I offer heart-centered and trauma-informed bodywork, education and facilitation for those who wish to nurture intimate connection with themselves.
Hello, I’m Brigid.
I’m standing here at a threshold, inviting you onto a courageous path where tending to the sacred aspects of self leads to powerful reclamation.
As an educator and facilitator, I welcome you into a sacred space dedicated to learning, healing and self-discovery.
My practice, grounded in six years of experience in sexological work, enriched by the last 3.5 years of ongoing study at the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education, offers a unique combination of professional knowledge and empathetic understanding. Under supervision of trusted mentors and my community of peers, I hold my practice as a practitioner in training, continuously evolving and honing my skills.
Somatic sex education is a journey beyond traditional learning; it's an immersive experience that guides you through various facets of self-discovery and healing. Folks seek out this work for various reasons, including:
- Healing Trauma: Many individuals have experienced sexual trauma or negative conditioning, and they turn to somatic sex education as a means of healing and reclaiming their bodies.
- Enhancing Pleasure: Some seek to expand their capacity for pleasure, discovering new realms of sensuality and deepening their connection to their own desires.
- Reconnecting with Their Bodies: In a world where we can often feel disembodied, this work helps people reconnect with their physical selves, fostering a sense of presence and self-awareness.
- Overcoming Shame: Shame around sexuality is pervasive, and somatic sex education provides a space to confront and move beyond this deeply ingrained emotion.
- Exploring Identity: It's a means for exploring and understanding one's own sexual identity, whether through questions of gender, orientation, or other aspects of the self.
- Improving Relationships: Learning about one's own desires and boundaries can lead to healthier, more fulfilling connections with self and partners.
- Empowerment: This work empowers individuals by teaching them to communicate their desires clearly, understand their bodies, and make choices from a place of self-awareness.
- Sensory Exploration: It provides a platform for exploring and expanding one's sensory experiences, gaining a deeper understanding of the body's responses to different stimuli.
- Claiming Pleasure as a Birthright: Somatic sex education challenges societal norms that often stigmatize pleasure, encouraging individuals to embrace pleasure as a natural and essential part of being human.
- Spiritual Growth: For some, this journey is a deeply spiritual one, allowing them to explore the connection between sensuality and spirituality, and to delve into the sacredness of their bodies.
Somatic sex education is not just about sexual knowledge; it's a holistic journey that encompasses emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. Through this process, you are invited to rediscover the joy and sacredness of your sexual self.
Each session is a journey of its own, respecting your individual needs and goals. Whether you're exploring this path as an individual or a couple, our work together is always:
Non-Judgmental: A space where all feelings and experiences are valid and met with empathy.
Experiential: Focused on hands-on learning and personal exploration, from mindful touch to guided visualizations.
Empowering: Aimed at enhancing your understanding and connection with your sexuality and self.
