About me
Rick Garcia
Hi, I’m Rick Garcia (he/him) — a certified sexologist, cannabis coach, and Brainspotting practitioner based in Colorado.
I started Cannabased Coaching & Wellness in 2020, not because of one big “aha” moment, but because I saw a gap — a need for deeper conversations around sex, pleasure, and healing. Working in public health, I was offering HIV and STI testing, but I knew that was just the tip of the iceberg. The real work, the real transformation, happens when we go beyond prevention and into connection. That’s why I created this space.
My Approach
My work is rooted in helping people feel seen and heard — especially those who have felt like no one could possibly understand them. Whether we’re exploring intimacy, healing through Brainspotting, or working with plant medicine, I create a space where you can let go of expectations and come home to yourself.
I blend sex coaching, cannabis education, somatic practices, and evidence-based tools like Brainspotting to support clients through transformation. And no, it’s not just about handing you a joint and calling it a day. Real change takes work — work that happens outside the session — and I’m here to walk that path with you, even between sessions.
Why I Do This
Nothing lights me up more than seeing my clients drop the pressure, connect deeply, and experience bliss. Sex is a lot like that — it unfolds when we allow, not when we control. Being able to hold that space for people… it’s an honor.
If you’ve felt unseen or disconnected, this is your invitation. You deserve support that honors all of you — your mind, your body, your history, and your desires.
