Skills and Qualifications
Embodied Counselling
Embodied Counselling integrates the somatic, emotional and cognitive realms, using simple yet powerful tools – breath, touch, sound, movement, and awareness – to support personal growth.
Through this practice, you’ll gain deeper insight into your experience, strengthen your connection with yourself and others, and develop greater resilience in navigating life’s challenges. As your sense of agency expands, so does your ability to move through anxiety, stress, relational struggles, and feelings of stuckness or overwhelm.
This holistic approach meets you where you are, offering practical, body-based pathways to healing and transformation.
Sexological Bodywork
A safe, supportive space for adult sex education, open to all genders, sexualities, and bodies. Sessions are tailored to your needs, whether focused on resolving challenges or expanding your erotic potential.
Issue-Focused: Address concerns like early ejaculation, difficulty climaxing or porn addiction.
Goal-Oriented: Develop arousal control, heighten pleasure, and explore new dimensions of your sexuality.
All sessions follow a strict ethical code, with clear boundaries set before each appointment—ensuring a professional, respectful, and empowering experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do sessions include touch and/or nudity?
Counselling sessions do not include nudity or erotic touch. Any supportive touch is:
- non-sexual/non-sensual in nature,
- fully-clothed,
- directed by the client, and
- in service of our work together
Sex Coaching sessions may include one-way or mutual erotic touch and nudity. The intention of these sessions is to develop your skills in exploring yourself and navigating partnered touch.
Sessions always centre your choice, intentions and boundaries.
What happens in a session?
Although non-linear, your time with me might include:
- working closely with the Autonomic Nervous System to cultivate embodied safety – the foundation for deep healing, learning and growth
- guided somatic inquiry to uncover insights, increase awareness and support integration
- releasing stuck patterns and accessing new pathways of being and relating
Can I bring my partner(s)?
I am yet to work with couples or polycules and would like to extend my skills into this area. If you’re curious about bringing another human into the room with us, let’s discuss.
What does ‘somatic’ mean?
Somatic means ‘of the body’ or ’embodied’.
Imagine learning how to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. The easiest way to learn is to get on the bike (first with training wheels). That is embodied learning. I am your training wheels.
‘Embodiment’ also refers to the skill of being aware of one’s body. Have you ever found a small scratch or bruise on your body and you don’t remember how it got there?
What does ‘working somatically’ look like?
Through both dialogue and embodied play, we work with your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) in mind. I empower clients to monitor their own ANS in ever more finite detail. I teach them how to intentionally regulate themselves in order to take more control over their experience of being in the world.
