Sexual wellness is for everyone.
We provide a safe, inclusive, trauma-informed and judgement-free space for people of all ages, genders, sexualities, relationship structures and identities.
Our practitioners are LGBTQIA+ inclusive and welcome individuals and couples across all stages of life.
A Sexologist is somebody who has studied the science of sex; learning the anatomy, physiology, psychology, and cultural influences around sex, arousal, desire and pleasure.
Somatics is any practice that develops and strengthens the mind-body connection. Somatic practices teach you how to mindfully scan and listen to your body.
Somatic sexology brings these together to help people get out of their heads and into their bodies for better sex. Meet the team here to see a full list of their qualifications and experience.
Sexual wellness isn’t the only thing we do, but it’s an important part of the equation. This is because it’s so regularly left out of the health and wellness conversation.
Sadly, we still live in a conservative society where sexual shame and body shame is pervasive and very few people get access to quality sex education or sexual wellness services.
This leads to a society with high rates of loneliness, sexual dissatisfaction, disembodiment, divorce, sexual violence, trauma, and sexual abuse.
Quality sexual wellness and sex & relationship education makes happier, healthier and safer people – this is one way we can help make the world a better place.
