I work with people who did not receive the sex education or relational guidance they needed, and who now find themselves navigating sex and intimacy with uncertainty and discomfort. Many come to somatic sex coaching feeling disconnected from their bodies, detached from their partner and unsure how to communicate desires and boundaries.

My practice is grounded in somatic sexology and body-based modalities, informed by professional training and lived experience. I have seen how reconnecting with the body transforms the way we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us.

Before moving into private practice, I spent a decade in community advocacy and legal environments supporting individuals and communities to find their voice, navigate complex systems and create meaningful change. That worked revealed both the resilience people carry and the subtle ways responsibility, expectation and habit can disconnect us from the body. It showed me how without embodiment, long-term change making comes at a deeply personal cost.

These insights shape how I practice today. Whether through online Somatic Sexology or in-person Bodywork in Melbourne. I support a space for individuals and couples to explore, feel and listen, fostering an embodied approach to sexuality, relationships and life.
