Ali is a certified Somatic Sexologist, Holistic Sex Therapist and Trauma-informed womb Massage Therapist. Originally from France, she has been based in Sydney, Australia, since 2019. She first met Alice, founder of Bedrock, while training together in Somatic Sexology, where they quickly bonded over a shared love for all things body and sexuality, and a mutual dedication to trauma-informed, client-led care.
Ali is also deeply connected to mindfulness practice, which she has explored through her study in tantric sexuality, somatic movement, womb massage, and holistic sexual wellness. She works holistically, considering body, mind, emotions, and nervous system as one interconnected whole, blending modern teaching with ancient lineage to bring embodied depth to her sessions.
Through conversational inquiry, sex education, somatic awareness practices, mindfulness, and pattern recognition, Ali helps clients explore how their physiology and psychology shape their relationship to their sexuality today. She guides them to expand their erotic intelligence, rebuild confidence in their body, and deepen their natural capacity for intimacy and authentic connection.
Ali came to this work through her own searching, after years of feeling completely disconnected from her body and her pleasure, until she found the practices and teachings that brought her back to herself. It gives her a deep compassion for what clients bring into the room, and a personal understanding of how transformative this work can be when held with care.

SEXUAL EXPLORATION
Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)
Start by booking a free 15-minute consultation. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, share your goals and ensure you’re matched with the right practitioner.
You can also book an introductory 90-minute couples session to experience the work before committing to a full program. After your first session and intake form, we’ll provide a proposed couples program tailored to your needs — completely free of charge and with no obligation to continue.
This process allows you to explore your options confidently and at your own pace.
Couples sex therapy is for any committed couple who wants to strengthen their connection, enhance intimacy or build new skills in the bedroom.
Whether you’ve been together for a few months or 50 years, every relationship can benefit from deeper communication and sex education. Programs are personalised to your experience level, desires and goals.
We provide an inclusive, judgement-free space for people of all genders, sexualities and identities. LGBTQIA+ couples, polyamorous relationships and ethically non-monogamous partnerships are all warmly welcomed.
Couples sex therapy provides an expert-led, shame-free environment to help you build more connected, communicative and joyful intimacy.
We combine mindfulness, education and counselling techniques to support both emotional and sexual closeness. Sessions include practical tools, guided exercises and shared language to help you reach your goals.
Every session is client-led and tailored specifically to your relationship. There are no “cookie-cutter” programs because there are no “cookie-cutter” relationships. Each practitioner brings their own unique training and specialties, ensuring a personalised experience.
The benefits depend on your goals, but couples often experience:
Healthier, happier sex lives are also associated with improved mental health, better sleep and enhanced overall wellbeing.
Absolutely not.
Couples therapy isn’t only for repairing problems — it’s also for growth. Even couples who feel satisfied in their relationship can benefit from expert support and deeper exploration.
A sex-positive, judgement-free space encourages curiosity, learning and new discoveries. Great relationships can always expand and evolve.

For most couples, we recommend an 8-session bespoke program. This allows time to build trust, develop new skills and create sustainable change. Programs include tailored worksheets, games and at-home resources to reinforce your progress.
You can always try one session first before committing. Our aim is to equip you with lifelong tools — not to keep you in therapy indefinitely.
It depends on your goals.
Individual sessions allow you to focus on your own experiences, desires and personal growth. Couples sessions focus on shared communication, intimacy and connection.
Couples programs include both joint sessions and one individual session per partner, offering a balanced approach. If you’re unsure, book a free call and we’ll help determine what suits you best.
This is very common.
Try framing the conversation around curiosity, growth and potential benefits rather than focusing on what feels “wrong.” Sharing the website can also give your partner time to explore privately.
You’re welcome to book a free consultation — together or solo — to discuss how to approach the conversation. You might also consider starting with our online course, Pillow Play, which offers playful and educational intimacy games as a gentle entry point.
You can book your introductory call, a one-off session or enrol in a full program via our booking page.

We prioritise safety, comfort and pacing sessions according to what feels right for you both. You can begin with a free consultation or try a one-off session before committing to a program.
If you prefer a lighter starting point, our online course Pillow Play offers fun, structured intimacy games designed to build confidence and connection at home.
