Kevin Brizendine
CSB, CSSE, BS
Kevin Brizendine is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker and Somatic Sex Educator located in Reno, Nevada where he works with individuals, couples and groups both in person and on-line.
Kevin began his exploration of sacred sexuality and tantra in 2009 with various schools including Ipsalu Tantra, Divine Feminine Awakened Masculine Institute, Source School of Tantra, Quodoushka and International School of Temple Arts (ISTA). Following a serendipitous introduction and conversation with Joseph Kramer (founder of Sexological Bodywork) during a 2013 visit to Berlin, there was little question that he’d found his true place and calling in somatic sexology. Soon after, he left a 30-year career in physician and healthcare management to pursue a more joyous and fulfilling way of being in the world.
He delights in witnessing clients and students as they discover new and pleasureable ways of being in their body, being with others, defining and articulating healthy boundaries and learning to listen to the innate wisdom of the body.
