Somatic Sexuality Coaching + Bodywork

In Person Sessions

Whether you’re an individual or a couple, in-person sessions are tailored to give you an experiential learning environment where you can discover new ways of being through body-based practices.

Sessions for

Individuals

One-on-one somatic coaching and bodywork can help address a range of challenges that come in the way of you feeling free and fully expressed as an erotic being.

Sexual Anxiety + shame

Just the thought of sex fills you with a sense of dread. You don’t like your body and you don’t trust your skills.

When you’re presented with an opportunity, you find yourself freezing, overthinking, unable to enjoy the moment, and spiralling into shame afterwards.

Low Desire + Lack of orgasm

Sexual pleasure feels like a mystery to you. You don’t crave it because it’s not that great anyways.

And orgasm? What’s that? It’s easier to put it all on the back burner and focus your attention elsewhere. But you still catch yourself wondering…what if it could be different?

Painful Sex

Sex feels challenging because it’s always associated with pain, specifically around penetration.

You may have tried a number of things, but nothing seems to help. Maybe you’ve decided this is just your fate, and that idea has left you feeling broken and hopeless.

Difficulty getting aroused

It feels hard to get going, and you struggle with a sense of pressure when your partner is ready and you’re not. This just adds to your anxiety.

Whether this shows up as erectile dysfunction or lack of lubrication, it creates stress in your interactions.

Early Ejaculation

You’ve tried everything: Thinking unsexy thoughts, counting, stopping and starting. And yet, your body is still gripped by fear.

All you can think about is holding on, while you miss all the joy and connection in the moment.

Porn Addiction

Porn provides a lovely escape from your day to day stresses, but you find yourself turning to it more often than you like.

Suddenly, it seems to consume you, and you find yourself losing interest in real connections and feeling out of body as you’re sucked into the screen. You want to get off the roller coaster, but you’re not sure how.

  • "Seeing Monica has been such an empowering experience. She has helped me to achieve confidence that not only applies to relationships and sex but to everyday life. I am more confident in recognizing what it is that I want and not being afraid to ask for it. I am more present, and have been able to turn my brain off and be fully in the moment. "

    -Stefanie

  • "Working with Monica has truly changed my life.I have not only found sex to be so much more pleasurable but daily activities as well. My confidence has doubled in all aspects of my life and this is the first time I have ever felt whole."

Sessions For

Couples

Couples sessions offer an interactive space where partners can practice guided, hands-on skills with one another, while growing in their capacity to communicate and be intimate.

Building communication skills

Does it feel terrifying to share your sexual desires with your partner? Maybe you feel uncertain about what it is you even want to ask for. Perhaps every attempt at communication ends in argument.

Building healthy communication skills allows you to move beyond blockages and create more flow and intimacy.

Bridging desires + sexual styles

Different people have different needs. Perhaps you and your partner desire different levels of frequency, or have different ways of expressing yourselves sexually.

You can bridge the gap by learning to speak your partner’s sexual language, and by better understanding their unique needs.

Improving touch skills

Touch is so much more than just technique. It involves being present in one’s own body first, and then becoming exquisitely attuned to your partner’s body. Once this is in place, we can begin to refine our motor skills to create an exciting sensory journey for the person we are touching, all while reading their body with our hands.

Exploring Tantra + Sacred Sexuality

Tantra is an approach to spirituality that welcomes sexuality and invites the integration of sex and spirit.

As such, there are many practices involving breath, circulation of energy, and conscious touch that can help couples cultivate divine union and bring your lovemaking to the next level.

Exploring BDSM + Power Exchange

BDSM can be a beautiful path to explore trust, polarity, and add dimension to your relationship.

Sessions will help you with building confidence in your techniques, understanding your own and your partner’s archetypes and psychology, and crafting mind blowing scenes that will leave you buzzing.

Deepening Intimacy + Trust

Your body can only surrender as deeply as you are willing to trust.

Cultivating embodied intimacy and co-regulation help couples drop into deeper connection and coherence with one another.

  • "What an incredible session! I don't think I've ever felt this connected to my partner. We had gotten into such a rut I had no idea that slowing down and being in our bodies could make such a difference"

    -M and K

  • "Thank you Monica! I was feeling so frustrated trying to communicate what I need to my husband. You've given us tools and language to understand ourselves, and now we can use that knowledge to meet each other more fully. This has been a game changer".

    -Beth and Peter

  • Before we met Monica sex and intimacy was very challenging and riddled with anxiety. It was a struggle and created distance between us. Since we met Monica things are much better, we both recognize the importance of intimacy in our broader connection and more importantly can communicate when things go off the rails. Frustration has shifted to compassion. Need and wants are communicated clearly without anger and hostility.

Hands on learning

Bodywork

Bodywork allows clients to experience full body, one-way touch, in service to their learning and growth.

All touch involves ongoing consent, communication, and follows a specific intention that we set for that session.

pleasure mapping

“How do you like to be touched?” - this is one of the most difficult questions for people to answer. The sad truth is, most of us don’t know.

