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.

Daniela Cristofaro (she/her) is a Somatic Psychotherapist, Sexologist and Trauma Therapist. She holds a Master of Counselling, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology, a Certificate in Sexological Bodywork, and is trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and Somatic Sexology.
Daniela’s work is grounded in the understanding that many emotional struggles, relationship patterns and ways of coping are adaptations to our life experiences. Through mindful, body-centred psychotherapy, she helps clients gently explore the deeper beliefs and embodied patterns shaping their reactions, relationships and sense of self. Rather than viewing protective responses as something wrong, Daniela approaches them with curiosity and compassion. She supports clients to develop greater safety, regulation, self-understanding and choice, creating opportunities for difficult experiences to be processed and integrated and for new ways of being to emerge.
Daniela works with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, sexuality-related challenges, complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, nervous-system dysregulation, PTSD, body-image concerns, shame and emotional overwhelm. Her approach is particularly suited to people who feel stuck, disconnected or ready for a more embodied way of working. She also supports people to explore desire, shutdown, boundaries, relational dynamics and the ways trauma, attachment and past experiences can shape intimacy and access to pleasure.
Known for her warm, grounded and deeply present approach, Daniela’s work is culturally sensitive, neuro-affirming, gender-inclusive and sex-positive. She offers a therapeutic space where clients can slow down, reconnect and discover new ways of relating to their inner world, their bodies and the people around them.

You can also book an introductory 90-minute session. This gives you the chance to try a session before committing to a full program.
After your first session and intake form, we’ll send you a proposed program or mini-program outline free of charge. There’s no obligation to continue if you change your mind.
Sex therapy and somatic sex counselling provide an expert-led, judgement-free space to explore sex, relationships and pleasure.
We combine mindfulness, education and counselling techniques to help you move out of your head and into your body. Sessions include practical tools, exercises and language to support your goals — whatever they may be.
All sessions are 100% client-led and tailored to your specific desires and outcomes. There are no cookie-cutter programs. Every practitioner brings their own training, specialties and approach. Book a free call to find the right fit for you.
The benefits of sex education, sex counselling and couples sex therapy are diverse and can include:
Absolutely not.
Sex therapy isn’t just for challenges or concerns. Even people who already enjoy a fulfilling sex life can benefit. When it comes to pleasure and intimacy, there is always more to discover.
An expert-led, shame-free and sex-positive environment can open the door to deeper connection, curiosity and growth. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to explore.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation. This gives you the opportunity to meet a practitioner and discuss your goals.
While a 90-minute session can be valuable, meaningful and lasting change usually takes time. Sex, bodies and relationships are complex — and like any area of health, consistent support creates better results.
Most individuals and couples benefit from our bespoke 8-part program, which includes tailored worksheets, games and at-home resources. We also offer 4-part mini-programs for shorter-term goals. You can always try one session before committing.
Our aim is not to work with you forever — it’s to equip you with lifelong skills for great sex and intimacy.
Fees vary depending on the service and practitioner.
Please refer to our “Meet the Team” page for a full list of consultation fees.
Everyone’s journey is different. While some people begin with a one-off session, most find that deeper change requires ongoing support.
We generally recommend an 8-part bespoke program for individuals and couples. These programs allow space for trust, learning and meaningful progress, and include personalised resources to support you at home.
Mini 4-part programs are available for more focused goals. You can always try one session first before committing.
It depends on your goals.
Individual sessions allow you to focus on your own needs, desires and experiences. Many people bring what they learn into their relationships.
Couples sessions are ideal for strengthening connection, communication and sexual exploration together. Couples programs may include both joint and individual sessions.
If you’re unsure, book a free call and we’ll help you decide the best approach.
It’s common to feel nervous bringing this up.
Try focusing on the potential benefits or what you’re curious about, rather than what feels “wrong.” You might also share our website so they can explore it in their own time.
If you’d like support, book a free 15-minute consultation — either together or on your own — to talk it through.
You can book a one-off session or a program via our booking page.
We typically recommend sessions every 2–3 weeks, depending on your goals and schedule.
Programs can be completed at your own pace, with up to six months to finish all sessions.
No.
All sessions are educational and take place fully clothed. Practitioners do not touch clients.
Absolutely — although we call it homeplay.
Homeplay includes exercises, games and exploration practices to try at home, solo or with a partner. The more open and curious you are, the more benefit you’ll experience. You’ll also receive sex-positive resources tailored to your needs.
That’s completely normal.
Talking about sex can feel vulnerable. We move at your pace and prioritise creating a safe, supportive space. You can start with a free 15-minute consultation or try a one-off session before committing to a full program.
