Biography

Nicole Daedone studied semantics[2] and holds a bachelor's degree in Gender Communications from San Francisco State University.[3]

She studied with teachers of yoga, Kabbalah, and Buddhist meditation, and with Ray Vetterlein, who was in turn inspired by Morehouse.[4]

She founded OneTaste in 2004, a sexuality-focused wellness education company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. OneTaste trademarked the "orgasmic meditation" (OM) procedure delivered through the company's classes. OneTaste also organizes two-week, $36,000-a-person retreats called the "Nicole Daedone Intensive". Former members of the organization testifying about their experience at OneTaste said it "resembled a kind of prostitution ring," where managers frequently ordered staffers to engage in sexual relations with customers. In 2015, a former employee received a 6-figure settlement for sexual assault and harassment. The company made $12 million in revenue in 2017.[5]
