Somatic sex education is an approach to sex education that focuses on the body's sensations and experiences, and how they can be used to know the body, enhance pleasure, deepen intimacy, and promote healing from trauma. This type of education emphasizes the connection between the mind and body, and encourages individuals to explore their physical sensations in a non-judgmental and intentional way.
It typically involves one-on-one sessions, where the focus is on experiential learning and exploration. The sessions may include a variety of activities, such as body awareness exercises, guided visualizations, touch and movement practices, breathwork, and erotic exploration.
The goal of somatic sex education is to help individuals develop a deeper connection with their bodies and their sexuality, and to learn how to navigate and communicate their desires and boundaries. The emphasis is on learning through experience and embodiment, rather than just intellectual understanding.
Somatic sex education may be particularly helpful for individuals who have experienced trauma or shame around their sexuality, or who struggle with issues like low desire, pain during sex, or difficulty achieving orgasm. It can also be a useful tool for couples looking to deepen their connection and communication around sex.
Our sessions are crafted to ensure a nourishing and fulfilling experience, with a carefully structured layout for your growth and pleasure. Here's an overview of what you can expect in each session:
1. Check-In: Every session begins with a heartfelt check-in, allowing you to arrive fully in the present moment. This check-in offers a space for you to express your intentions, desires, and any feelings or sensations that may be arising within you. It's a moment to connect with yourself and set the tone for the session.
2. Somatic Work: The heart of our sessions are in the somatic work, a personalized exploration tailored to your goals and intentions. These exercises can range from mindful erotic practices to sensory dialogues, depending on your unique needs. Below are some examples of what common session types look like.
3. Savouring and Closing: As the session draws to a close, I’ll invite you to savor the sensations and insights you've cultivated during our time together. This reflective practice allows you to fully take-in your experience and gently transition back to your everyday life.

Whether it's channeling orgasmic energy towards personal goals, utilizing your erotic energy for healing and transformation, or exploring other facets of your sensuality, this is a space where the sacredness of your eros can be harnessed for growth, healing, and empowerment, opening new doors to self-discovery and spiritual exploration.

“When I first met Brigid I knew we had lots of work to do together - she just has that kind of presence.
She holds a very safe container and you feel incredibly supported to do the work.
I’ve gone places I’ve never been able to reach in the past. She has taught me so much or as she would say:
I taught myself and she is only there to witness.”
”This woman is a special soul. She teaches through love and it works.“
“Brigid is invested in your success. She instills strength and confidence in you so you’re able to break through on your own.
If you meet an edge, your no is just as welcomed as your yes. It’s always about you, and where you are in your journey.
Brigid will celebrate all of you.”
“Brigid is a very special woman.
She creates a safe space in which one can be fully present and vulnerable without judgement or fear.
She also has very strong intuition and is an excellent guide for navigating emotional blockages and trauma.”
“Brigid was able to be a mirror to my soul in a powerful way, as well as helping to reconcile with past hurts and open me up to experiencing touch without shame so that I can embrace a purity of pleasure that was deeply moving.
I have no hesitation recommending her.”
