Michaela Tutty

Kia ora, I’m Michaela (BA Psych).
Certified Somatic Sex Coach & Sexologist | Founder of Desire Pathways

I help individuals and couples move out of their heads and back into their bodies to experience deeper presence, confidence, and connection. If intimacy currently feels stressful, routine, or disconnected, I provide a clear, supportive space to help you bridge the gap between mind and body.

How I work:
Though I love geeking out on the sex education side of my work, changing patterns and creating new habits needs action. We use the 5 somatic tools - breath, movement, awareness, sound and touch - in session and in take-home practices that we create together to integrate what you learn into your daily life.

What to expect in sessions:
All sessions are conducted 100% online via Zoom, fully clothed, and hands-off. There is no nudity or practitioner touch involved in our time together.

In sessions, we combine education and practical skill learning focused on:
✿ How to regulate your nervous system
✿ How to connect to your body
✿ How to create safety
✿ How to tune into arousal
✿ How to access pleasure
✿ How to know what you want, and ask for it
+ more

If we are expanding on the skill of self-touch, this will be given as homework for you to try at home in between sessions, with the option to report back your findings in the next session so we can fine-tune practices to best suit you.

Ready to start? The first step is a 30-minute Foundation Session to map out your goals, explore where you are, and ensure sex coaching is the right path for you.