Pleasure mapping teaches your body the range of possibilities available to you, and helps you better understand what works for you and what doesn’t.

Empowerment Massage

Do you ever struggle in communicating your needs? Empowerment massage* (term coined by sexuality and consent educator, Matthias Schwenteck) offers clients an opportunity to track desire within themselves and practice asking for what they want, moment to moment.

This is a completely client-led bodywork experience.

Yoni / Lingam Massage

Yoni and Lingam are the Sanskrit terms for vulva/vagina and penis, respectively. In this practice, clients are encouraged to drop into a space of receiving without goal.

Conscious yoni and lingam massage can help to address past sexual trauma, reawaken pleasure and teach the body to hold more expanded states of arousal.

Genital Mapping

Conventional sex education often revolves around simplified anatomy and pregnancy prevention. Hardly any of us were taught about the intricate beauty of our reproductive anatomy, and numerous ways that pleasure can become available to us.

This hands-on experience provides clients with the knowledge and confidence to understand their unique physiology and access pleasure with more ease.

Dearmouring

Armouring it a habitual pattern of tension, often held in place in order to manage an unpleasant sensation or emotion. We armour ourselves in response to overwhelming experiences.

When we hold armouring in the pelvic floor and genital area, it can prevent us from accessing our innate capacity for pleasure. Genital dearmouring works with the pelvic floor, combined with breath and intention to help release holding patterns and return to sensation.

Guided Self Pleasure and Dearmoring

Part of the journey toward becoming a sexually sovereign and empowered being is to understand our own bodies and how to create experiences for ourselves.

Guided sessions, whether it be self pleasure or self dearmouring, provides the live coaching and support for you to learn to master these skills for yourself and build the intuition to be able to continue them effortlessly at home.

  • “Monica is a gifted healer. Within the session there were moments when waves of emotion arose in me and she compassionately welcomed my outflow of words, wonder and tears. I felt safe in her presence and precious beneath her touch.

    Geoff G.

  • Monica gives of herself fully in her sessions, and it comes through: in her touch, in her energy, in her poise and presence. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Monica!

    Marc S.

  • Monica is a healer who with touch not only heals the body, but as well the connection with emotions, psyche and “soul”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions typically includes a combination of coaching + somatic practices. *(Somatic = body-based)

Our somatic practices may include breathwork, movement, sound, body based meditation, or touch.

  • Somatic means body-based.

    It comes from the Greek word soma, which descries the mind and the body as a single unity.

    Somatic work always incorporates the body through awareness, feeling and sensing, and may make use of practices that involve breath, sound, movement and touch.

    The goal of somatic work is to rewire and integrate experience from the bottom up.

  • Most types of therapy, including sex therapy, are heavily talk-based, meaning clients spend most of the session developing a cognitive understanding of their situation, and perhaps doing some emotional processing.

    Somatic therapies aim to include some awareness of the body and may include breath, sound and movement as part of the process.

    However, licensed therapists are strictly forbidden from providing any intimate touch (for good reason)!

    Somatic Sex Educators/Sexological Bodyworkers are NOT licensed therapists, therefore they are able to provide intimate touch as part of the healing journey for the client.

  • All sessions are unique, but typically our work begins with somatic coaching + education, and over the course of several sessions we progress toward bodywork. (To learn more about bodywork, scroll further down to the next section)

    Our coaching + education may involve things like cultivating deeper body awareness, learning to utilize breathwork techniques, practicing communication skills, and discovering your arousal anatomy.

    Bodywork allows us to put together your foundational skills in a setting where you can receive full body touch.

  • Sadly, no. While I do have training in psychotherapy, I am NOT a licensed psychotherapist. nor am I providing psychotherapy. This is because my work involves providing full body touch, and those two things are mutually exclusive. Only licensed professions are eligible for insurance.

  • Somatic coaching in done clothing-on, where clients work on cultivating things like nervous system regulation, using breath as a tool for arousal, tracking boundaries and desires, and building deeper body awareness.

    Bodywork allows us to bring it all together in a space where clients can opt to receive full body touch.

  • As a sexological bodyworker, I’m trained in offering full body one-way touch. This is always done with prior consent and ongoing dialogue, in service to the client’s learning goals.

    All touch is client centered, while I, as the facilitator, stay fully clothed. The touch can include genital touch if the client wishes, and arousal is welcome, though not a goal.

    For more on bodywork, please continue reading below.

  • No. The way I work is strictly through one-way touch, meaning you can ask me to touch you, and your attention remains within yourself.

    One-way touch provides a unique opportunity where you can let go of any self imposed pressure around performance, reciprocation, and distraction. These sessions are a space for you to receive and focus on yourself.

    Two-way touch is also valuable for other learning goals, and if you feel strongly called to that, there are other practitioners I can refer you to.

  • I wear non-latex gloves for all genital and anal touch, for all clients. This is non-negotiable.

    In addition, all surfaces are thoroughly disinfected after each use.
