I am a Mother of 3 of African-Caribbean and Spanish descent, born and raised in London, UK and living in Portugal for 20+ years I have a background in dance and performing arts.
I cultivate a deep passion for teaching others how to connect to their body, to their natural joy and erotic expression, and have been facilitating groups for the last 20 years, guiding with empathy, compassion, lightness, curiosity and a strong sense of grounding.
Being a mother of three, and having struggled myself with not prioritising my own pleasure, I am called to share what I have learnt on my own journey and show you how it is possible to grow and transform into an erotically gifted being even after years of self-neglect.
In my work I encourage others to give themselves permission to connect to the parts of themselves that are fully alive, where their deepest truth and wisdom reside, cultivating a healthy relationship to Eros, Life force Intelligence.
I am certified as a Sexological Bodyworker & Intimacy Coach and I am an IRHS approved Supervisor and Coach, thanks to the ethical integrity and solid ground it provides as we dive into the most vulnerable places within our selves.

Martijn Gorree (he/him), a 40ish Dutch guy, former internet nerd turned sex geek and freshly certified sex coach.
Coming into this work from a mindfulness background with the Plum Village tradition. Followed by a few years of tantra experience and explorations in the world of Shibari.
Currently offering one-on-one coaching and facilitating workshops and events themed around personal development and sexuality.
I’m bringing loads of patience, sharp observations, directness, humour and a loving welcoming heart to those willing to dive into their sexuality.
I help people experience limiting beliefs or behaviours that may be blocking their sexual expression. Helping them develop new patterns of thinking and behaving that promote greater closeness and connection to themselves and their partners.
Overall, my goal is to help people realise their agency and freedom in sex. Helping them face their shame and shadows. Free of judgement. To deepen their sense of intimacy in themselves and other aspects of life.

In her sessions Ayah welcomes clients to explore their relationship to their body, to safety, pleasure, sensuality & the erotic, as well as how to support you into more choice & agency. The foundation of this work is to teach & work with the interpersonal neurobiology of trauma & how to support you into accessing your agency with ways of co and self-regulating intensity. This work is for you if you want to build sexual confidence, live life more fully, cultivate more presence, learn to listen to your body, your needs, desires, boundaries and your deepest longings & experience gentle rewiring of relational & somatic communication.

I am passionate about this work because it hands us back our personal power, instead of outsourcing it invites us into cultivating inner knowing & gives us the tools to connect to our own aliveness.

Inge Visser - The Netherlands and online
www.inge-visser.nl
My name is Inge Visser (she/her) and I have a background in social work. I have been working for years in mental health with all sorts of people and issues they are facing in life.
In my personal life I came across the path of Tantra and later on Somatic experiencing which changed my life and I wanted to integrate these contemporary visions into the more clinical based approaches. Both have a lot of value in my opinion.
I have had professional training in social work, relationship therapy, dearmouring, yoga, breathwork, psychosexual therapy, somatic experiencing, sexological bodywork and sexological intimacy coach (and many more!)
My specialism is around people who have gone through difficult periods in their lives and reconnecting again with their inner landscapes and being seen and heard in their rite of passage.
Examples of issues people come and seek my support for are women who have experienced a difficult birth and/ or postpartum experience. People who have experienced sexual abuse in their lives. People who are experiencing grief and loss in their lives connected to their relating. But you are welcome with any kind of support you are seeking. You can always reach out to me and we can have a conversation together.

.As long as I can remember, I have been doing my best to live my life as freely and self-expressively as I can, opposed to what my environment and social structures has taught me.
As a trauma survivor, it was unsafe and unpleasant in my body for a long time.
After years of trying various healing modalities, I felt at home in my body again through somatic practices.
Now, there is no other place I would like to be than in my body.
Therefore, I choose to dedicate my life to the teachings of the human inner world and well-being.
As a Sexological Bodyworker & intimacy coach, I support and hold space for people, through body experiences, to feel erotic, pleasurable, safe, happy and alive in their bodies.
The work involved gaining somatic skills to be present within our bodies and welcome whatever arises, so we can break old patterns and gain a new loving relationship with ourselves and our erotic being.
I come with compassion and care to this work and offer it in person in Berlin or online worldwide. .
