Somatic Intimacy:
A ritual of tender pleasure
witnessing wild, unleashed intimacy within you.
a Somatic Intimacy bodycare session is a ritual of sensual touch, soft worship, and deep surrender that delivers discovery of the depths of pleasure.
It is:
-
a body prayer delivered by touch
-
somatic witness
-
rooted in safety + security (connection)
-
trauma-informed
-
a practice of consent
-
gentle, affectionate, and affirming
-
whatever you might need it to be...
Tenet 1: Benevolence of the Body
The body has ecstatic, compassionate wisdom strumming through it at all times.
We’re going to tap into that gooey wisdom and play in it.
We will dance in a corporeal poem of obscure bliss and embrace visceral poetry.
I use elemental magick, energy alchemy, and the natural laws of the senses to hold experiential space for you to play with yourself in. Together, we will co-create a space where you can surrender to the sweet nectar of your sensual juice.
Tenet 2: Pleasure is Medicine
Somatic Intimacy harnesses pleasure as powerful, sovereign medicine (or tincture, or tea) that is self sustaining and wildly connective to experience.
Think gentle affirming intensity and goosebumps arising from caresses timed at a near-scientific pace. We are going to activate special sensory responses to harness pleasure and expand in the depths of our gooeyness. We take big advantage of c-tactile afferents here.
It is bodywork that safely and softly incorporates affirming, sensual vibes that help connect to gentle pleasure for the purposes of personal growth, deepening spiritual connection, and/or experiencing a wholesomely tender way to enjoy your body and all its plasticity.
It's the art of slowing down to speed up / the art of speeding up by slowing down.
Tenet 3: Touch as Witness
Touch is how we know we are alive - it sleeps with all of our senses.
We cannot touch anything without being touched back. I listen with my hands (and my body) and use the natural law of mutual touch to offer witness.
Experiential touch discovery is a mutual cultivation of witnessing your pleasure, truth, and sovereignty.
I bring with me a deep passion for phenomenology and interest in philosophical exploration of experience. This coupled with research from neurosciences and somatic arts greatly informs this work.

It is said to have an entire micro-galaxy within it. In our bodies, we experience life. It is our portal to reality and the obscure. As we await an inevitable death, we heal. As we experience pleasure and pain simultaneously, we ebb and flow with the elements and seasons of life. We sleep, we dream. We suffer and surrender. We fall and rise in love and fear. Here we are, we are here. Together, we share this planet as mother. We pray to higher powers as we watch the clock. And follow time into its unfolding.We join in power, strength, and vitality. With our vulnerability, we grow into compassion. We share space and isolate ourselves. We listen to the call of the wild. We are human. Flawed, strange, and beautiful -...All at once in the brilliance of difference and sameness. May all of our truths be held in the space of our bodies. And be honored as God herself. May you find what you never looked for. And float in the everlasting well of love and ecstasy within you.
