My approach supports personal transformation through mindfulness and embodied awareness. These skills empower you to move beyond familiar patterns such as anxiety and shame – so you can expand your pleasure, improve relationships and feel more at home in yourself and aligned with your desires.
Your body already holds the wisdom. This work is not about fixing you – it’s about reconnecting you to yourself, your desires and your capacity to love and be loved.

– Sex Coaching –
Hello, I’m Ant – a queer/gay trained bodyworker, certified in sexology and counselling, with over seven years of experience in massage and the adult industry. Based in Melbourne, I specialise in somatic practices that support healing, pleasure and personal growth.
I use a blend of mindfulness, embodied learning and somatic tools to help clients cultivate calm, present engagement with themselves and their partners. My trauma-informed approach integrates counselling and touch-based modalities to guide clients safely toward meaningful change in sexuality, relationships and wellbeing.
With a commitment to kindness, respect and authenticity, I create a welcoming space for queer, bi, trans and gay men to explore and expand their embodied experience.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘working somatically’ look like?
By working with your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) in mind, we can co-create an experience of ‘safety’ from which to explore growth, change and connection. 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.
What does ‘somatic’ mean?
Somatic means ‘of the body’. It is synonymous with ’embodied’. Eg. Imagine learning how to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. The easiest way to learn is to get on the bike and learn by doing (first with training wheels). That is embodied learning.
‘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 dont remember how it got there?
Can I bring my partner(s)?
Yes! I work with intimate couples, polycules and other forms of relationship. Whether you want to access new pathways to pleasure or explore an issue that’s causing some pain.
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
What is ‘somatic practice’? What are ‘somatic inquiries’?
Somatice practice is how I teach embodied learning (see ‘What does ‘somatic’ mean?’). It is a practical exercice intended to foster change. Somatic practices require repetition in order to be effective long term.
Somatic inquiries are similar however they are intented to generate insight, even if that insight is ‘not much’. They are more likely to develop over time as more information is revealed.
Do sessions include touch?
Sessions always centre your choice, intentions and boundaries. Counselling sessions may include one-way touch but no nudity.
Sex Coaching sessions may include one-way or mutual touch and nudity when it supports the purpose of our work.
