What is somatic sex therapy?


I want to commend you for exploring this path of self-inquiry and deeper embodiment. Somatic sex therapy is a healing modality that uses hands-on education to help one expand their erotic experience and awareness through embodied sexual wellbeing.  It is also a unique body centric therapy for those who want to heal from physical, emotional and sexual trauma with the support of an experienced and compassionate guide.  Working with our body is a direct way of bringing forth change and healing. Many of my clients have sought out classical talk therapy and have found that this somatic approach helped them heal and access parts of themselves that they were not able to before.

The focus of somatic sex therapy, also known as "sexological bodywork", is on healing and erotic embodiment - the active awakening of one's body through the practice of fully inhabiting one's sensations and feelings. Through mindful touch this holistic approach helps the receiver deepen, restore, and integrate their sexuality and wisdom into their body and the rest of their life. 

 

Some of the instructive modalities used include: breathwork, movement, touch,  pelvic floor release, scar tissue remediation, embodiment coaching, and tantric teachings.
