What Is Sex Coaching? (And Why You Might Want to Do It)

Let’s be honest: most of us never had a healthy, affirming space to learn about sex, desire, boundaries, or emotional connection.

We might have absorbed shame, silence, confusion—or been taught to ignore our bodies, suppress our needs, or perform for others.

And yet… we all want to feel connected. Desired. Seen. Safe. Free.

That’s where sex coaching comes in.

So, What Is Sex Coaching?

Sex coaching helps individuals and couples explore their sexuality, emotional intimacy, and relational patterns—while building the embodied skills to experience more connection, confidence, and pleasure.

It’s not therapy and it’s not medical, although it can work well in partnership with those practices.

It’s about helping you feel more alive in your body, more grounded in your truth, and more empowered in how you love and connect—with yourself and others.

Clients come to sex coaching for all kinds of reasons:

  • “I feel disconnected from my body”

  • “We’re not having sex anymore”

  • “I don’t know how to ask for what I want”

  • “I carry shame around desire or touch”

  • “I want to feel safe being vulnerable with a partner”

  • “I’ve never really known what turns me on

Sometimes it’s about reigniting passion.

Sometimes it’s about healing.

Sometimes it’s about learning who you are—without judgment or pressure.

How Is Sex Coaching Different from Therapy or Sex Therapy?

While there’s overlap, sex coaching (especially in the Somatica® Method, which I’m trained in) works differently from traditional therapy.

Here’s how:

1. It’s Experiential and Body-Based

We don’t just talk about change—we practice it. That might mean breathwork, emotional attunement, exploring boundaries, or safely receiving affirming, non-sexual touch. It all happens with full consent and at your pace.

This helps shift things not just in your mind, but in your nervous system—so you feel the change, not just understand it intellectually.

2. It’s Skill-Building, Not Problem-Fixing

You don’t need to be “broken” to benefit from sex coaching. This work helps you build tools:

  • Communicating your needs clearly

  • Exploring desire without shame

  • Navigating emotional triggers with more resilience

  • Feeling safer and more present in intimacy

Like learning a language, connection and intimacy are skills—and you can learn them.

3. It’s Rooted in Consent, Curiosity, and Celebration

Whether you’re single, partnered, monogamous, kinky, queer, spiritual, or simply curious—your whole self is welcome here. We move at your pace, with reverence and respect.


Why Might Someone Work With a Sex Coach?

You might be craving something you can’t quite name—more spark, more truth, more safety, more joy in your relationships or in your body.

You might be:

  • Recovering from a past that taught you to shut down or perform

  • In a long-term relationship where intimacy has faded

  • Exploring a new identity or relational style

  • Wanting to feel more confident, expressive, or emotionally available

  • Longing to feel truly seen, wanted, and understood

Or maybe you’re just tired of going through the motions—and ready to feel more.

Is Sex Coaching Right for Me?

If you’re:

  • Curious about yourself

  • Excited to try something new and experiential

  • Longing for deeper connection and authenticity

…then sex coaching might be a beautiful next step.

It’s not about achieving some “ideal” sex life—it’s about discovering what’s real and right for you.
