Find your pattern
The Nervous System + Intimacy Quiz takes about four minutes. It identifies your dominant response pattern and tells you what it looks like in your body, your relationship, and your sex life — with a free guide sent to your inbox.
What the work involves
Somatic intimacy work is body-based. It is not talk therapy and it is not coaching. The practices work directly with the nervous system’s responses — through breath, movement, physical awareness, and carefully structured contact — until the body has a different experience to draw from.
Sessions are one-to-one, online or in person in Cape Town. Work typically begins with the quiz to identify your dominant pattern, followed by a free 30-minute vibe check to see if we are the right fit.
