Healing and Tantra Testimonials
..........Although all my instincts trusted your mastery of energy and integrity, I didn't trust my instincts in this area. Relaxing my energy and particularly letting my sexual energy reach out to you seemed like the most careless and irresponsible behavior possible on my part, no matter how reassuring you were.
Imagine my surprise, Kevin, to find for the very first time in my life that I can be safe in the expression of my sexual energy and in the vulnerability of ecstasy. The more I relax into our container expecting it to shatter, the more I find myself supported. I wish I could say the same for my experience in the rest of the world. As I find myself opening up energetically, I find myself running into familiar scenarios. Oh, well--lessons that make me realize the incredible blessing of our work together.
Being a perfectionist with exacting standards, I often forget to express praise. I want you to know how deeply grateful I am to the universe for the experience of you. I've never known anyone like you. You are amazing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you have always been energetically and emotionally clear, open and honest with me.

My sexual difficulties became more acute after treatment for prostate cancer, although I have had a life long discomfort with my demanding sexual drive. I came to Kevin Fortune after having exhausted the traditional medical route and then having seen several other workers in this field who were not very helpful. Kevin is very experienced in the body, sex, and mind arena and is a skilled artisan. Kevin possesses a honed set of skills for both men and women. He has the capacity for deep insight and theory but his best service is based on years of practical real world experience. He delivers his service in the most genuine and heartfelt manner although initially one needs some faith that he does see the end of the tunnel. But his vision is very clear.
The result is that I have found not only sexual satisfaction both solo and with my partner, but I have also found sexual peace of mind, perhaps for the first time in my life. My service from Kevin has been a truly life changing experience.

I feel as a client that you are both attentive and sensitive to one's needs. Very honest, if you don't have an answer you will say so. One can say anything in the session and not be judged.

Safety I really felt no agenda
Kevin was comfortable in any modality with me.
A nice balance between allowing me to go into my fear and shyness and having the keen intuition to know when to knock on my door and nudge me to go where I haven't gone before.
Somehow he manages to hold the space for me to make space for myself, whether it's talking or touching. He models a space for me to flow into doing with me what I need to do for myself.
He has an incredible touch that makes a safe container for me to really meet myself.
He has been very available as an ally for me.

Kevin has helped me to overcome years of shame and pain resulting from early sexual abuse and subsequent work as a prostitute. To learn to be vulnerable in front of a conscious man has been the most healing and empowering work imaginable.

Prior to working with Kevin I was very shut down sexually. I had not had sexual contact with anyone for more than five years and was very frightened and tense. I am learning to trust again, working with Kevin at my own pace while being held so tenderly and respectfully that very often, joy erupts!
-S.W. Los Angeles
Taking the plunge, longing to heal my relationship to sex, I called Kevin for an appointment. It was the best gift I have ever given myself. Years of fear, shame, terror and self-loathing are slowly melting away to be replaced by a deep and growing sense of pride in my own progress as I move away from fear, toward and into freedom.

A Healing Story
She was a bitchy witch; she had misplaced her period some 21/2 months previous and couldn't find it anywhere. She dreamt of it from time to time and would awake feeling bereft and worried. Her hormones began to rage and she became full of projections. Hungry all the time, she nibbled night and day; her pants became tight, her bra, an instrument of torture. She forgot to breathe and took up deep sighing instead. Her friends looked askance at her tight little face and murmured names of massage therapists in her ear. She ignored them.
Eventually, she came to realize that she had been hiding from her own important feelings (again) and that she had fallen from grace into the land of shame and blame (again). Gathering up what she could of her courage she drove off to see her therapist with a nervous and twitchy stomach. She was so lost in her Inner City of Terror she could hardly speak, she rambled on determinedly though and eventually, somehow or another, said everything she needed to say. And..........surprise surprise. Apparently, she discovered, it was okay for her to feel everything she was feeling. No problem at all! WELL!!! Her therapist, a kind and sensitive man, who knows how to listen and when to talk, gently tried to remind her about mercy. Startled, she gazed at him with a puzzled frown. Mercy?
She left and drove home carefully. She stayed up late that night sitting out on her deck drinking tea and star-gazing. And all the time she thought about the Power of Mercy. And at some point during the night, perhaps while she was sleeping, the Power of Mercy came to her and touched her lightly between her eyes and breathed softly over her pelvis.
She awoke early that morning to familiar and welcome cramps, which sent her dancing into the bathroom. Her period had returned! Her period was back! She was so relieved and happy, she felt "normal” for the first time in weeks. Her hormones were behaving themselves again and she stepped out into her day with a light step. She noticed that everything looked a little different; the very air seemed alive with great potential for joy.
She stopped to admire the big spirits of little babies being wheeled around by their proud mothers.
Her craving for chocolate disappeared, replaced by an appreciation of celery.
The man at the coffee shop complimented her, told her she looked wonderful and that she always did. She smiled and thanked him nicely instead of correcting him.
She was hardly irked at all when the drug store was out of her preferred brand of kotex.
She remembered that she was blessed with some truly wonderful friends.
Men once again became people instead of the enemy. And women became sisters instead of mirror images of her mother.
She remembered she liked to be touched.
She congratulated herself (again) on having had the extraordinary good fortune to notice Kevin Fortune's advertisement and on having had the great good sense to answer it.
She remembered the Power of Mercy. - L.G. San Francisco
Jungle Path
There is a jungle inside me
Dark tangled past hurts, fears and shame
Longing and lusts confused and covered
Blocked by twisted vines and fallen trees.
There but hidden.
Working now to clear this way
I open up to steamy desires,
Into healthy sunlight - bright with permission and acceptance
Sexuality as presence, not pretense
Joy and pleasure, not pressure and pain
The scary jungle pathway becomes a trail of dappled delights
Darkness is lightened and
The scorch of frustration is cooled by the shade of comfort
The safety of truth allows the freedom to explore.
To Kevin,
With gratitude
and appreciation
and love.
-P.H. Berkeley
Never in my life have I been so deeply met and seen, and with no agenda. I had the space to see parts of me that I hadn’t seen or known, and to explore that which I was afraid to on my own. You were not afraid of my fear. You held a space of allowance for me to be as I am. Thank you.
