how i can help
I combine counselling with somatic practices using awareness, breath, touch, awareness, sound and movement techniques.
Unlike standard counselling or sex therapy, this work involves somatic practices to support clients more deeply. Building connection with the body and hearing it's wisdom leads to greater levels of pleasure and sexual experiences.
What is
SOMATIC SEXOLOGY?
Somatic Sexology brings together somatics, the awareness of body sensations in the present moment, and sexology, the scientific study of human sexuality. Using awareness, breath, touch, sound and movement techniques to connect with the body and become present to how it responds and the sensations occurring within it. This leads to deeper embodied awareness and more pleasurable sexual experiences.
Below are some of the reasons people might see a Somatic Sexologist:
-
Learn to increase or access more pleasure in sex

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION ?
Sessions are 90 minutes. We start with an open chat about where you’re at, what you would like to explore together and I answer any curiosities or questions you may have. From there we move into the somatic experience using awareness, breath, movement, sound and touch in various combinations and/or intensities. At the end of our session, I will offer you some home exercises for you to continue learning and deepening your experience.
Working with
INDIVIDUALS
Pleasure is available in all bodies, regardless of how they look - we're all capable of feeling juicy, enjoying pleasure and being orgasmic. Cultivating a sexual relationship with yourself leads to greater pleasure, as well as deeper awareness of what to ask a sexual partner for. Focusing on your needs, I share ways to feel safe by honouring your personal boundaries, embodied consent and helping you to explore pleasurable experiences with curiosity.
Sexual exploration beyond the familiar develops new neural pathways, leading to greater enjoyment and a deeper connection with ourselves and others. I specialise in helping clients overcome shame and fear, achieve orgasm and experience more intense and diverse orgasmic experiences.
A ONE ON ONE APPROACH TO
HELP IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN AND HEAL IN
Through counselling I meet my clients where they are with warmth and acceptance, together we discuss what they would like to work on together. With a clear focus on what they desire to learn, I use awareness, breath, touch, sound and movement techniques to educate and support clients on ways to connect with their body, becoming present to how their body responds and sensations occur.
Working with
COUPLES
Healthy satisfying sex nourishes all parts of a relationship, but can be hard to maintain long-term, especially if eroticism hasn't been part of the relationship from the beginning. Intimacy can be impacted by all sorts of issues, from miscommunication to mismatched libidos, as well as outworn habits and the pressures of everyday life.
Together we can work on ways of bringing that spark to your relationship, connecting, deepening intimacy, and exploring that sexy aliveness. Our sessions may include techniques for improving communication, consent and boundaries (even in a relationship this is essential) as well as exploring needs and desires, ways to arouse and erotically touch each other, and ultimately deepen connection and pleasure for you both.
I work inclusively with all couples.
