Hey, I’m Alissa
My path to this work didn't begin in a classroom. It began in my own body; in the slow unravelling of patterns I'd carried for years, and the gradual recognition that unresolved trauma had kept me from my own pleasure, my own desire, my own aliveness.
In 2022, a complex pelvic diagnosis became an unexpected doorway. What began as a medical journey deepened into something far more personal — a reckoning with how I related to my body, my desire, and my capacity for pleasure.

How I work & What to Expect
My work has led me through an ongoing exploration of eroticism, embodiment, and sexuality, territory that has been as confronting as it has been expansive. That path first brought me to the Institute of Somatic Sexology, where I trained under its founders, Deej and Uma. Today I'm deepening that foundation at The Sexual Integration Institute, where I'm learning from its founders, Dr Isabela Bottura and Bonnie Bliss, as I complete my certification as an Integrative Sex Coach & Educator.
I became a somatic sex coach because I believe this exploration deserves a guide who has walked this path themselves — someone who knows the terrain not just intellectually, but in their body.
Your curiosity about sex, eroticism, and pleasure matters.
Somatic Sexology
My work draws on Integrative Sex Coaching, a somatic, trauma-informed approach that weaves together Somatic Sexology, nervous system regulation, and embodied practice. Together, these create a framework for reconnecting with your body, gently unravelling the conditioning and beliefs that have limited your sexual and emotional growth, and expanding your capacity for pleasure, presence, and authentic connection.
I work primarily with women who feel disconnected, numb, or performative in their sexuality, and who are ready to find their way back to safety, aliveness, and themselves. Our sessions are collaborative and move at a pace that is always attuned to where you are.
