What is a Somatic Sex Coach or Sexological Bodyworker?

A somatic sex coach or sexological bodyworker is someone who can assist people in exploring sex and sexuality from an internal process and experience of their bodies.  These educators have a number of skills to assist with a range of issues that have formed around sex and sexuality or from a desire to learn more about themselves and to expand their knowledge and pleasure capacity.  Somatic education means learning is emphasised around an internal exploration of the physical perception in the body.  We may understand concepts intellectually but unless we are able to connect to the the visceral body experience, our understanding will remain limited and often feel stuck.

We are here to also help you bring FUN and PLAYFULNESS back into your life.  PLEASURE has often been associated with something bad or self serving.  Learning to listen to body sensations, pleasure can bring us back home to ourselves, healing body mind and heart. 
​
Why Somatic Sex Education?

For many, our experiences of sex education began with seeing movies, discussions in the school yard, hidden self exploration, chats with parents and sex education at school.  Most of our formal education focused on the functionality of sex and how to have safe sex to avoid pregnancy and STIs.  Then, as we begin to have sex, the partner/s and experiences we had gave us a view of our bodies and how we function sexually. These experiences are not always empowering or informative.  They almost certainly were not focused around understanding pleasure, the pleasure anatomy of your body, how sexual energy can be very healing and how to nurture ourselves by taking care of our sexual energy. This is where I step in.
What can a Somatic Sex Educator help with?

We can help with a range of desires or issues in relation to sex and sexuality.  These include:
  • ​Expanding orgasmic potential
  • Dealing with body image issues
  • Learning about your anatomy
  • Boundaries and consent
  • Changing habits around self pleasure or within relationships
  • Pre-ejaculation
  • Loss of libido
  • Vaginismus
  • Mismatched libidos in couples
  • Scar tissue remediation post surgery
  • Re-estabilishing connection to your genitals post birth or surgery
  • Anal anatomy, exploration and pleasure
  • And a whole lot more....
 What does a session look like?
​
Sessions can be for individuals, couples or groups.  Each session is client led.  This is a very important part of our approach as educators to create a safe space in which people feel curious to explore.  We take time to establish a basis to work from.  Each session can look very different.  Often it will include breath, sound, movement, touch, curiosity and other exercises to assist the learning objective.   This space is a “learning space” which will allow the client to take this new found knowledge home to use their “play space.”  It's all about you, your learning and connecting to your pleasure.
How long are the sessions and what do they cost?
​
Sessions run for 90 mins and cost $150. 
Protocols of Sexological Bodyworkers 

As bodyworkers, our goal is to really take care of our clients but also maintaining a high level of professionalism in our work.  Here are some principles and protocols we agree to as Practitioners:
  • The practitioner’s chief focus and primary ethical responsibility is for the clients’ wellbeing.
  • The practitioner works to establish a relationship which the client experiences as safe, consensual and fully engaged.
  • The practitioner works to support the client into their experience of embodiment. When consensual touch is included it is for the purposes of the client’s learning & growth.
  • During the session, the practitioner is fully and consistently at the service of the client’s personal growth.
  • The practitioner commits to their own personal growth, professional development and ongoing self care.
  • The practitioner is aware of the potential for attraction within the client practitioner relationship and ensures the focus is on the clients’ growth & learning.
  • The practitioner practices in a way that is free of narcissistic gratifications such as gratifications of authority, power, sensual pleasure and admiration.
  • There is no sexual relationship between the client and practitioner.
  • Practitioners remain fully clothed during the session.
  • Touch is one way - practitioner to client.  Any genital touch will involve the use of gloves.
