, I support individuals and couples through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause, helping clients navigate changes in desire, intimacy, body image, relationships, and sexual wellbeing as part of an interdisciplinary healthcare team.

My approach blends clinical sexology, relationship coaching, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, embodiment practices, and practical skill-building. Whether we are addressing painful intercourse, low desire, communication challenges, body confidence, or rediscovering pleasure after years of putting everyone else first, my goal is to create a space where curiosity replaces shame, evidence replaces myths, and lasting change becomes possible.

Beyond individual coaching, I write, teach, design workshops, contribute to national media, and speak on topics related to women’s sexual health, menopause, sensuality, relationships, and pleasure. I am passionate about making these conversations more approachable, evidence-based, and inclusive so that more people have access to the knowledge and support they deserve.

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and encouraging. My style is equal parts educator and guide - grounded in science, rich in compassion, and infused with curiosity. I don’t believe we have to become someone new to experience greater intimacy or pleasure. More often, we simply need the opportunity to remember who we’ve always been and find our way back home to ourselves.

Because pleasure isn’t a luxury. It’s a practice.
