Steph

I am a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Sex Educator, Qualified Shiatsu therapist and trained in Co Counselling and Listening Skills.

Beginning my embodied journey in 1997, I undertook a three year training with the Bristol School of Shiatsu. At the time I had been experiencing a lot of panic and free floating anxiety in my life as a result of early trauma from my childhood. Engaging in a three year touch therapy course was the perfect antidote to my early life where I often longed for physical affection that I did not receive.

This was just the beginning of my journey and 25 years later after becoming a Mum and going through an early menopause I read the book ‘Pussy, a reclamation’ by Regena Thomashauer which awakened my sexuality in a whole new way. As a result of this I discovered the Sexological Bodywork training and decided to dive right in.

I love holding a safe, trauma informed environment for people to go deep and unravel anything that no longer serves them so that they can be free to live lives that are happy and fully self expressed and where pleasure and eros are an every day occurrence.

Sexological Bodywork holds so many different possibilities for ways of working.

*Learning to ask for what you truly want or learning to say no with ease

*Wanting to be more in your body instead of your head and accessing more of your sensory world

*Ejaculatory choice whether you ejaculate too quickly or not at all.

*Opening up to more pleasure in your body

*Experiencing different kinds of orgasm

*Working through your fears around intimacy

*Working though experiences of painful sex

*Learning about how different parts of your genitalia feel through mapping

*Working through body shame or dislike of body parts and developing a healthy loving relationship with your body.

*Learning new ways to self pleasure

*Working on your attachment to porn with embodied practices.

And much more!
