My name is Kristin Casey but most people call me KC (sounds like Casey). I’ve spent most of my life in Southern California and Central Texas (with a few years of globetrotting wanderlust in my 20s). I briefly 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 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 (plus one decade selling residential Real Estate in my 30s).

At age 50 I published my first book, Rock Monster, and have recently published a followup, Casey Dancer. In 2022 I retired from coaching, counseling, and surrogate partnership, and now work full time as a writer, covering topics around attraction, chemistry, relationships, and sexuality. (Please see my Resources page for active surrogate partners in your area.)

 I believe intimacy makes life worth living and that isolation is a form of torture.

My approach as a Surrogate Partner was one of respect, compassion, and openness. I was never afraid of intense emotions and I like complicated people. I’m told I have a gift for making people feel good about themselves, but it's really a gift for seeing people clearly. I zero in on a person’s best qualities, then help them see those qualities in themselves.

For many years I struggled to accept and express my authentic self. I am familiar with the pain of emotional isolation, and fear and anxiety around emotional vulnerability. I have great compassion for others on that path and it was an honor to be of service in their healing. I try to pay that gift and experience forward now in my writing.
