This is something you’ve struggled with for a while. You’ve thought about it a lot, tried some things to figure it out, and maybe you even spoke to your regular psych about it, but none of it really made a difference.

It’s a bit uncomfortable to talk about and you’re worried it might never get better. You hope that getting some support from someone whose actually specialises in sex might help, but what if it doesn’t? What if you’re just broken?

These are all really normal worries - issues relating to sex and intimacy can be particularly tender, and can come with all kinds of stories about what it might mean for us or our relationships. Sometimes it feels like things will never get better.

I can tell you now there’s nothing wrong with you, and while the path doesn’t always look the way we think it should, so much is actually possible.

A somatic approach to sex and intimacy understands that the body is KEY to our relationship with sex and intimacy and pleasure. We can talk and think about these things for a long time and never fully make the change we want to see or experience, but starting to work intentionally with the body can make a world of difference. The nervous system, the way we hold our bodies, how deeply we breathe, the body’s experience of safety (or unsafety), where we place our awareness, are just a few dimensions of how the body can all deeply influence our relationship with sex and intimacy and our capacity for pleasure and connection.

Through dialogue, education and understanding as well as body-based inquiry, I offer a non-judgmental space to explore issues related to sex and intimacy that are actually relevant to you, your gender, sexuality and sexual practices, and the communities you belong to.
