Hello. I am a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Sex Educator, Qualified Shiatsu therapist, trained in co-counseling and Listening Skills and Relationship Polarity.
I began my journey to embodiment in 1997 at the age of 24 when 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 towards embodiment and 25 years later after becoming a Mum and working with several different modalities including body-based psychotherapy and co-counseling 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 present throughout their everyday life.
Since completing the sexological bodywork course I have since dived deep into a lifelong relationship polarity training which now forms the basis for how I work.
I’ve realised that since embarking on this work that many couples are not experiencing sexual fulfillment in their relationships and I’ve learnt through the polarity training that a big reason for this is that their relationships are depolarised. I feel excitement and passion about supporting individuals and couples to move towards a more polarised relationship which can result in a much more fulfilling sex life together as well as fulfilment on all other levels.
Please let me know if you’d like to learn more about polarity and I can share some resources with you or if you’d like to bring it into our sessions together.

‘I have known Steph for well over a year. When I went to Steph for my first session I was nervous and didn't know what to expect however Steph's very friendly, open-minded and non-judgemental attitude soon put me at ease.
Steph works in a professional manner and is a delight to be with. As well as the sessions themselves I really enjoy and value discussions with Steph before and after sessions. When I talk to Steph it helps me to realise my own wants and needs and to be able talk openly and honestly about them with her without feeling embarrassed or ashamed.
Steph is very intuitive and never in a hurry. During sessions she regularly checks in with you and considers thoughts and feelings and also asks what the body might be asking for in that moment.
As well as being incredibly sensual and intimate I have also found the sessions to be very comforting and even emotional at times. I would even go as far as saying that overall sessions with Steph have been beneficial for my emotional, mental and physical well-being.
Sessions with Steph have made me realise how powerful touch is and how much the body is crying out for touch in our day-to-day lives.
Steph is a wonderful human being who gives me a deeper, more intimate and enjoyable understanding of myself as a sexual being.’
