Notice what your body feels
For many people sex and intimacy can be challenging. This may lead you to shut down, or turn away from, the natural instincts of your body because it doesn't feel safe. Mindful sex coaching offers practices and tools to become more fully aware of what you really feel, and an environment in which to engage with this more safely.
Trust what your body wants
Once you understand what you feel, it becomes easier to know what you truly want – or don’t want. But it’s not always easy to trust your desires. Mindful sex coaching offers body-based practices to open the door to deeper engagement with what feels good to you, exploring your pleasure in the ways that only you know how.
Communicate what your body enjoys
When you’re able to notice and trust what feels good to you, the key to creating fulfilling relationships is about finding ways to express your desires. Mindful sex coaching offers a learning environment for you to develop and practice new ways of communicating your needs and getting them met.

I also offer non-erotic coaching for help navigating interactions and relationships with family, friends, partners, even work colleagues.
How might you benefit from our work together?
When it comes to pleasure and intimacy your body actually already has all the knowledge it needs - I simply help you to access it.
Using body-based principles I work collaboratively with you, giving you tools to help you (re)connect with yourself, and others.
I offer a space in which you can be held as safely as possible, and fully seen and heard, without judgement.
I work mainly with people who identify as male, but I absolutely welcome enquiries from anyone who feels drawn to work with me.
I use the words ‘gay’ and ‘man’ on this site because they’re common terms many people use when looking for support around intimacy, touch, or sex. But I also know all those words can mean very different things for different people.
So however you describe yourself, you are welcome here – and I hope I may be able to support you.
For individuals
From self-pleasure practice, to interactive erotic learning, whether online or in person, all one-to-one sessions with me are led by your body and your needs
For couples
I can work with you online or in person, to help you open up new ways of creating mutually satisfying interactions - both with and without touch
Touch-based learning
Learning tends to happen best when you can experience something as well as talk about it. I offer a range of hands-on learning opportunities so you can choose what works best for you.
