About Dr. Anya

Hey there. I am Anya de Montigny, DHS. A clinical sexologist and professional certified coach offering sex & intimacy coaching for individuals and couples.

About me

I grew up in a Hindu-based Meditation Ashram long before yoga was hip and cool. Despite the rich spiritual teachings I was exposed to, there was one glaring omission: a lack of education about sexuality and pleasure.

Living in the cloistered Ashram in the USA and India during my formative years, sex education was sadly overlooked. My Doctor mother, being a physician, provided a  scientific foundation about the human body but this also failed to teach me adequate sex education.

The lack of permission to discuss sexuality in the Ashram (along with some very confusing messages) eventually led me to explore the topic on my own which brought me to some of the world’s best schools of human sexuality!

My path introduced me to Sensual Massage, Tantra, Orgasmic Meditation (OM), Sexological Bodywork, BDSM and Bondassage (think kink meets erotic massage). But, I still wanted to learn more and disseminate what I had learned to every day people who didn’t have access to this knowledge. 

So, in 2011, I founded my sex education business, TeachMeAboutSex to spread accurate, non-judgmental knowledge about sex and intimacy to the mainstream. I have taught popular classes worldwide on an array of topics along with my signature class, SquirtGasms (that was always a well-attended class!).

With a vision to open up a clinical practice, In 2016, I went back to school and earned my Doctor of Human Sexuality (DHS) degree from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.

IASHS produced some of the world’s greatest sexologists like Annie Sprinkle, PhD, Dr. Chris Donohue and Gina Ogden, PhD. I am grateful that I was one of the last students of this institution before they closed. 

Today, I continue to take yearly trainings on neuroscience, coaching, and my latest pursuit – hynosis! I strive to be the best clinician I can be with the goal of transforming people’s relationships to their sexuality and to each other. 

One day I will write a book about my journey throughout the 30 years of being in the sexuality professions from bodyworker to professional clinical sexologist! For now, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. My story is a good one!

I would love to help you navigate the complexities of sex and intimacy in a compassionate, knowledgeable way.

If you’re ready to explore how to optimize your body and mind for a more fulfilling life, let’s connect. Together, we’ll embark on a journey that’s all about you and your personal growth.

Looking forward to meeting you!
