My name is Kristin Casey but everyone calls me KC. I’ve spent most of my life in Southern California and Central Texas (with a few years of globetrotting wanderlust in my 20s). I attended the University of Texas at Austin but am mostly self-educated, driven by passionate curiosity about human nature in the areas of sexuality, psychology, and spirituality.

I completed my training with the International Professional Surrogates Association in May 2016 (a 100-hour didactic and experiential course of study), followed by a 2 year IPSA-Supervised Internship.  I then attained my sexuality counseling certification from the Sexual Health Alliance (SHA) and worked for 6 years as an intimacy coach and surrogate partner in Austin, Texas. Previous to that was 20 years experience in related fields of physical and emotional intimacy (and one decade selling residential Real Estate). At age 50 I published my first book, Rock Monster, and have recently published a followup, Casey Dancer.

For many years I struggled to accept and express my authentic self. I am familiar with the pain of emotional isolation as well as fear and anxiety around emotional vulnerability. The self-acceptance and serenity I’ve found were in part due to wise mentors who made this journey before me. They didn’t just hand me a map; they walked beside me and illuminated the way. I have great compassion for others on that path and it’s an honor to be of service in their healing. I try to pay that gift and experience forward now in my writing.
