JOIN US FOR MONTHLY CONVERSATIONS

This collective is for Christian professionals cultivating wisdom at the intersection of faith, love, and sexuality.

The Embodied Connection Collective is a professional community for counselors, therapists, coaches, pastors, chaplains, spiritual directors, educators, and ministry leaders who walk alongside others in the areas of relationships, marriage, intimacy, and sexuality.

Meeting monthly online, the Collective provides a trusted space for Christian professionals to connect across disciplines, engage meaningful and challenging conversations, and grow in both wisdom and practice.

 

Together, we gather to:

  • Encourage and pray for one another

  • Explore complex topics through a Christian worldview

  • Share professional resources, insights, and best practices

  • Learn from one another across disciplines

  • Build meaningful collaboration and referral relationships

  • Pursue ongoing personal, spiritual, and professional formation

 

Our vision is to cultivate a community where those who faithfully walk alongside others are also supported, sharpened, and strengthened so we can serve with greater wisdom, compassion, integrity, and grace.

Kristi Claudel

Kristi is a Certified Sexologist, faith-centered intimacy coach, speaker, educator, and women's bible study leader, passionate about helping individuals and couples experience deeper, healthier intimacy rooted in Christ.

With a Bachelor's degree in Education and professional training and certification in sexology and intimacy coaching, she combines education, practical relationship tools, and biblical understanding of sexuality to address the emotional, spiritual, relational, and physical dimensions of intimacy. 

Through Abiding Love Intimacy Coaching, she assists those who have struggled with feelings of unworthiness regarding intimacy and pleasure, engaged couples preparing for marriage, and long-married individuals who may feel more like roommates or have experienced betrayal that has impacted their intimacy. She loves to guide couples out of shame and the discomfort of discussing topics of sexuality, support those with sexual dysfunction issues.  

Beyond sexuality, Kristi desires for believers to walk in deeper intimacy with Christ, be set free from sexual strongholds, and understand God's design for intimacy.
