OUR STORY
When sex educator and media sexologist Dr. Yvonne K. Fulbright met film producer  and holistic healer Danielle Cavallucci at a holiday party in 2002, little did they know that their newly found friendship was the beginning of a joint journey to change the sex lives of people around the world. Hours sequestered in a quaint Italian cafe in New York's Soho, usually over mochas and vino, revealed that the pair of petite blondes had a lot more in common than European upbringings - each longed to liberate lovers around the world. As they navigated their own aspirations, personal struggles, ideals, and inspirations together in friendship, the pair realized that the common vision their souls shared went beyond - needed to go beyond - simply teaching others how to shamelessly own their sexuality and the "how to's" of better sex.
From world travels and confessionals devulged by friends and strangers alike emerged the crux of their mission and its appeal to the masses - the need for people to become sensually fused. With few feeling sexually fulfilled, let alone sensually 'whole', nearly all people desire much more from their sensual and sexual experiences. Few know what true intimacy entails, yet everyone wants to love, be loved, feel connected, and share - on top of having amazing sex. Every confessional that came their way reinforced that these blue-eyed visionaries had more than books on sexual liberation and empowerment to write - they had a calling: that of cultivating better, more loving relationships and greater intimacy amongst people worldwide.
 Driven by a common passion for holistic, naturopathic approaches to health and wellness in their own quests for betterment, healing, service, and higher intimacy, the international dynamos molded their concept by paying homage to the old and reverence for the new and innovative. Fusing their heads and hearts to advocate for healthier attitudes about sexuality and wellness, these two entrepreneurial, sexy but brainy, bombshells forged the revolutionary concept of Sensual Fusion. Having found in each other a mutual quest to "Save the World THROUGH Sex," the witty duo's adventures in better healing, health and humanity led them to writing, publishing, and media opportunities, as well as certifications in Reiki and expertise in other holistic healing methodologies - the cornerstones of the Sensual Fusion enterprise.
Inspired by others' enthusiastic reception of Sensual Fusion, Yvonne and Danielle are proud to offer their concept and coaching services in forging a better quality of life for others. Sensual Fusion is a formula palatable to lovers everywhere which promises to change your world!
