Trauma informed isn’t enough anymore

Many healing modalities are trauma-informed—they acknowledge trauma’s impact and seek to minimize re-triggering. But Somatic Sex and Relationship Coaching goes further. 

It’s a Trauma-Empowered model. 

Rather than just working around trauma, we take ownership of it. 

We cultivate safety inside ourselves, not just in external environments. We don’t just avoid re-traumatization—we actively build resilience, reclaim pleasure, and expand our capacity for connection.

Here’s what it means to be trauma-empowered:

✨ Instead of getting stuck in old patterns, I help you return to the present moment so you can reorient yourself to what's happening now in your body, emotions, and desires.

✨ Healing happens when we deeply feel our experiences, anchoring into sensation, breath, and movement rather than just analyzing them. This process is called embodiment and I can help you with it. As part of embodiment you also learn how to stay in your body during erotic experiences.

✨ You regain trust in yourself and feel empowered by practicing setting boundaries and consent. 

✨ Trauma can make trusting others feel impossible. A trauma-empowered approach helps rebuild trust—not by forcing it, but by creating experiences where trust can grow naturally and safely over time.

✨ You learn how to take ownership of your trauma through assessing what you need to do to take care of your wounded parts when you get triggered. You also learn what you can ask your partner to do in order to avoid being re-traumatized. You practice sharing about your trauma and asking for what you need. 

✨ You don’t just “heal” from trauma—you own and celebrate your sexuality so you actively create experiences of pleasure, joy, and connection. Those experiences begin to overpower the painful ones. You build a new reality where sexuality is a source of delight and empowerment.

✨ Whether in relationships, creative expression, or simply the way we move through life, you express your sexuality out in the World. You bring your full, alive, turned-on self to every situation.

The trauma-empowered approach is about moving beyond survival into thriving, beyond avoiding pain into fully embracing life. 

It’s about knowing that we are more than our wounds—we are pleasure, power, and possibility.
