My name is Tracy Coggin and I was an exotic dancer for six years in the Portland Metro dance circuit.

My heart is to give women like myself a chance to heal, a place to go and someone to talk to about what they have been through or still are going through.

The pain and shame of dancing doesn't stop when the music does and neither does the pain of any sexual sin. I have been out of dancing for over 13 years and would love to help in any way possible; I would like to keep young women from making the mistakes I did and encourage them to not to test the power of their sexuality.

There is so much pain after the sexual deed are done. I love life and I feel that God has given me something special that I can share with other women of every background.

I hope that you can trust that I understand where you're coming from. I lived in the shadows of my dancing career for 13 years--being public about something so painful can be a little intimidating at times--but I figure that if I could dance in front of a crowd naked, then this to speak the truth about something so important will be rewarding.

I would like to open this webpage to all women that have some form sexual shame weather it is from some form of porn addiction; from dancing to prostitution and everything in-between.

There are women out there that are addicted to porn on the internet or watching porn movies or they just have alot of shame for the life that they used to lead. I know what it is like to have a secret and not be able to share it. Please, give me the privilege to at least listen to what you have to say.

Life for me now is what I have always hoped it would be. All my life I have searched for something to fill a void, from alcohol and drugs to sexual promiscuity but now I feel whole again.

I have learned to forgive myself because I know that God and my family, (I am married and have 2 son's) have forgiven me. My family is very proud of who I have become because they know what I have been through.

I enjoy talking with women and sharing what Christ has done in their life. When you are able to trust that other women won't judge you for what you have done in your past; it feels like you have a large family of sisters. There are more women out there that share your issue, no matter what your past. I used to wonder where the women like me were, in a bitter sweet way I have found many women that are just like me but with a different story. Why don't you contact me by phone or email and we can pray togeter. I have alot of love to share, and even if it is just to talk for one time I would love to hear from you.

Thank You, Tracy
