Somatic Coaching
More than traditional psychotherapy
Therapy is an amazing thing! But most therapists, even professionals who specialize in working with couples, have little or NO training in sexuality.
When it comes to your erotic well-being, talking only gets you so far.
Enjoying your hottest sex life and creating emotional harmony at home may involve walking down very different paths. It’s important to work with someone trained – someone compassionate – someone who can help you realize your goals with understanding and without judgment.
Develop natural sexual confidence
Developed by Celeste Hirshman and Danielle Harel, the Somatica® Method of Sex and Relationship Coaching is one of the most profoundly effective and transformative ways of working with people.
The Somatica® Method combines talk-based coaching, sex education, experiential learning, and the kind of embodied process work that transcends the bounds of traditional psychotherapy.
We may use touch training, brainstorming, snuggling, role-play, and rehearsal to develop a customized set of relationship tools.
What makes the Somatica® Method so special is that it’s experiential. This is authentic intimacy, rather than analysis, so you can relax into being really cared for. The Somatica Method can be incredibly efficient because it gets to the truth quickly, simulating the pressure of a real life situation, but with far more gentleness, awareness, and opportunity to learn.
This intimacy is CONSCIOUS. We’ll learn from it and gently expand its capacities.
Together, we will build a relationship laboratory.
Here’s what will happen: In the container of our sessions, we get perspective on how we relate to one another. When we are together, I’m tracking my own reactions to our developing intimacy and sharing them with you gently and constructively on behalf of your growth, and mine.
Here’s what won’t happen: We won’t have sex or even take our clothes off.
The goal is: To bring our authentic feelings to one another, discussing them in real time, slowly, with both realness and kindness, so that even the newest information or most challenging experience can be digested and integrated.
We’ll discover and celebrate your relational strengths and figure out what needs further development.
We’ll practice the tools that will allow you to create deeper emotional connection and a more sensually and sexually fulfilled life.
Experience is the best teacher.
We hear about embodiment just about everywhere these days, and for good reason. Learning something through practice is very different from merely reading or talking about it.
And when you actually get to feel the experience of vulnerability, safety, arousal, loving connection, freedom from shame, and more, it is much more likely that you will be able to bring more confidence into your intimate life.
It’s all about what works for you.
There is no ideal expression of relationship. Nor is there a “healthy” or “best” form of sexual expression. There is only what honestly works for you and the people you love.
The Somatica® Method is designed to help you and your partner find authenticity in your intimate expression, discover your unique erotic blueprint, and effectively communicate that with each other.
We’ll expand the menu of what is available in the infinite realm of human intimacy and help you find what activates your primal energies and integrate that into your life.
Therapy isn’t always the right choice.
While traditional therapists can be great for learning how to deepen emotional closeness, unless emotional distance is the cause for sexual issues, your erotic life may not improve.
Sometimes, what soothes relationship insecurities smothers the sex drive. And what makes some genitals throb could destroy trust if not skillfully held in a sex positive context.
Subtle biases can filter into the work, limiting the vast array of options you have as an adult.
The Somatica® Method is a powerful way to address low or mismatched desire or a sexless marriage.
It will allow you explore diverse flavors of erotic expression like romance, passion, dominance, and submission.
It can also help you deal with issues of sexual preference, gender identity, and alternative love styles.
Trust the method and the mentors
As a practitioner trained in the Somatica® Method of Sex and Relationship Coaching, I receive regular professional supervision as well as a continual deepening of my own erotic education and healing.
In addition to my 25+ years of experience, I am continually in professional supervision (and personal development work) with the founders of the Somatica Institute.
When we work together, you’ll get the benefit not just of my experience, but the support of an exceptionally gifted group of trainers who have collectively helped hundreds of people have better sex and more love in their lives.
