The word Somatic comes from the Greek root Soma, meaning ‘body’ and ‘the living organism in it’s wholeness’. The term is often used in connection with one’s health. Somatics recognizes that the mind/body/spirit are one. When we connect the vast intelligence of our body with the mind and spirit, powerful change, healing, expansion and growth are available. Somatics looks at the body as a place of evolutionary intelligence and learning.
Somatic Sex Education is a visceral experience, meaning you feel it. It is experiential learning.
It’s possible to spend many years in talk therapy working on understanding or bridging the gap between body and mind, and this certainly has it’s benefits, but there is a limit to how far talking can take you. Somatic education engages the body and senses, the whole self. Learning is often immediate and profound.
For example, if we want to learn to golf, we go to the greens and practice. If someone wants to become a chef, he or she takes classes in a kitchen. We can read and talk about it all we want, but eventually we need to take action to experience the learning. Practicing pleasure is empowering…and fun! When we learn new skills and ways of being with our self in an intimate way we open many doors to discovering and embracing our nature.
How do you walk in this world as an erotic being? Do you feel juicy and alive or are there places that you feel stuck and sensually lackluster? How do you express yourself and move through life? Are you tapping into your sexual energy and using it as a tool of personal power and vibrancy? Some questions to ruminate upon. Are you living an erotic, awakened life? What may be holding you back?
My role as a Somatic Sex Educator is to help people slow down, way down, to discover what it is they want, how to communicate what they want and to evoke empowerment and confidence within themselves. I invite people to embrace their power, to find and exercise their voice, make their own choices and to ask for what they want. It is an honor and privilege to guide people through the process of learning these skills so they may take them out into the world and exercise them in real life scenarios, partnerships and all relationships.
Once preliminary work has been done and a strong foundation of empowerment is embodied by a client there are many options to explore. “Pleasure mapping” is a wonderful modality in which to further expand the capacity for pleasure. I will guide you in how to use your breath to circulate arousal and tune, more deeply, into to your body. Breath is our greatest source of energy and aliveness, yet by the time we are adults many of us are breathing shallow and without much awareness of it’s importance toward increased vitality. I invite you to take a long, slow, deep inhale right now…breathe in and exhale with a vocal sigh… ahhhh… What do you notice? How do you feel? Do it again..perhaps a few more times. What changes did you notice?
Mapping of pleasure explores new styles of touch and a variety of different pressure, strokes, caresses and tempos.. I act as a guide to help you experience new sensations and levels of awareness in the body. The purpose of this kind of touch is to awaken to where the sensitivities are in the body, to explore new styles of sensate focus and to use this playful activity as an opportunity for growth and sensitivity discovery.
Our history resides in the body, both traumatic and pleasurable memories are stored in our cells, muscles and the fibre of our being. When we work with the body there is a direct link to what may need attention, reflection or releasing and the opportunity for self healing can occur. You are your own healer, your body is a teacher. I am a skilled facilitator that leads you to discover your own treasures and how to tap into the wisdom and magnificence of your being.
Somatic Sex Education is a body-based approach to exploring sexuality, intimacy, and pleasure in a way that’s deeply personal, safe, and empowering. Instead of focusing on performance or technique, this work invites you to slow down, tune in, and truly listen to your body’s wisdom. Through breath, movement, touch, and guided practices, you learn to release tension, reconnect with sensation, and expand your capacity for pleasure and presence. It’s about reclaiming your body as your own—worthy, wise, and wonderfully alive.
The benefits ripple far beyond the bedroom. Somatic Sex Education can help dissolve shame, heal past wounds, deepen self-trust, and cultivate a more loving relationship with your body. It supports nervous system regulation, enhances emotional resilience, and opens the door to authentic intimacy—first with yourself, then with others. Whether you’re rediscovering your sensual self after years of disconnection, or simply curious about what else is possible, this work gently guides you home to the full spectrum of your erotic aliveness.
