Sexological Bodyworkers in Australia are trained and certified through the Institute of Somatic Sexology. I am certified and a current member of the Somatic Sex Educators Association of Australasia and as such work in adherence to their professional code of ethics.

Some of the bounderies of the work are: Touch is one way (from practitioner to client) and protocols such as wearing gloves are adhered to during genital and anal touch.

Sexological Bodyworkers are erotic educators and offer deep experiential learning that is designed to awaken and enliven your sensual, sexual self. description

First off – it’s vital to know that sexological body worker and Intimacy coaching does not involve sex. Practitioners always keep their clothes on – the only professionals legally allowed to have sex with clients are sexual surrogates – and you must be in treatment with a sex therapist to see a surrogate legally.

That being said, sexological body worker and Intimacy coach can use hands-on methods to teach sexual skills. They can also practice certain types of touch and seduction, within legal boundaries. For example, teaching arousing types of touch for the body, physical disinhibition, and passionate touch.

Research shows that online therapeutic sessions are as effective as in-person ones. They even come with a whole set of additional benefits like:

1. ACCESSIBILITY. There are plenty of physical barriers to accessing in-person professional help. Online sessions help sweep these geographic hurdles aside. Distance is no longer a barrier. There is someone ready and waiting to help you at the click of a button.

2. TIME. In our hectic lives, ‘me time’ can be hard to come by. You might have a frantic schedule and work irregular hours. Or perhaps you’re a single parent or a carer who’s always racing against the clock. Online sessions fit comfortably around your schedule.

3. PRIVACY. For some, online therapy offers a comforting sense of privacy. Plus there are plenty of security measures in place to protect your privacy online.

4. HOME COMFORTS. Let’s face it: opening up and talking about how we’re really feeling can be tough, vulnerable and exposed. But, sometimes, it’s the little things that make it easier. Many folks feel more comfortable opening up online than in person. It may feel less daunting. Or perhaps you’d feel more at ease if you could snuggle up on your sofa with a cozy pair of bedroom slippers.

Intimacy Coaching is INTIMATE. It’s really important that we click. Before starting our first session, we will meet for a short introduction call (free of charge) and see if we suit and want to work together.

If I’m not able to support you, I will do my best to suggest other skilled practitioner who potentially can.

As professionals equipped with specialized tools and knowledge, sexologist can help us overcome difficulties and enhance sexual satisfaction.

Here’s what happens in a typical office or Zoom visit with a somatic sexologist:

1. The coach will listen to your experiences and feelings around the sexual issues you are having.

2. They will ask you questions about the history of the problem, and find out all the information they need to help you.

3. Depending on the specific approach they embrace as a coach (more on that below), they will talk with you about ways to address the problem. They might suggest videos or homework to watch. Practice tools in session could include breathwork, movement, self-touch, learning touch skills, and communication tools. And, always, they will help you move through shame and become more empowered around your sexual issues.

4. Lastly, your coach will talk you through how you can further implement these changes into your life.

While sex therapy can involve diving into childhood wounds with lingering effects on your adult life, somatic sexology focuses on actionable tools and exercises to help you overcome your erotic roadblocks.

Somatic sexologist often work in tandem with therapists, G.p’s, and other professionals.

The biggest issues couples face are around differences in beliefs and needs around money, sex, and child-rearing. While a Intimacy coach and a marriage coach have very similar approaches to these, couple’s therapy is quite different.

In couple’s therapy, you are limited to only talking through issues. Many therapists do not have any experiential tools to offer.

Intimacy coaching for couples, however – especially if it is somatically-based or experiential – offers tactile practices that help overcome challenging dynamics in a relationship. They can also help you to establish secure attachment, and provide tools for relationship repair during challenging times.

I believe that cost should not be a barrier to receiving support.

For this reason, a number of sessions are reserved each month for those in need of financial support.
