Somatic Sex Coaching
Own your body, own your pleasure
What is Somatic Sex Coaching?
Take back your body, take back your pleasure
Most of us have been taught that sex and intimacy are mostly mental and that you need to get your head right and the rest follows. But pleasure, trauma, and sexuality don't just live in your mind. They live in your body and nervous system as well.
Somatic sex coaching works with your body directly. Through embodied practices and mindful awareness, you learn to recognise what's happening inside you, regulate your nervous system, embody your boundaries, release shame, and reconnect with your body and your pleasure on your own terms.
This isn't about tricks in the bedroom. It's about building a real relationship with yourself: your body, your boundaries, your desire so that sex stops feeling like something that happens to you and starts feeling like something you actually get to experience and enjoy.
Great sex and intimacy is underpinned by being in your body, mutual participation, nervous system literacy, embodied consent, communication and joy!.
Too often, bad sex and intimacy is endured and tolerated. This reduces our life force energy, our creativity, joy and capacity for receiving pleasure and connection. And, honestly, life is too short.
Why folks go to a Somatic Sexologists:
Sexual-related anxiety can present for many reasons and have many symptoms.
Some folks experience a lack of sexual desire, difficulty experiencing arousal, inability to enjoy sex, orgasm, have pain with intimacy, erectile dysfunction, or premature ejaculation,
Others feel numb in their body, struggle to relax, have anxiety around intimacy, and avoid sexual or emotional closeness.
Some feel guilt and shame around pleasure or expressing desires, or for setting boundaries.
Others fake enjoyment and prioritise others' pleasure over their own, whilst feeling something is wrong with them or feeling broken
And others struggle with communication around intimacy.
Many people experience their body and sexuality differently due to life events such as body changes after pregnancy & breast feeding, peri-menopause, natural body changes with age, surgery, chemo, or boundary violations and they want to re-connect to their sexuality and pleasure again.
Common Sex Coaching Topics
Here are some of the common themes that clients often seek support for:
Confidence in setting boundaries without fear or guilt
Trust in your ability to choose safe and nourishing relationships
Comfort in expressing desires and needs without shame or conflict
Easeful communication and meaningful intimacy
Joy and relaxation in intimacy with self or partner, rather than fear or obligation
An internal sense of worthiness and self-acceptance
Feeling present and engaged in intimate moments rather than dissociating
Pleasure without guilt, viewing it as a birth right, not shameful
Feeling whole, embracing your body, sexuality and story with compassion and joy
Is This a Fit for You?
You want and are ready to develop a direct, healthier relationship with your own body and sexuality
You can commit to approximately 1 hour of home practice per week to get the most out of the sessions
You are open to speaking about your intimacy and sex life up until now
You have tried talk-therapy and want to get out of your head and into your body
You have done some reflective personal work on yourself: therapy, yoga, breathwork, and are aware that you live in a body that is more than a functional home
This Is Not a Fit for You If:
You want rapid results. Your body, nervous system, and mind require time and slowness to relax, rewire, and reprogram
You don't want to engage in the somatic practices or homepractices
You have had acute sexual trauma and are not availing of a counsellor as well

Sessions are Co-Created
Your sessions with me are co-created and client-empowered, with Learning Objectives & an Educational Agreement established for each session. Basically, meaning they are bespoke and tailored to your individual learning outcomes (what you want to get out of these sessions) with the focus on education, freedom, and empowerment.
Some of the Modalities I weave into your sessions:
Consent-Centered
Embodied Consent is about learning to trust your body's real signals: your somatic yes and no, so you can express boundaries and desires with confidence.
It is about deep listening to your body's wisdom, making consent a moment-by-moment practice that fosters safety, trust, and authentic pleasurable connections.
Body Poetry
Body Poetry is a somatic and expressive practice that combines sound, imagery, and felt-sense awareness to explore the stories that are held in the body - "known unvoiced voices". It supports deep emotional processing, pleasure expansion, and self-expression by translating bodily sensations into creative, embodied narratives, fostering healing and authentic connection.
Nervous System Literacy
Nervous System Work - Sexual responses require coordinated nervous system activity. Without regulation, the body remains in protective states that inhibit sexual function. Sexual trauma and boundary violations create dysregulation. Teaching self-regulation helps you move from survival responses to embodied choice and authentic pleasure, enabling deeper body awareness and sensation integration rather than dissociated or performance-based sexuality.
Dysregulation disrupts the hormonal cascade necessary for healthy sexual function, affecting everything from arousal to oxytocin release. Nervous system regulation creates the foundation of safety and capacity needed for you to gradually expand your window of tolerance for pleasure and intimacy.
The Work of Byron Katie
Inquiry Based Stress Reduction - Byron Katie's The Work is a simple powerful way to question the limiting beliefs we have inherited from cultural and religious sources about sexuality, intimacy, and pleasure.
By unpacking the layers of shame and conditioning, space for freedom, self-trust, and authentic sexual expression is created.
