We’re not here for surface-level self-care.
Intēqwell is a movement — for people who are done pretending everything’s fine and ready to get real. This is where intimacy meets wellness, and where your nervous system finally gets a seat at the table.
Intēqwell is where inner work meets bold connection. It’s built on the belief that true wellness isn’t just about green juice and gym reps — it’s about how you show up in your relationships, your body, and your truth.
Built by a guy who’s done the work — and then some.
John Marino isn’t here to peddle perfection. He’s been through the fire — therapy, trauma, tech, tantra. A rebel with receipts, he saw how intimacy was the missing piece in every healing space.
So he built Intēqwell — to bring intimacy back to the center of wellness.
“This isn’t fluff. It’s human engineering. And it’s long overdue.” – John

Frequently asked questions
Honest answers to our most commonly asked questions. Still need answers? Give us a message.
It’s not therapy. Not yoga. Not a rebrand of life coaching.
Intēqwell is where intimacy and wellness collide — hard. It's about helping high-functioning, heart-numb, soul-hungry people cut through the noise, get honest, and live better. Intimacy is your missing wellness link, this is your reset.
In-TEEK-well.
Hard “E.” Sharp “Q.” Say it like you mean it — because we do. The name's a portmanteau of “intimacy equals wellness,” but we’re not interested in sounding like a corporate mindfulness app. We're different. Intentionally.
No. And thank god. We don’t diagnose. We don’t dig forever. We move forward. This is coaching for people who want traction — not just talk. You get tools, language, clarity, and the kick in the soul you've been waiting for.
Because legal bills quickly become a runaway freight train — and they don’t fix your marriage, your co-founder tension, or your nervous system.
We do. Our mediation-style conflict coaching is built for resolution that actually lasts. Less time. Less money. Way fewer emotional hangovers.
People who are high-functioning but emotionally fried. Couples stuck in loops. Professionals who look good on paper but feel disconnected. Anyone done pretending everything’s fine and ready to do something bold about it.
Only if you think relationships, boundaries, sex, honesty, and self-respect count as wellness. No green juice required. Just a willingness to be real.
Depends on how raw you’re willing to get. Sometimes one session is enough to crack open everything. Other times, it’s a process. But this isn’t some 6-month vibe-building plan — you’ll know when it’s working.
Both. Choose your arena.
Private coaching is offered via analog encounter (that is to say, face to face) and virtually. Intensives and retreats happen in curated, distraction-free spaces (read: no beige conference rooms). Real humans. Real change. Real fast.
