Sexological bodywork involves conversation with the possibility for touch, movement and breathwork. I specialise in working with queer and trans people and with those who have survived sexualised violence, including childhood sexual abuse. I also have experience working with disabled clients.
For many people, it can feel useful to explore touch outside of a partnered context, as there is less distraction from another person’s needs or expectations. Being able to direct touch in a controlled, predictable environment can be a powerfully transformative experience for people who have survived violence, at both the interpersonal and societal levels.
The story of what it means to receive touch can be rewritten at a deep embodied level, moving away from fear, shame and disconnection and into pleasure.
I always notice the powerful immediacy of working with the body. Somatic practices for finding pleasure and safety with others can teach us a lot about our patterns in all kinds of intimacies, not just sex. This work can be valuable for anyone who wants to transform habitual relational patterns and cultivate greater aliveness and confidence in their body.
