Hi! I’m Natassia—a Brazilian-American sexologist, writer, speaker and founder of Wonderlust.

I split my time between New York and Brazil, two cultures that shaped how I understand sex, intimacy, and desire. Brazil taught me sensuality. New York taught me drive. Somewhere in between, I found my voice.

I wasn’t always doing this work. I started in finance, but felt disconnected from myself. So eventually I left and studied sexology, trained with world-class educators, and began helping people transform how they relate to pleasure.

Today, I support women and couples who want more from their relationships—more connection, more honesty, more turn-on. I’ve lived both sides of love: from toxic disconnection to true partnership. That experience shapes everything I teach.

Lust in Translation is where I write about all the messy, beautiful ways we navigate intimacy—through personal stories, reader questions, research, and cultural critique.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to experience—in your body, in your relationship, in your pleasure—you’re in the right place.

Besides this newsletter, here are a few more ways I can help you:
