Honest Talk. Practical Steps. More Us.
For nearly 30 years, I’ve listened—to women at parties, to couples at every stage of life, and to folks with different bodies, identities, and experiences. I bring my M.S. in Counseling Psychology, a lot of lived experience, and a gentle sense of humor to help you find your way back to closeness—on your terms.
$1All couples welcome—kindness first, judgment never.
Coaching and education—not mental‑health therapy. If therapy is the better support, I’ll help with a referral.
Kathi’s Next Chapter
Two years ago, our Hattiesburg store had to close. We brought things “old‑school” back to Ellisville—open by day, parties at night—while I continued my daytime work with a manufacturer I respect. Through all of it, one thing stayed clear: my heart is in the conversations.
Before Pepper’s, I earned an M.S. in Counseling Psychology. Over the last 29+ years, I’ve had thousands of trusted conversations with real folks about real intimacy—what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward with kindness. In the early years, my parties were primarily for women; during our boutique years we welcomed a wider range of voices and experiences, and those diverse conversations continue to shape my coaching.
Around here, products aren’t the point. They’re tools for conversations and practical intimacy helpers—simple ways to talk about confidence, communication, and pleasure without shame.
Now I’m opening my calendar for Intimacy Coaching for couples—private sessions with clear, doable steps you can actually use. We’ll keep it respectful, judgment‑free, and just spicy enough to make learning fun.
What’s Changing—and What’s Not
- Changing: I’m offering private evening/weekend coaching for couples who want more ease, connection, and pleasure.
- Not changing: I still work with a manufacturer during the day. Coaching stays brand‑agnostic and focused on education, consent, and choosing intimacy helpers that truly serve you.
Hours: Weeknights after 5:00 pm CT • Saturdays 10:00 am–8:00 pm • Sundays 2:00–6:00 pm (select dates)
Who I Help
Feeling Stuck
Couples who want to feel like “us” again—less friction, more kindness, and a way forward that fits your real life.
Life‑Stage Changes
Hormones, bodies, energy—everything shifts. We’ll work with those changes using our “Relationships Through the Ages” lens.
Specific Hurdles
Desire differences, arousal education, ED dynamics, trust repair, or boundaries around openness—handled with honesty and care.
If we use products, we’ll treat them as tools for conversations—intimacy helpers you can practice with at home. All kinds of couples are welcome; the room is big enough for your story.
How Sessions Work
Discovery (30 minutes): We talk through goals, comfort zones, and what “better together” looks like for you.
Coaching Session (60 minutes): Clear language, simple tools, and body‑wise options you can try right away.
Follow‑Through: You’ll get a short recap and a few steps to practice at home.
Format: Private video or in‑person (Ellisville area). Confidential and judgment‑free.
What You’ll Take With You
- Plain‑talk scripts and signals that make conversations easier
- Age‑smart, body‑aware options for pleasure and comfort
- Small habits that build closeness without pressure
- When helpful, brand‑neutral ideas for intimacy helpers
A Note to Our Longtime Customers
If you’ve shopped with us or hosted parties over the years, you know my style—educationally entertaining with plenty of real‑life tips. Coaching is simply a quieter, more private version of that same heart: honest talk, practical steps, steady support. If you remember our women‑only parties, you’ll feel right at home; and if your relationship looks different, you’re welcome here too—my coaching honors a wide range of couples and lived experiences. If you’re ready for focused help (without the store chatter), I’d love to see you.
For Industry Partners
Outside my daytime work with a manufacturer, I offer evening/weekend, brand‑agnostic intimacy coaching for couples. My approach is consent‑forward, safety‑minded, and education‑driven—using products only as tools for conversations and intimacy helpers when appropriate. The goal is simple: better‑informed, happier customers who care well for themselves and each other.
Ready to Begin?
Start with a 30‑minute Discovery. Tell me what “better together” looks like for you—plain talk is welcome here. I’ll review your intake and reply with next steps within one business day.

Common Questions
Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching and education. If mental‑health counseling is a better fit, I’ll share referrals.
Do you coach singles?
My focus is couples. I’ll do a solo prep session when it helps the partnership.
How many sessions will we need?
Many couples feel momentum after 1–3 sessions. We’ll decide together based on your goals.
Do you recommend products?
If it supports your plan, yes—but we treat them as intimacy helpers and tools for conversations, not the point of the session. Always brand‑neutral, no pressure.
How do we meet?
Private video or in‑person (Ellisville area). Weeknights after 5:00 pm CT; select Saturdays and Sundays.
What about privacy?
Your details stay private. I do not share coaching information with third parties.
