Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Who am i?
A guide to joy and fulfillment
Andrés Cordero, Jr., Ph.D.
Embodied Living Coach & Certified Sexologist
I'm Andrés. I help men like you to reach your potential in life. I help men claim their pleasures and joys, find their empowerment, and fully manifest and embrace their best lives.
As an Embodiment Coach, I help those who identify as men (cis or trans) to engage one of the most valuable centers of knowledge to transform their lives --their bodies.Even if you are satisfied with your current life, embodied living can give you the keys to "level up" your way of living.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
- Leonard Cohen, "Anthem"
Do you regret missing out on opportunities? Do you fear failure? Do you struggle with to trusting yourself? Do you miss out on rewards you deserve?
Life presents us with challenges. Many of us learn from others to avoid taking risks, experiencing losses, and embracing our deepest emotions. Rather than making our own choices, many of us make choices that keep us safe, avoid taking healthy risks, and disconnecting from our authentic selves.This mostly can lead to boredom and lack of purpose. It often robs us of powerful learning experiences, and we may find ourselves uninspired, unmotivated, and living in loneliness.
I know. I've been there.
It was not until I learned the wisdom, the truths, and the possibilities of living if I moved beyond my mind and engaged my whole body that I began a journey of transformation.Risks, losses, and authentic emotions, when experienced by those fully in their bodies, often offer the most powerful of gifts. Living a life centered in authenticity, vulnerability, and self-trust can lead us to experiences that bring us places of profound pleasure, life-changing opportunities, and a truly meaningful sense of purpose.

As my client, I will focus on protecting your confidentially, health, and safety to the best of my ability.Please ask me any questions you may have about my commitment to you whenever necessary.
I am responsible for fostering effective communication with you.
My primary responsibility is to hold the container for you. Within the container, my chief focus and primary ethical responsibility is for your welfare.

My relationship with you is temporary; always within the context of your session or sessions (i.e., "the container.")

obtaining relevant continuing education;
seeking prompt and effective help when personal problems arise; and
seeking peer support on cases as needed.
