This course prepares you to offer, receive, teach and guide intimate touch and intentional erotic experiencing. This course qualifies you both as a sexual educator and touch facilitator.
EroSomatic Touch is a beautiful dance that infuses Tantra Meditation, Breath, Energy Work, and Sensual Somatic Touch of the WHOLE BODY. Abandoning Western Puritanical rules around sex and touch, an EroSomatic Touch practitioner invites the receiver into a somatic experience. This 20-week certification prepares the practitioner to heal through their own path of erotic self-actualization, embodiment and touch.
Somatic Sex Educator
This course is the bridge between touch based bodywork and talk based coaching practices. A sex doula is a trained and skilled somatic sex educator and professional intimacy guide who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the lover before, during and after intense sexual experiences, to help them achieve the most healing and satisfying experience possible.
The training prepares you to tend to your clients every curiosity and prepare them for an intense sexual awakening. In the same way that a birth doula is different than a midwife, a sexual doula is different than a surrogate.

MY LAST PIECE OF ADVICE
I know first hand what it's like to start from scratch. There were NO training programs teaching what I teach when I started. This program is the result of over 25 years of sex work, embodiment practices and somatic education.
It takes time, discipline and dedication. It takes a big enough "why" and a whole lot of erotic bravery. And I know that you have all of that inside of you. Stop selling yourself short and let me help you get started today.
