Somatic sex coaching sessions for women and people in intimate partnership.

Somatic sex coaching is a body-based approach to sexual health and pleasure. Instead of just talking about what is in your head, we listen to what your body is saying too. We use body-centered tools like awareness practices, breathwork, mindfulness, guided self-touch, and other practices to explore what you are experiencing sexually and where you want to get to. It is educational, hands-on (self-touch, not me touching you), and deeply focused on what your body is telling you.

I integrate several body-based approaches to support you:

Somatic Sexology & Sex Coaching — Body-centered sex education and practices including breath work, nervous system practices, guided self-touch and pleasure exploration (always clothes on, always led by you), understanding arousal and orgasm, and learning how your unique body responds.

Process-Oriented Psychology — Following what is emerging in the moment rather than following a predetermined plan—working with dreams, body sensations, relationship dynamics, and what wants to be felt.

Womb Awakening Practices — Connecting to the deep intelligence of your pelvis and womb, understanding your body's cycles and rhythms, and reconnecting with your erotic and creative life force.

Nervous System Education — Understanding when you feel safe versus when you are in protection mode, and building your capacity to stay present with sensation and pleasure.

Yes. As a licensed psychotherapist trained in trauma work, I can work with trauma therapeutically when that is what is needed. We work with your nervous system first and foremost, establishing safety and resources before anything else. This means:

• No rushing. Healing from trauma or reconnection after disconnection is not linear. We move at the pace that feels right in your body, not according to any predetermined timeline.

• Your body leads. I follow what is emerging for you rather than imposing prescriptive techniques or scripts. Some sessions might be entirely talking and awareness practices. Others might include guided self-touch or embodiment exercises, but only when your body signals readiness.

• Integration over breakthrough. Real, lasting transformation happens through practice and patience, not forced catharsis. We build slowly, gently, and lovingly so the changes become permanent.

When appropriate to your healing and with explicit consent, I may guide you through self-touch practices during our online sessions. This is always:

• Clothes on (or with modifications you feel comfortable with)

• Focused on sensation and awareness, never performance

• Completely optional and never pressured

• Done at your pace with continuous check-ins

• A tool for learning, not an end goal

Many clients work with me for months before incorporating any touch practices. Others find it immediately helpful. Importantly, you get to decide what is right for you.

This depends entirely on what you are working with and what your goals are. Some people find clarity and practices in just a few sessions. Others work with me over months or years as part of their ongoing healing and sexual awakening journey. There is no pressure to commit to a certain number of sessions. We can work together one session at a time and assess as we go.

Your comfort and consent are paramount. You can pause, slow down, or stop at any time. I will regularly check in with you, and I encourage you to speak up if anything feels uncomfortable, overwhelming, or just not right. Sometimes discomfort is part of growth (like the vulnerable edge of trying something new), and sometimes it is a signal to slow down or change direction. We will navigate this together, and your body's wisdom always leads.

Yes. The 90-minute session is designed for people in intimate partnerships (couples or any relationship configuration). We can work on desire discrepancies, communication, intimacy after disconnection, navigating conflict, or deepening pleasure together. Both people need to be consenting and willing to engage in the work.

All sessions are conducted online via Zoom. This allows me to work with clients across Australia and creates a safe, private space for you to do this intimate work from the comfort of your own home.

As a PACFA-registered psychotherapist, some private health funds may provide a rebate for psychotherapy sessions. However, coverage varies between funds and policies. I recommend checking with your health fund directly to confirm whether somatic psychotherapy or sex therapy is covered under your plan. There is no Medicare rebate available for this work.

I occasionally have a limited number of sliding scale spots available for people experiencing financial hardship. If cost is a barrier, please mention this when you book your discovery call and we can discuss options.

I do not diagnose or treat:

• Pelvic floor dysfunction

• Chronic pelvic pain (as a primary medical condition)

• Structural pelvic issues

• Medical conditions requiring clinical intervention

When these concerns are present, I work collaboratively with pelvic floor physiotherapists, gynecologists, and other medical professionals. I can provide referrals to trusted practitioners in my network.
