Dr. Sayaka Adachi is a dedicated Sexual Educator, Clinical Sexologist and Life Coach in Sexuality. She was a school psychologist with a Masters degree in Special Education before going on to earn her Doctorate degree in Human Sexuality.

Born and raised in Japan, Sayaka brings a uniquely enlivening style to her practice, one that blends Eastern sexual traditions and current Western information. Her vibrant teaching methods encourage women and men to discover new erotic possibilities, ones that include a deeper love of self and greater sexual confidence with others.

Dr. Nick Karras is a man of many talents. He is a photographer and the author of Petals, a break-though book presenting stunningly beautiful images of vulvas. A documentary of his work on the project is the subject of an award-winning film. The varied range of his erotic photography has been exhibited in many venues and media such as the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, the Los Angeles Museum of Sex, Victoria Erotica Festival, Bravo TV (UK), VaginaFest events, and more.

Nick is also a teacher. His Doctorate degree in Sexology was awarded by the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (IASHS) in San Francisco. Aside from teaching photographic skills at various Lifestyle conventions and festivals, he has been a featured speaker and workshop leader at SSSS (The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality) and ASEP (Association of Sexual Energy Professionals).

Because of his necessarily intimate and honest encounters with women and men in sensuous settings, Nick has gained unique insights into both the fantasies and the reality of human beings. His investigation into taboo subjects has allowed him to experience the basic nature of most sexual problems. For example, from his controversial work in the Petals project, came his workshop: Images of Vulvas as a Healing Experience. His inventive approach to life's sexual dilemmas combined with his delicate aesthetic sense make him an outstanding personal mentor.
