“I’d highly recommend Alissa to anyone looking for a somatic sex coach. I also really appreciated the educational videos, follow-up notes after each session, and the different exercises to practice on my own and with my partner. She even recommended books and tools that have been incredibly helpful.”

Nervous System Education & Stress Management
Through education and embodiment tools, you’ll build skills to regulate your nervous system, handle stress, and feel more grounded in your body—inside and outside the bedroom.
Embodied Consent
Discover what “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” truly feel like in your body. Through education and practices, you’ll deepen your ability to communicate desires, boundaries, and needs with clarity and confidence.
Foundational Somatic Pleasure Practices
Begin with the basics of embodiment. Practices like Waking Up the Hands and Absorbing Touch teach your body to receive, notice, and expand sensation—building your capacity for pleasure and aliveness in your body.
Genital Education & Somatic Practice
Learn about your pleasure anatomy through education and embodied practice. Explore tools like vulva breathing, the vulva hug, and guided mapping to deepen connection with your genitals and expand your capacity for pleasure.
Exploring Your Core Erotic Theme & Erotic Landscape
Uncover the deeper themes that shape your arousal and desire. Through Core Erotic Theme exploration, erotic mind mapping, and understanding your turn-ons and turn-offs, you’ll gain insight into what truly awakens your erotic energy.
Unpacking Beliefs Around Sex & Pleasure
Bring awareness to the stories you’ve absorbed about sex and pleasure. Together we’ll explore cultural, familial, and personal conditioning that may have shaped your relationship with your erotic self—creating space for new, more supportive narratives.
Pelvic Awareness & Somatic Practice
Through touch, breath, and movement, you’ll reconnect with your pelvis, release held tension, and awaken deeper awareness and sensitivity in this part of your body.
Unpacking Shame
The first step in transforming shame is awareness—bringing what’s been hidden into the open with compassion. In this space, we explore the roots of shame around sexuality, self-pleasure, relationships, and culture, helping you meet yourself with understanding.
Expanding Your Relationship to Pleasure
Explore pleasure as a whole-body (and whole-life) experience. Through guided pleasure mapping and sensory exploration, you’ll create new neural pathways to pleasure and discover new erogenous zones and ways of feeling alive.
Embodied Parts Work
Explore the inner landscape of your parts and patterns through the body. These practices help you bring awareness to the emotions that live beneath your stories—supporting deeper healing and integration from the inside out.
The Unknown
There’s space for what wants to emerge. This honors the organic unfolding of your journey—what may not yet have words but begins to reveal itself through our sessions together.
What is Somatic Sex Coaching?
Somatic Sex Coaching is a body-centered approach that helps you become more aware of your body and sensations. This awareness can deepen your connection to pleasure, enhance your sexual experiences, and support a fuller understanding of yourself as a sexual and erotic being.
In essence, I guide you in bringing your awareness into your body, so you can experience more embodiment (the experience of being in your body)—in and out of the bedroom.

-
Somatic sex coaching is a body-centered approach that helps you deepen your connection to your body, your pleasure, and your desires. It focuses on present-moment awareness and practical skills rather than only talking about the past. It can feel supportive and healing, but it is coaching rather than trauma therapy.
-
Sessions blend dialogue, education, and gentle somatic practices that help you build awareness of sensation, nervous system patterns, and pleasure pathways. Everything moves at a pace that feels safe and empowering for your body.
-
In sessions, all practices are fully clothed and non sexual. We work with breath, awareness, nervous system regulation, and gentle embodiment exercises that help you build connection with your body.
Any sexual pleasure based practices are offered as optional homeplay for you to explore privately, at your own pace.
-
I am not a trauma therapist, though I am trauma informed. This work can support you in building a greater sense of steadiness in your body, learning practical skills, and taking gentle steps forward at a pace that feels right for you.
This work is not recommended as the only avenue for healing sexual trauma that has not yet been addressed, and may be most supportive alongside therapeutic care.
-
Some people begin with a single session to get a feel for the work. Many choose a 6 session package to build momentum and support deeper change over time. Meaningful shifts happen through consistency, and working together across multiple sessions tends to be the most supportive way to create lasting change.
-
Everything you share in our sessions is kept confidential and held with care.
As a coach, I follow clear professional boundaries around discretion and consent. Your personal stories, experiences, and questions are never shared with others without your explicit permission.
This is a space where you can speak openly about your body, your experiences, and your sexuality without fear of judgment or exposure.
