SEXOLOGICAL BODYWORK

AUSTRALIA

.

.

Sexological Bodywork® is a holistic approach to somatic sex education and therapy, aimed at enhancing individuals’ and couples’ sexual health and overall well-being. Sexological Bodyworkers (SBs) are skilled professionals who employ a combination of talk therapy, coaching, and hands-on bodywork techniques to support clients in their exploration and expansion of sexuality.

The foundation of Sexological Bodywork lies in the recognition that sexuality is an integral aspect of the human experience, and that sexual issues can stem from physical, emotional, and psychological factors.

Through collaboration with clients, Sexological Bodyworkers facilitate the development of increased body awareness, understanding of desires and boundaries, and resolution of any obstacles inhibiting the experience of pleasure and connection.
