You are made to receive

Receiving is the most natural thing in the world—whether it’s love, pleasure, care, or support. 

And yet, for so many, it’s one of the hardest things to do.  

Most of us are conditioned to give rather than receive. We’re taught that our worth is tied to how much we do for others, how much we can endure, how little we ask for. 

In particular, women and caregivers are often expected to put everyone else’s needs first, making receiving feel foreign, even selfish.  

Then there’s trauma. When past experiences have taught your nervous system that love and generosity come with strings attached, or that needing something makes you vulnerable, receiving can feel unsafe. 

Instead of relaxing into pleasure, you may brace against it. Instead of trusting care, you may push it away. You might feel obligated to give back immediately.  

But here’s the truth: Receiving is an essential part of connection, intimacy, and aliveness. 

It allows us to be nourished, to be moved, to be deeply met by another. It’s what makes s-x and relationships a reciprocal dance, rather than an exhausting performance of endless giving.  

One of my gifts as a somatic s-x and relationship coach is that I do not struggle with receiving. 

It comes easily to me, and that’s not something I take for granted. 

I know what it feels like to let love, pleasure, and support land fully in my body, without guilt, without resistance. 

And that ease? It’s something I can help you cultivate.  

Through somatic work, we gently explore the places where receiving feels blocked—whether it’s discomfort, fear, or an ingrained belief that you don’t deserve it. 

We work with your body, your nervous system, your sensations, so you can rewire the patterns that keep you from fully opening.  

Imagine feeling truly held. 

Imagine experiencing pleasure without needing to earn it. 

Imagine love coming your way, and instead of shrinking or deflecting, you breathe it in and let it change you.  

That’s what’s possible when you reclaim your ability to receive. And you don’t have to do it alone.
