Breaking the Silence: How Somatic Sex Coaching is Transforming Intimacy and Healing in Silicon Valley
In a city driven by innovation and progress, conversations about sexual health, intimacy, and pleasure often remain in the shadows. But in Mountain View, California, one practitioner is working to change that.
Meet the Sexological Bodyworker and Intimacy Coach behind My Sex & Sensibility, a practice that is pioneering holistic, body-based solutions for individuals and couples struggling with issues ranging from painful sex and pelvic trauma to low libido and intimacy challenges.
For those who have spent years navigating frustration, discomfort, or disconnect in their relationships or sexual health, this science-backed, somatic approach is opening doors that conventional medicine often leaves closed.
Why Traditional Approaches to Sexual Health Often Fall Short
When it comes to sexual dysfunction and intimacy struggles, most solutions fall into two categories:
1️⃣ Medical Interventions – Pills, hormones, and surgical procedures address physical symptoms but often fail to acknowledge the emotional and nervous system components.
2️⃣ Talk Therapy – While essential for emotional processing, traditional therapy often doesn’t integrate the physical body, leaving clients feeling disconnected from their sensuality.
This is where somatic sex education and sexological bodywork come in. By blending mind, body, and nervous system healing, this hands-on, body-based approach is transforming how people heal from trauma, cultivate pleasure, and reclaim their intimate lives.
What Exactly is Somatic Sex Coaching?
Unlike traditional therapy, somatic coaching works directly with the body to release tension, retrain the nervous system, and restore natural pleasure responses.
???? Somatic means “of the body.” Instead of just talking through sexual challenges, clients engage in guided breathwork, movement, touch, and mindfulness practices to:
✔ Heal scar tissue from childbirth, surgery, or trauma
✔ Reduce pain during sex (including vaginismus, vulvodynia, and dyspareunia)
✔ Address erectile dysfunction and performance anxiety
✔ Restore libido and enhance desire
✔ Support intimacy after trauma
✔ Develop deeper communication in relationships
Through specialized techniques like Scar Tissue Remediation, Holistic Pelvic Care™, and nervous system regulation, somatic work allows clients to reconnect with their bodies, release stored trauma, and experience deeper pleasure.
Who Benefits from Somatic Sex Therapy?
Sexual dysfunction is more common than many people think, yet it remains one of the least talked-about health issues. Clients at My Sex & Sensibility seek support for a variety of concerns, including:
✨ Painful Sex & Pelvic Pain – Many women suffer from chronic vaginal pain (vaginismus, vulvodynia, or postpartum trauma) that makes intimacy difficult or impossible. Through scar tissue massage, breathwork, and touch therapy, this pain can be relieved naturally.
✨ Low Libido & Desire Discrepancy – When partners have mismatched sexual desires, it can lead to tension, resentment, and disconnection. Somatic coaching helps couples reignite desire and improve communication.
✨ Erectile Dysfunction & Performance Anxiety – Many men experience stress, shame, or physiological challenges when it comes to maintaining an erection. Rather than relying on medication, somatic bodywork teaches techniques to calm the nervous system and restore natural function.
✨ Postpartum & Post-Surgery Healing – After childbirth or pelvic surgery, scar tissue can cause tightness, numbness, or pain. Specialized scar tissue remediation therapy helps restore sensation and flexibility.
✨ Healing from Sexual Trauma – Trauma can create unconscious tension in the body, leading to avoidance, anxiety, or numbness. Somatic approaches help survivors feel safe, rebuild trust, and reclaim their pleasure.
✨ Enhancing Pleasure & Intimacy – Many couples seek support not because something is wrong, but because they want to deepen their connection and explore new levels of intimacy.

What to Expect from a Session
Unlike a standard doctor’s visit or therapy session, somatic sex coaching is a hands-on, body-based experience.
???? Step 1: Consultation & Intake – Clients begin with an in-depth conversation about their concerns, goals, and comfort levels.
???? Step 2: Breath & Nervous System Work – Since the body holds stress and trauma, guided breathwork helps release tension and prepare for deeper work.
???? Step 3: Hands-On Bodywork (if applicable) – Techniques like gentle massage, scar tissue remediation, or pelvic release therapy may be used. Clients are always in full control of the process.
???? Step 4: Integration & Home Practices – Clients receive practices and exercises to continue their healing and growth between sessions.
