RHI Somatic Intimacy Coach & Bodywork Practitioner & Supervisor Directory

Your practitioner will help you explore step-by-step practices that will support you in inhabiting new ways of being. You decide together which Practices will support your growth.

Our Somatic Intimacy Coaches and Bodywork Practitioners are all trained in the REEF™ (Relational Erotic and Emotional Fluency) coaching model as developed by Katie Sarra and Phoebe Garland. This has its foundations in Mindfulness, Sexological Bodywork®, Body Poem™, Wheel of Consent®, Right Use Of Power™, and Affective Relational Neuroscience teachings and practices.

All our CSI, CSIB Practitioners & CSSE Supervisors are trained in facilitating online from anywhere in the world. You can search for CSIB practitioners in your geographical location.

Our somatic Intimacy Coaches and Bodywork practitioners are trained to facilitate over 45 somatic practices to enhance your embodied decision-making in intimate relationships with yourself and others.

Our Somatic Intimacy coaches and bodywork practitioners (CSIB) can also include practitioner touch in your session, updating your somatic library as you learn ways you like and don’t like to be touched and receiving bodywork that heals scars and trauma. We all carry scars, whether they be emotional or physical. Your practitioner has training in scar tissue remediation to offer presence and guided, specific types of touch that release what has been limiting your movement and fluidity with your emotions and body. 

Our CSSE Somatic Sex Educators and Professional Supervisors are trained to facilitate your supervision needs, informed by the Right Use of Power™, Body Poem, and The Wheel of Consent, to meet the ethical requirements to practice in this field.

Our practitioners are trained in power-informed, enthusiastic consent, and our coaching model is based on active receiving. This means that the embodiment practices are co-created, with clear plans aligned with your learning intentions. You will be guided every step of the way within our session structure.

Learning to explore, discovering new ways of being in privacy.

These are journeys into deeper self-acceptance that lead to confidence to change what is not right for you.

Your practitioner is trained to support your confidence in intimate decision-making and to help you heal from the emotional hangovers of times we have suffered through.

Deepening our attuned relationship with our body supports being informed by it as we navigate agreements in intimate relationships.

We are most disabled when we are unable to represent ourselves. This may be due to not knowing what we want, losing sensations, or lacking confidence.

Our practitioners are trained to support you with erotic and emotional fluency and regulation so that whatever arises in a session can be welcomed and navigated together - including trauma responses. There may be aspects of your life you feel some shame or shyness about and want to be liberated from, and your practitioner can be alongside you, helping you out of loneliness that is so common when we are experiencing shame.

You will be guided through what we call ‘Somatic Assessments’ for enhancing your confidence in intimate decision-making. These include enhancing your somatic recognition of what you feel a yes to and what you feel a no to, and how to tell the difference, learning how to recognise and represent your limits before it's too late,

These practices include empowering your agency and building confidence through The Wheel of Consent to explore co-created relationship agreements we are all on board with; becoming fluent in navigating intimate space and distances; role-playing repair processes; becoming fluent in your creative self-expression; healing body image concerns; and many more.

We all carry culturally influenced internalised inhibitions that interrupt our receptivity and attunement for trusting our authentic spontaneity.

Many of our practitioners are specialised in working with couples to help you come together and get back on the same page after ruptures in your attunement and understanding of each other. We offer practices for you both to inhabit new ways of being, so you can grow together and deepen your intimacy skills with each other.

You may wish to overcome troublesome turn-ons, intrusive inner dialogue, flashbacks, or repeating patterns in relationships that no longer serve your best interests.

This may include exploring core erotic themes that are unconsciously driving your relationship choices.

For some, hypersensitivity in arousal or numbness and loss of arousal alongside emotions or loss of feelings may be limiting your choice with your confidence in intimate situations.
