Somatic Intimacy

Somatic intimacy sessions are a journey of softening into our fullness, allowing space to be with what is, and the metamorphosis that follows.

 

'Soma' = the wholeness of an organism: body, mind, spirit and all that has shaped them.

 

Intimacy = 'into me I see'. 

 

Somatic intimacy teaches us that everything is welcome, that you are your greatest guide and know yourself best. These therapy sessions blend together somatic experiencing, the brain body being method, nature reconnection and somatic sexology/sexological body work practices.

 

As a somatic therapist (in training), educator, sexologist and nature re-connection guide, I am here to hold a space for you to slowly open into all that you are, I am here to remind you that your body knows, and I am here to support you on your journey into deeper connection with your body.

 

I am deeply passionate about co-creating a space together so we can explore how embodiment, pleasure and empowerment wants to bloom in your life. I believe somatic intimacy is a portal into the landscapes of our bodies, into deeper connection with nature and human kin, into peace, pleasure, healing, and collective liberation. These sessions are not just about eros (the creative, pulsing life force that is far beyond 'sex'), sensuality and sexuality, they are a space to enrich your intimacy with yourself and body, in whatever way feels good for you.

​

I am deeply rooted in this 'work', and feel it is my way of being. I have lived experience with sexual abuse, rape, institutional violence, chronic illnesses, pain, neurodivergence, queerness, crippling loneliness, homelessness, severe mental health challenges and near death experiences. I bridge my in-depth studies and training, with my nuanced lived experience in the work that I offer. The spaces and practices I offer are ones that saved my life, and continue to lead me out of the dark abyss, into raw, vibrant, resilient, connection with life.

You may resonate with what I offer if you:

​​

• Are a deep human being, who longs to swim into the underwater caverns of your body and explore all the truthful wisdom that lives there

• Struggle to ‘participate’ in the systems of society, and yearn for a life and relationships that are more aligned with your body and truth

• Feel the call from within, to journey towards the life you long to live

• Want to delve into your pleasure, intimacy, sensuality, sexuality and eros

• Are a survivor of sexual trauma, and want support from someone who deeply innerstands being with those wounds, and the soft reclamation of empowerment

• Are a part of queer community

• Are neurodivergent, and yet maybe feel stifled by labels and want to live by your own expansive truth and creative expression 

• Want to nurture and cultivate more play and curiosity in your life

• Are deeply devoted to (or yearn to be) land, nature, Earth, Spirit, kin and want to deepen this connection

​

Together we will co-create a space where you can:
 

• Slow to the pace of trust, and move with the pace of your body

• Softly and slowly retune with your body and the earth

• Reconnect with your inner knowing

• Learn skills and practices to attune to, and soothe your nervous system

• Slowly replace and outdated beliefs, relational and nervous system patterns, for new fulfilling ones

• Release charges that have been stored in your body, and create more spaciousness

• Nourish a deeper connection to your inner intimacy, pleasure, playfulness, sensuality, menstrual cycle and natural rhythms

• Develop confidence in your self expression, communication and reception of needs, boundaries, limits, consent and desires

• Explore how to relate to those you love from more truthful, heartfelt and womb held places, and expand your capacity for connection and intimacy

• Build emotional and erotic fluency and inner resilience

Some gentle reminders:

​

• You are not too much

• You are not too little

• You don’t need to know exactly what you want from the session, we can discover this together

• You don’t need any prior experience with embodiment or somatic work

• You don’t need to have it all figured out or be “healed” (nobody is hehe!) 

• You don't need to share anything you don't want to

• You don't need to have a 'sexual' relationship to yourself or others

• You don’t need to be “spiritual" or "ready enough”

I offer sessions on a sliding scale of £50-£80. If you truly do not have the funds for this please, reach out about your financial needs. I deeply care about offering sessions (when I can), even when funds are not available in exchange.

​

Please note that all sessions are held online through Google Meet.

*co-explorer is the word I like to use instead of 'client'. This is because it aligns to my intentions of co-creating space, sessions and learning, as well as moving away from the clinicalness and power dynamics infused within a lot of therapy modalities.
