I'm Han Marko aka The Pleasure Artist Quinn Kush, a Somatic Intimacy Educator, Human Connection Consultant and founder of Tender Core.

Over the past decade I've worked across youth work, mental health, coaching, breathwork, intimate bodywork and relationship education, facilitating more than 500+ touch-based sessions, workshops and events.

My approach blends somatic practice, body-based awareness, breathwork, intimacy education and elements of the Gottman Method to help people strengthen connection, communication and trust within themselves and their relationships.

What I've witnessed time and time again is this:

People are starving for connection.

They're overthinking instead of feeling.

Performing instead of relating.

Giving instead of receiving.

And quietly longing for more intimacy, touch and authentic connection in their lives.

Tender Core was born from this observation and from my own journey of learning how to move beyond over-giving, co-dependency and disconnection into a life rooted in self-trust, pleasure and meaningful relationships.

My work is trauma-informed, deeply practical and grounded in lived experience. I don't teach from theory alone. I teach what I've spent years exploring, testing and refining through my own life and through supporting hundreds of others.

I'm known for creating spaces that are equal parts safe, playful and transformative — where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and discover new ways of relating that feel more honest, embodied and alive.

At the heart of everything I teach is a simple belief:

Connection isn't something we think our way into.

It's something we learn to feel.

And touch is one of the most powerful pathways there.
