Intimacy & Embodiment

 An invitation to deepen your relationship with yourself - your body, desires, boundaries, pleasure and sense of aliveness. 

Intimacy is often associated with romantic or sexual relationships. But intimacy begins somewhere much closer to home — in our relationship with ourselves.

The word intimacy comes from the Latin intimus, meaning “innermost”, "deepest" or “most inward.” At its heart, intimacy is about allowing ourselves to know what is happening within us — our needs, desires, boundaries, emotions, sensations and longings — and developing the capacity to stay connected to ourselves as we move through life.

You don't need to be in a relationship to explore intimacy.

In fact, the relationship we have with ourselves influences every other relationship we experience.

 

Have you been wondering...

 ~What do I actually want, now that I'm no longer living entirely around other people's needs?

~What feels pleasurable, nourishing or alive to me?

~How connected am I to my body?

~How comfortable am I with being seen, receiving and allowing myself to have needs?

~Where have I learned to disconnect from my own desires?

~What would it mean to feel at home in my body? 

~Who am I becoming in this next chapter of my life?
 
Our capacity for self-connection can become complicated by the experiences we've had throughout our lives. Sometimes these patterns have developed as ways of keeping us safe.

Rather than viewing these responses as something that needs to be fixed, I approach them with curiosity and compassion. Using a somatic approach to intimacy work, together, we can explore what your body, nervous system and relational patterns may be communicating — and gently create new possibilities for connection.

Whether you're single, partnered, exploring your sexuality, navigating a life transition or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, intimacy work can be an invitation to come back into relationship with your own inner world.

To know yourself.
To feel yourself.
To trust yourself.
To be more fully yourself.
