Simply put, somatic sex therapy is experiential, hands on and interactive. These experiences are necessary for an embodied awareness, learning, healing and powerful transformation. You cannot learn how to ride a bike by discussing it or reading about it! The same is true when it comes to working with sexuality! We work together experientially in a mindful way with a safe container. The transformation after just one session of somatic sex therapy can be the equivalent to a year or more of talk therapy! Talk therapy has its limitations and can only take you so far. Experiential guidance is absolutely vital when working with sexuality.

Absolutely. Every person’s experience of desire is unique, and part of somatic work is learning how to listen to your body’s authentic responses. I guide clients in discovering what feels good for them…free from outside expectations or cultural scripts. When people are in performance mode, people-pleasing, anxious, disconnected/disassociated/distracted, self deprecating, experiencing body shame or sexual shame etc.- pleasure can take a back seat! When we relax our nervous systems, slow down, get connected to our bodies and release ideas about how pleasure “should” look, we can tune into our deepest and most profound pleasure! Intimacy becomes more relaxed, playful, deeply satisfying and even mind blowing!

They do. Healthy communication isn’t a one-time conversation—it’s an ongoing dialogue before, during, and after intimacy. Tallulah helps partners slow down, notice sensations, and express needs or shifts in comfort without shame. This kind of real-time communication strengthens emotional connection, deepens trust, and keeps intimacy feeling alive rather than performative.

Yes. In my work, body neutrality and body positivity are central to sexual healing. Rather than striving for an ideal, I help clients reconnect with their real, living body—exactly as it is. Through mindful awareness, movement, and touch, clients learn to feel at home in their skin again. This shift from self-critique to self-connection naturally increases confidence, presence, and pleasure!

Being trauma-informed means recognizing that every body holds its own story. I have extensive training in supporting clients in healing and working through traumatic experiences, holding space for big feelings and overcoming patterns connected to their trauma. I will always move at your pace; never pushing for more than your system can comfortably handle. Safety, consent, and trust form the foundation of everything we do together. If strong emotions come up, we pause and come back to the present moment through sensory awareness, breathwork, movement, or guided self-soothing. I use ongoing consent and clear check-ins so you always feel empowered to guide the process during our sessions. As a trauma-informed therapist, I offer all of my clients tangible aftercare practices so they can integrate the work that we are doing together.

In Somatic Sex Therapy, touch (if and when requested and included) is always guided by clear consent and comfort. I use experiential touch to help clients reconnect with their bodies, explore boundaries, and experience sensation without pressure or performance. Each session begins with conversation and agreement about what feels safe. We might work with breath, movement, or mindful touch to increase awareness and presence in the body. Touch is used as an educational and therapeutic tool to support embodiment, healing, and self-trust.

Hakomi sessions include some physical contact or none at all. Educational and Coaching Sessions do not include physical contact. ​ We will always discuss physical contact and boundaries before beginning sessions. Every client is invited to participate at the level of their comfort without any pressure to go beyond that. If that level of comfort involves excluding touch altogether, then that will be honored and agreed upon between therapist and client. There can be nudity and sexual touching between couples who are being guided towards experiential hands-on learning and exercises. Sensual contact and touch with clothing on excluding genitals can be a part of my Somatica Method sessions. There will be no nudity or sexual touching directly from the Therapist to the Client outside of the context of a Sexological Bodywork Session.
