About Sex and Sensibility: I have a background in neuroscience /neurobiology & spent the past decade exploring tools and modalities around emotional release and Somatic bodywork. Trained as a relationship/intimacy coach with the Somatica® Institute before embarking on the path of Sexological Bodywork & Somatic Sex Education with the ISSSE where I'm currently completing my training. I hold trainings in performance hypnosis, doula training, lactation education, dominatrix work, business coaching, Hakomi Psycotherapy and psychedelic guidance/integration. I am currently enrolled in Ellen Heed's STREAM training (Scar Tissue Remediation Education and Management) with a focus on holistic pelvic care. My emphasis is on emerging from shame, increased choicefulness, pattern recognition, improved communication & boundary setting. I hold a space where my clients can safely and authentically show up in their bodies and minds, dark side and all, and be met there. The work I do is client-led, in service to stepping more into wholeness, happiness & eroticism. www.mysexandsensibility.com
