Somatic Sexology is suited to those wanting guided, experiential support around sexuality, intimacy and embodied awareness.

Womb Massage is a specialised abdominal and pelvic bodywork for those wanting support with menstrual cycle awareness, pelvic tension or deeper connection to their lower abdomen.

Somatic Sexology

  • Somatic Sexology is a body-based experiential approach to sexuality and intimacy. It focuses on helping you reconnect with your body and sensations and supporting you to develop a more embodied and self-directed relationship with sexuality.

  • I work with individuals and couples who want to:

    • Reconnect with their body and sexual experience

    • Navigate challenges in sex and intimacy

    • Build awareness of physical and emotional patterns in relationships

    • Explore sexuality in a non-judgemental, grounded and self-directed way

  • Sessions are guided, experiential and body-led. We may explore posture, movement, touch, breath and awareness exercises. Sessions are held in a contained, non-judgemental space.

    • Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes.

    • Couples sessions are usually 90 minutes.

    • Frequency is flexible and depends on your needs - some clients meet weekly, others less frequently.

  • Your first session is an opportunity to:

    • Explore a challenge that is most present for you.

    • Learn about the process and what to expect

    • Begin exploring body awarness and somatic practices

    Together we co-create the space and move at a pace that feels appropriate for you.

  • No special preparation is required. Ensure you have a quiet, private space with enough room to move in.

    You may wish to reflect on what you want to explore or the challenges you are facing.

  • If you feel curious, stuck, or disconnected from your body, sexuality or intimacy, this work may be helpful. You do not need prior experience, and together we co-create the space.

  • You can reach me via the Book Now page, email or organise a Discovery Call. I am happy to answer questions about the process, sessions or any practical considerations before you book.

Lomi Lomi Massage

  • Lomi Lomi Massage is a traditional Hawaiian style of massage that uses flowing, rhythmic strokes to support relaxation and restore balance within the body. It works holistically with the nervous system rather than targeting isolated tension points.

  • Sessions take place on a massage table using oil. Draping is used at all times for privacy and comfort. The style is nurturing, continuous, and designed to enxourage deep relaxation

  • No. Lomi Lomi Massage is therapeutic bodywork. It is not erotic massage and does not involve sexual services.

Womb Massage

  • Womb Massage is a gentle abdominal practice that focuses on the lower belly and pelvic area. It can support awareness of held tension, connection to the menstrual cycle and overall pelvic wellbeing.

  • No. The work is external only. It involves gentle touch on the abdomen and surrounding areas.

  • Womb Massage may be supportive for those wanting to reconnect with their lower abdomen, navigate menstrual cycle-related discomfort, or explore pelvic tension in a contained and respectful space.
