Both courses share the same foundational framework—The Six Adult Intimacy Engagements—but they serve different purposes and depths.

Turned On By Touch is your essential foundation. It’s a streamlined 4-module journey (15-25 minutes per module) that focuses on the core movements your nervous system needs to open to touch and intimacy: Safety, Sovereignty, Sensation, and Satiation. Think of it as learning the alphabet of embodied pleasure—the fundamental rhythms that allow you to feel safe, speak your truth, receive goodness, and rest in completion.

Reclaiming Your Pleasure is the comprehensive deep dive—a multi-week immersive experience with extensive practices including pelvic mapping, detailed exploration of developmental trauma repair, and profound somatic reconditioning. It goes much deeper into the why and how of your patterns, with more time for integration, somatic inquiries, and working with specific areas of numbness, guarding, or trauma.

If you’re new to somatic work or want a powerful introduction to nervous system-informed intimacy, start with Turned On By Touch. If you’re ready for comprehensive transformation and have the time for deeper practice, Reclaiming Your Pleasure will meet you there.

Many students complete Turned On By Touch first, then later enroll in Reclaiming Your Pleasure when they’re ready for the full journey.

This course is for anyone who wants to remember what it feels like to be truly alive in their body—especially in the realm of touch and intimacy.

You might be here because:

• Touch feels good in theory, but uncomfortable or overwhelming in practice
• You struggle to stay present during intimate moments—your mind wanders or you dissociate
• You have difficulty knowing what you actually want or how to ask for it
• You freeze, perform, or people-please rather than feeling and responding authentically
• You want to deepen intimacy with a partner but don’t know where to start
• You sense your body is capable of more sensation and pleasure than you currently experience
• You’ve completed therapy or trauma work and want to integrate that healing somatically

Whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner, whether you’re healing from past ruptures or simply curious about what embodied presence feels like—this course will meet you exactly where you are, without pressure, without performance, without rushing.

This is a fully embodied journey—not a lecture series. Each module includes:

Module 1: Safety — Yielding
You’ll learn what safety feels like in your body—not as a concept, but as a lived experience. Through guided practice, you’ll explore how to yield into support, to soften your nervous system, and to create the foundation where pleasure can actually take root.

Module 2: Sovereignty — Attuning & Voicing
You’ll discover your body’s language of “yes,” “no,” and “maybe”—and practice giving voice to those truths. You’ll learn to attune to sensation before thought, and to speak your desires and boundaries with clarity and self-respect.

Module 3: Sensation — Receiving
You’ll explore the art of receptivity—how to allow pleasure rather than chase it, how to open your tissues to nourishment, and how to receive touch (from yourself or another) without performance or defense.

Module 4: Satiation — Satiating & Releasing
You’ll learn what completion feels like—the exhale of “enough,” the peace of satiation, and the nervous system’s natural release into rest and fulfillment.

Each module includes teaching segments to ground you in the somatic principles, guided practices to give your body direct experience, and reflection prompts to deepen your integration.

This isn’t theory. It’s felt sense. And it changes everything.

Yes—and I want to be clear that this course is not a replacement for trauma therapy.

Everything here is designed with trauma-informed awareness. We begin with nervous system safety first—teaching your body to yield before we ever explore sensation. We emphasize your sovereignty at every step—your right to pause, to say no, to move at your own pace.

The entire framework honors that touch ruptures must be repaired through new experiences of safe, attuned, consensual touch—not through force or rushing.

That said, somatic work can stir material that’s been held in the body. If you have a history of trauma, I strongly encourage you to have therapeutic support in place—whether that’s a trauma-informed therapist, a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, or a trusted guide who can help you integrate what arises.

The practices here are gentle, empowering, and designed to restore your body’s trust in touch—but you are always in charge. You decide what feels safe, what to explore, and when to pause.

Your body’s boundaries are sacred here.

While all practices can be done solo, the principles translate beautifully into partnered exploration.

Once you understand how your nervous system moves through the four stages—Safety, Sovereignty, Sensation, Satiation—you can begin to communicate that to a partner:

• “I need a few minutes to yield and feel safe before we touch.”
• “Let me attune to what my body wants, and I’ll voice it clearly.”
• “I want to practice receiving your touch without giving back right now.”
• “I’m learning to stay with sensation until I feel complete—can we slow down?”

When both partners understand this language, intimacy becomes less about performance and more about nervous system attunement—meeting each other in safety, curiosity, and presence.

The deepest intimacy happens when both bodies feel safe, sovereign, and satiated.

The sequence of this course mirrors your nervous system’s natural blueprint for intimacy.

We don’t start with sensation or pleasure—we start with Safety (Yielding). Because without safety, the body cannot open. When your nervous system learns to rest into support, everything else becomes possible.

From that foundation, we move into Sovereignty (Attuning & Voicing)—teaching your body that its truth matters, that its yes and no are sacred, and that expressing desire is safe.

Once safety and sovereignty are established, we enter Sensation (Receiving)—the capacity to allow goodness in, to feel pleasure without performance, to be nourished by touch and presence.

And finally, we complete the cycle with Satiation (Satiating & Releasing)—where your body learns the exhale of “enough,” the peace of completion, and the trust that allows you to rest in fulfillment.

This sequence isn’t arbitrary—it’s developmental. It follows the same movements your nervous system needed in infancy to learn that intimacy was safe. By completing these movements as an adult, you repair what was interrupted and reclaim what’s always been yours: the capacity to feel safe, sovereign, and alive in your body.
