Pleasure is Healing; this is the ethos of my somatic coaching practice. I offer holistic full-body nourishing touch and massage, for all genders, in a safe, cocoon-like atmosphere where you can experience a full range of feelings: relaxation, comfort, healing, pleasure plus, and loving connection to yourself and your partner. Some people are single, or in low-touch relationships, and feel touch-deprived. I can meet this immediate need for touch. Loving touch is an important basic human need. Others face barriers to receiving tender loving touch due to dysfunctions or disabilities. I can help. Those affected by trauma may crave loving touch, but touch of any kind does not feel safe, comfortable or welcome. For these folks, my focus starts with tender talk and trust building, before moving slowly to touch; only when wanted and requested. Even for those in good, loving relationships, it is a gift to experience pleasurable touch as a form of self-care, personal wellness, and embodied growth. In my practice, I am trained to cater to all the above scenarios, and more. When touch is approached holistically, it becomes deeply therapeutic. It supports us emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. It helps us come home to our bodies and into deeper connection with others. It makes us feel healthy and happy when we receive touch that is nourishing to our body and soul. I bring many years of personal and professional experience as a caregiver, health care provider, and touch practitioner: a mother, nurse, and massage therapist. I understand the vital role that soothing, loving and respectful touch plays in our lives. I am a certified Somatic Educator (somatic means "of the body") and Reiki Master. My work weaves together bodywork, energy work, and embodied education—all focused on pleasure, healing, connection, and the sacredness of receiving. You are welcome to savour the experience of being nourished with touch that is comforting, relaxing, loving, connecting, healing and pleasurable. You will also learn how to ask for the kind of pleasurable touch you want, and how to offer that same quality of touch to loved ones in your life. To truly integrate these skills into your way of being, a commitment to six or more sessions is ideal. For now, let's begin with an introductory session.
