Hi, I'm Hunter

Coaching 

I specialize in communication and relationships. I am especially knowledgeable about non-monogamy, kink, and power exchange. My clients include queer and trans people, sex workers, radical parents, artists, musicians, drug users, and nightlife people. I love working with people who want to speak plainly together, who are maybe tired of therapy, and who want someone who gets it.

Coaching is a collaboration. It’s not therapy. While your past is welcome, we’re mostly thinking about the future. And if you're navigating something that needs clinical support, I can help you find that.

Chaplaincy

Most people think chaplains are religious figures who pray at your deathbed or try to convert you. I’m none of those things. I’m interested in religion and spirituality as something that we can reclaim and use to support and enrich our lives now, if we choose and how we choose. Many of my clients don’t feel seen or served by existing religious or spiritual offerings, and many of us were raised in very oppressive religions. I think we can make something better, together. I help people navigate their own emergent spiritualities, address past religious trauma, create meaningful rituals and ceremonies, and even design their own holidays. We can do anything we want. 

Background and Training

I have a Master of Arts in Social Change with a chaplaincy concentration and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in LGBT and Sexuality Studies. I am ordained clergy in good standing through the Order of Universal Interfaith, which is a formal accreditation recognizing professional chaplaincy and ministerial training, not an online credential. While I am credentialed as a reverend and minister, I don’t have a particular affiliation that I’m trying to impose on you. Choose your own adventure. 

I've had a private practice in counseling and coaching for over a decade, specializing in queer communities, care for sex workers, trauma recovery, harm reduction, and alternative relationships. In my early twenties, I did street outreach in San Francisco, including work with Bad Date List programs and other sex worker organizing. I served a key role in the campaign for Proposition K, San Francisco's 2008 prostitution decriminalization initiative.

I currently facilitate the Sex Worker Sangha, a monthly meditation group for sex workers through the East Bay Meditation Center offering community, reflection, and support in an ongoing virtual space. I’m also currently training in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program facilitated by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.

I'm a contributing author to The Holy Hour: An Anthology on Sex Work, Magic, and the Divine (Working Girls Press, 2024) (link). My research has been supported by a grant from the Mahindra Center for the Humanities at Harvard University. The project is called “Facilitators of Intense and Criminalized States: Psychedelic Sex Work” in which we produced the zine Let Me Blow Yr Mind: Psychedelic Sex Worker Wisdom and Expertise (2026) (link).

My advocacy has been recognized by the Associated Press, SF Chronicle, and LA Times. I've spoken at universities and conferences across the country and internationally, including at the People's Health Assembly in Cape Town, South Africa.
