Somatic Practices That Will Support You In Our Sessions…
The ways that I can help are vast and varied, depending on your needs. These are the Somatic practices and skills that I support my clients with plus skills I have learnt through extensive training and experience of 16 years working with people on their relationship with their bodies, sex and sexuality.
Choosing these is always a collaborative process with my clients.
Experiencing more pleasure - Helping you connect to your body and bring the parts of your body that have been off line, back on. This is done through a number of ways depending on each individual. Including these below.
Communication - Helping you to feel what is a yes and a no and communicate that through Wheel Of Consent practices. This could involve speaking games between us to help build your confidence with communication and embodied sense of feelings.
Body Confidence - Helping you with body confidence around getting undressed and being naked through mirror work practices that support you in coming home to your body, finding deep compassion and radical acceptance. An antidote to faddy diets and pushing your body beyond what you enjoy physically though exercise.
Needs and Desires - Using talking coaching sessions to explore your needs, desires and sexuality.
Genital Mapping - This can be through self touch or by myself depending on what feels right and if were in person or on zoom. This is exploring parts of your genitals and can be internal or external. Benefits of this are being able to notice if you have numbness pain, struggle to feel anything during sex. Genital mapping literally helps you create a map of your body so you can better understand it. During these sessions I use specific talking coaching methods which help connect new neural pathways and help you feel more. This can be really helpful if you have scar tissue.
Scar Tissue Remediation - When we develop scar tissue that continues to produce Collagen which penetrates through the different layers of the skin. This process is amazing and helps us heal but can also cause a knock on effect with a woolly jumper type effect where it pulls other tissues and can cause pain and discomfort, pelvic floor issues, back pain, numbness or changes in sensation. Scar tissue also holds implicit memory, or subconscious memories. Working to help break down scar tissue also helps integrate the emotional and mental blocks and sticking points that may have been created around that also. Its an incredibly powerful modality that helps physically as well as emotionally. This can be done to any part of the body.
Body Poem Sessions - Helping you to connect with what your feeling in the body and find radical acceptance.
Orgasmic Yoga - Helping you explore your sensuality and body through breath work, music and meditation.
Masturbation Coaching - Many people feel a tremendous amount of shame when it comes to self pleasure. If you have got used to relying on pornography or only using a vibrator and struggle to reach climax with hands or mouth it may be that you have become desensitized or that your body and mind has got used to that one way of reaching climax. With masturbation coaching we start with talking sessions to help you understand your relationship with self pleasure and where you can expand that exploration. Ultimately the more you understand and connect with your body the more pleasure you’ll feel and the more you can communicate that with any partners.., I can help you with that bit also.
Creative Processes
It can be helpful to add creative process in to this work, especially if you are a visual or creative person. Scrap booking, journaling, drawing and crafting have become part of my practice and can be use to help with processing and intergration.
Empowering you
As I said at the beginning, any sex coaching with myself begins with talking.
It may all be talking or depending on what comes up for you. Before any hands on work takes place, it’s imperative both my students and myself are confident in feeling their most empowered HELL YES!! and when something is a NO! This means you understand your boundaries and can communicate them and won’t experience the possibility of being re traumatized or something happening you are not comfortable with.
