Ali Hēdonē

Somatic Sexologist & Holistic Sex Therapist

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.
