What is the Somatica Method?

The Somatica® Method is a holistic, loving, and systematic approach to intimacy and relationship coaching. 
Somatica Coaching is founded on the belief that the most efficient and effective way to transform shame and fully blossom into yourself is through pleasure. It invites people to move beyond shame, clarify their needs and boundaries, and live emotionally connected and erotically embodied lives. 
It prioritizes the experience of joy and satisfaction to build deep intimacy and authentic relationships.


Who Can Benefit?

Somatic Sex and Relationship Therapy can benefit individuals and couples looking to improve their relationship with themselves and their partners. It’s effective for those wanting to overcome issues like shame, low self-esteem, body image concerns, past sexual trauma, intimacy challenges, or difficulty expressing desires and needs. Additionally, it’s useful for those who want to break free from patterns of people-pleasing or co-dependency.

The Goal

The ultimate aim of Somatic Sex and Relationship Therapy is to empower individuals to live more authentic, connected lives by embracing their full range of emotions, sensations and desires. Through body-centered practices, they develop self-trust, healthy boundaries, and the ability to create satisfying, honest relationships.

What is Experiential Therapy?

In sessions with me, we have the option of entering into a "relationship lab" where you will have the opportunity to explore authentic and secure connection. We work together to create experiences that lead to joy, ease and pleasure in relationships and sex.  Traditional talk therapy has its merits, but it is limited to the realm of thoughts, concepts and words. In my work, I encourage people to get out of the theory and get into the lived experience of fulfilling and powerful connection with others.




Empathy, attunement and radical de-shamification are the keystones of my work.

Somatic Sex and Relationship Coaching can be beneficial for a wide range of individuals and couples. It’s especially helpful for people who struggle with issues related to intimacy, sexuality, body awareness, and emotional connection. Here are some specific groups and situations where Somatic Sex and Relationship Coaching might be particularly impactful:

1. People with a History of Trauma
  • Sexual or Physical Trauma: Those who have experienced sexual or physical abuse may carry deep-seated emotional and physical responses in their bodies that affect their ability to feel safe in intimate situations.
  • Emotional Trauma: People with histories of emotional abuse or neglect may struggle with trust, vulnerability, or connecting deeply with others.
2. Individuals with Body Image Issues
  • Those who feel disconnected from or ashamed of their bodies often find somatic therapy empowering, as it helps them build a positive relationship with their physical self and foster self-acceptance.
3. Couples Experiencing Sexual or Emotional Disconnection
  • For couples facing issues with intimacy, lack of desire, or communication, somatic therapy can help bridge gaps by allowing both partners to connect with their emotions, communicate openly, and understand each other’s needs and boundaries in a nonjudgmental way.
4. People Dealing with Sexual Shame or Guilt
  • Individuals who grew up in environments where sex was stigmatized or seen as shameful may have difficulty fully embracing their sexual selves. Somatic therapy can help them uncover and process these feelings, leading to greater comfort with their sexuality.
5. Individuals with Boundaries and Co-Dependency Issues
  • Somatic therapy is helpful for those who struggle to set boundaries or who fall into patterns of co-dependency, as it teaches self-awareness and the importance of honoring personal needs and limits.
6. People Seeking Authentic Connection
  • Those wanting deeper, more authentic connections may benefit from somatic work, as it encourages them to explore vulnerability, honesty, and presence within relationships.
7. Individuals Experiencing Difficulty with Desire and Arousal
  • People who struggle with low libido, difficulty experiencing arousal, or physical responses during intimacy can find somatic approaches beneficial. These methods help clients reconnect with sensation and desire, often uncovering underlying factors that impact arousal.
8. Those Working to Heal Relationship Patterns
  • Somatic therapy can help those who repeatedly experience negative relationship patterns, such as attracting unavailable partners, staying in unhealthy relationships, or struggling with jealousy. It allows individuals to understand these patterns at a body-based level and to develop new, healthier responses.
9. People Exploring Their Sexual Identity or Preferences
  • For individuals curious about their sexual identity, orientation, or preferences, somatic therapy provides a nonjudgmental space to explore desires, boundaries, and what genuinely feels right for them.
10. People on a Personal Growth Journey
  • Somatic therapy can be a powerful tool for anyone committed to self-discovery, authenticity, and growth. It helps individuals become more attuned to their inner worlds, empowering them to live more fulfilling, grounded lives.
