Somatic Intimacy Coaching
Your body knows
things your mind
keeps forgetting.
Somatic coaching works with the nervous system, not just the intellect. If you've done the therapy, read the books, and still feel something is missing — this is probably what's missing. We work with your body because that's where change actually lives.
What does somatic actually mean?
Somatic comes from the Greek soma — body. Somatic sex coaching is an approach to intimacy, sexuality, and relational healing that works through the body and nervous system rather than purely through conversation and insight.
Most of us have learned to manage our inner lives from the neck up. We think about our feelings, analyze our patterns, understand our history. And still — the anxiety before sex, the numbness in relationships, the disconnection from our own bodies — doesn't go away. That's because those patterns live in the body, and the body needs its own kind of conversation.
Somatic sex coaching
Coaching that integrates body awareness, breathwork, and movement to address sexual and relational challenges.
Sexological bodywork
A body-based modality using touch, breath, and somatic techniques to support sexual healing and education.
Nervous system regulation
Teaching your body to move out of threat responses and into capacity for real connection and presence.
Embodied intimacy
Intimacy that lives in sensation, breath, and presence — not just in the story you tell yourself about it.
How somatic
coaching works
Somatic intimacy coaching isn't a single technique — it's a framework. We draw from several body-based modalities depending on what you need, where you are, and what your nervous system is ready for. Sessions are built around you, not a curriculum.
01
We map your body's history
Before anything physical, we get curious about what you're carrying. Where you go numb. Where you over-feel. Where you check out. This isn't confession — it's navigation.
02
We work with your nervous system
Breathwork, movement, and somatic awareness practices that help your body learn it's safe to feel — and safe to want, and safe to receive.
03
We use touch when it serves you
Not every session involves touch. When it does, it's intentional, consent-forward, and always in service of your healing — never performance, never pressure.
04
We integrate what comes up
What surfaces during bodywork needs somewhere to land. We close each session with time to make meaning of the experience.
05
We build a practice over time
One session can open a door. A series builds the house. We talk about what makes sense for your life, your budget, and your goals.
A full toolkit,
built around you
Breathwork
Regulating the nervous system and moving stuck energy through conscious breath.
Somatic awareness
Learning to read your body's language: sensation, tension, opening, collapse.
Neo-tantra
Sacred sexuality practices adapted for modern men and modern lives.
Touch work
Intentional, consent-based bodywork when the work calls for it.
The men who come to me have usually exhausted the things that were supposed to fix them. Therapy, self-help, willpower. What they haven't tried yet is their own body. That's where we go.

they were missing until they found it.
I'd been in therapy for years. I could tell you everything about my childhood and still felt completely cut off from my body during sex. One session with Trevor and I understood what the problem actually was.
— M., 44, Los Angeles
I came in thinking I needed to fix something broken. I left realizing I wasn't broken — I was just holding my breath. Literally. Trevor has a gift for making the most uncomfortable work feel completely safe.
— D., 38, West Hollywood
As a straight man, I was nervous going in. The warmth and lack of judgment made it easy. And the results have shown up in my relationship with my wife in ways I didn't expect and couldn't have predicted.
— R., 51, Silver Lake
Let's talk before
you decide anything.
Thirty minutes, no pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation to see if this work is right for you — and if I'm the right person to do it with you.
