Stacie Ysidro

Stacie Ysidro

  • Co-founder of St Pete Retreat

About

Hi I am Stacie Ysidro. I help couples create their relationship by design, not default. As a Certified Sex Coach, acknowledged by the World Association of Sex Coaches, I originally began with business, leadership, and life coaching. Formerly being a cosmetologist and salon professional led me to the iPec Energy Leadership coaching modality.

In 2010 I officially transitioned to solopreneurship founding Holistic Progressions. Embracing my enthusiasm for sexuality, spirituality and relationships I defined my niche as a Sex Coach. I continued my education, personal exploration and working with clients achieving a certification in Sex Coaching from WAS becoming a Certified Erotic Blueprint Lead Coach, Tantra Practitioner, Speaker and Accelerated Evolution graduate. In 2021 I co-founded St Pete Retreat with my husband in St Petersburg, Fl. Offering couples retreats, intimacy events, sex coaching online and in person. Tantra classes and private sessions. I have found my most popular offering is the couples retreats and vip in person couples coaching experiences.

One of my sayings is if it’s out of your box it’s probably in mine. Demonstrating my openess, curiosity and expertise. Alternative lifestyles, CNM, ENM, kink, quantum results, communication and actual how to’s are some of my specialties. Business, networking and connecting with others interest me and in 2021 I became a co-host of a women’s business networking group that meets monthly in St Petersburg FL.
