WHAT IS INTIMACY COACHING
A tailored, one-on-one somatic (body-based) coaching journey to integrate your emotional and erotic self as a pathway to self-healing, self-worth, and better sex and relationships. The goal of Sex and Intimacy Coaching is to help you better understand your emotional and erotic self so that you can feel mentally resilient, share more of yourself with others, have better sex, and feel happier and more secure in your relationships.
With embodied self-awareness and practice expressing yourself comes the ability to attune to and communicate your unique capacity, boundaries, emotional needs, and sexual desires so that you can create a deeper physical and emotional connection with your primary partner, lover(s), people you're dating, and everyone you want to feel closer to.

Ready For True Connection?
- Dissociate from or suppress your feelings.
- Steamroll your capacity so that you can be productice or helpful.
- Compromise your boundaries because you don't want to disappoint others.
Beyond that, youre so busy that you rarely even think to center your pleasure.
- You rush through sex and self pleasure
- You feel a bit numb down there and sometimes you push yourself to endure sex that doesn't feel good because you want to please your partner, or just get it over with.
- You feel ashamed
If any of this resonates, you're in the right place to clear away the shame and fear that is blocking you from expressing yourself and getting what you need and desire.
MY COACHING PROGRAM IS PERFECT
FOR YOU IF...
You tend to have high expectations of yourself, which can cause you to override your capacity and boundaries and
put your feelings and desires on hold, leaving you feeling empty and disconnected.
You struggle to honestly express your feelings and needs, and when you do, you often don’t feel heard. You’ve had
partners get defensive, shut down or even trivializes you.
You have some fear around emotional intimacy. (I know, baring yourself to another can feel really scary!) You know
that this block is holding you back from connection (even with friends and family). You’ve tried everything, f
rom therapy to yoga, and you’re ready to take it to the next level.
You worry that you’re not enough or too much – not good enough in bed and life, your body isn’t “hot” enough,
you’ll be found out and rejected, you’re too old, too broken, too complicated, too needy.
You’re experiencing sexual dysfunction or low desire and it’s causing some tension in your relationship. You’re
ready to (finally) prioritize and spice up your sex life, yet you don’t know where to start.
You struggle to express yourself sensually and sexually. You find it hard to let go and truly enjoy sex, and even
talking about sex can feel hard, yet you’re ready to step more fully into your sexuality and bring more variety into your sex life.
When We Embrace Our Own Pleasure We Are Also Embracing Our Sovereignty
MY COACHING PROGRAM INCLUDES
A complimentary Discovery all (schedule HERE…) and debrief session (upon program completion). *** USE CALENDLY
Whatsapp, text or email support between sessions (you choose your preference).
Up to 2, 15-minute calls/month between sessions to work through realtime challenges you are facing in your dating life/relationship.
MY PROGRAM IS NOT FOR YOU IF...
You’re looking for quick hacks to improve your sex life or relationship.
You think your partner is the problem and you’re looking for ways to “fix” them.
You’re looking for sexological body work or sex work (Somatica is a clothing on method).

Hi, I'm Tovah and I'm a Trauma-Informed Somatic Sexologist.
In my practice I use a combination of focused conversation, experiential, and somatic methods in order to create a safe space, where I help clients explore authentic connections and practice tools to help them deepen intimacy and have fulfilling relationships.
((PICTURE HERE ??)
Tovah Petra's approach is holistic, recognizing that true progress stems from addressing both the mind and body. Tovah guides individuals and couples globally on their journey towards deeply fulfilling relationships and ecstatic sex. Tovah’s own experiences with challenging and traumatic life events have shaped her empathetic and non-judgmental approach, as she understands that unprocessed memories, energies and emotions get trapped into our bodies. She wholeheartly believes in the healing power of being seen and accepted unconditionally.
Tovah creates a safe and collaborative space, allowing you to freely explore, while feeling understood and supported in your journey. She believes the parts of ourselves we fear the most can hold the greatest power and potential. With empathy and attunement, she guides you through the territory of shame, celebrating and embracing suppressed aspects of yourself. She will help you create a vision for your life beyond the trauma of your past, and to create and achieve tangible goals to help you move towards this vision you have you have for your intimate self, your professional ventures, and your relationships.
She will support you in tapping into your own inner power to unfold, accept, and integrate all parts of yourself, and shape you into your most authentic and erotic version of yourself. To further embrace your truest self, Tovah will equip you with the tools of intimacy for genuine connection, increased joy, and heightened pleasure in your relationships with yourself and others.
Tovah is trained Somatica® Method Sex & Relationship Coach (Somatica® Institute, San Francisco) and holds a Masters degree in Human Development with an emphasis on Social Change. Her knowledge of Human Development combined with her experience to hold sacred space influences her unique and holistic take on the Somatica® Method. Tovah particularly enjoys working with adult attachment, relational trauma, self-esteem - supporting individuals and couples in having fulfilling relationships that fuel the rest of their lives. Offering courage, compassion, and guidance as they embrace their authentic selves and cultivate self-love, more fulfilling relationships, and greater embodied power.
In order to have successful relationships, it is essential that you have the interpersonal skills around
intimacy and touch to create lasting connections in your life. This is where I may be able to help
you practice some of the tools you need to achieve your relationship goals.
Using a 'relationship lab' technique, I work with individuals to practice real-life experiences
within the safety and boundaries of the Somatica® Method. While there can be some touch
included to help clients gain practical skills, the Somatica® Method is a fully legal, clothes-on method.
Somatic (body-based) coaching differs from other therapy in that it emphasizes your connection to your body. It also emphasizes the importance of experiences (as opposed to thoughts) as the central vehicle towards deeper freedom and choice. During our work together, there will be times when I invite you to experiment with yourself, and with me around emotions, touch, intimacy, and connection. All of these experiments are in service of you having a deeper understanding of your own internal process.
Touch is only used with your permission and you have the right to stop or change AT ANY TIME, for any reason, any touch or experience in which we are engaging. I will respond to your request respectfully and without question. While the focus of our work together is the improvement of your sexual and relational lives, there may be other areas of your life (i.e. work, school, family history, etc.), which inform your sexual and relational well-being so we may need to discuss these and other realms in order to help you move through relationship and intimacy blocks. I am NOT a licensed psychotherapist and am not required to be licensed in order to practice sex & relationship coaching in California.
Somatic sexology can work especially well when physical touch is a large roadblock to sexual well-being: overcoming sexual trauma, disability, impotence, body shame, and situations where it feels like your body is working against you.
