Michaela guides individuals and couples toward a clearer, more present relationship with intimacy and connection. While completing her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, she realised that understanding human behaviour intellectually is only one piece of the puzzle, because talking about connection to yourself and others is very different from actually experiencing it. This led her to complete a Certificate in Somatic Sex Coaching through the Institute of Somatic Sexology. As a certified practitioner and registered member of the Somatic Sex Educators Association of Australasia, Michaela uses a straightforward framework built on five simple, everyday tools: breath, awareness, touch, sound, and movement. What to Expect Sessions are collaborative, down-to-earth, and entirely self-paced. Instead of focusing on goals, performance, or specific expectations, the work centers on helping you feel comfortable and present in your own skin. Together, we explore how to let go of old habits or stories that no longer serve your connections, creating a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore at a pace that feels right for you. A Note on Practice Boundaries To maintain a safe, focused, and professional environment, all coaching sessions are strictly fully clothed. While the work explores intimacy and somatic connection, it does not involve explicit or erotic touch, allowing you to focus entirely on building a comfortable connection with your own body. Services & Pricing (All prices in NZD): Individual Pathway: $180 per 60-minute session (available online via Zoom). Relational Pathway: $340 per 90-minute session (available online via Zoom). Events & Experiences: Safe, immersive group workshops held locally in Taupō to explore intimacy and connection....

Juli Maroux

I’m Juli Maroux - a Ritualist, Edge Educator, and Priestess of Eros. I’ve always been drawn to the edges of human experience - the places where things become real. For many years, I worked in emergency care, holding people through moments where control, identity, and certainty fall away. That shaped how I see and meet people. Today, my work lives in a different setting, but the essence is the same. I’m deeply devoted to working in the realms of sensuality, sexuality, and power - because this is where so much of what we hide, suppress, or disconnect from lives. Not as something separate from the rest of life, but as something deeply interwoven with how we feel, relate, and move through the world. I create spaces where you don’t have to hold yourself together. Where you can step out of performance, out of self-judgment, and into a more honest experience of yourself - including the parts you’ve learned to hide. My approach is grounded, present, and attuned. I work with the body, sensation, and conscious power dynamics as a way to access depth that can’t be reached through thinking alone. Safety, for me, is not just about boundaries and consent - it’s about creating a space where you feel seen without being judged, and where nothing needs to be forced. Everything unfolds at a pace your system can actually integrate. I do this work because I’ve seen what becomes possible when people allow themselves to be met more fully - not as who they think they should be, but as they are....

Valentine Blue

Stop waiting to be chosen: start choosing yourself. I’m Valentine Blue (yes, like my hair!): your Solo Sex Coach and playful guide to erotic freedom. I work with curious, unconventional humans who are done putting themselves last and want to explore sex, intimacy and relationships beyond traditional norms and beyond couplehood. For the past decade, I’ve been navigating sex-positive spaces, working in sexual health and harm reduction, between shelters and brothels, supporting people in reclaiming their bodies, their FUCK YES, and their autonomy. From immersive workshops to 1:1 coaching, my approach blends coaching, erotic embodiment, and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to create spaces where you can explore your sensuality without performance, pressure or predefined roles (and always with a sprinkle of fun). I don’t teach you how to be desirable. I guide you back to yourself, so everything else becomes a choice. If you’re ready to live, love, and fuck differently - on purpose - you’re already an OddBird. Welcome to the Flock....

Saara Rei

Saara Rei is a workshop facilitator and performance artist with a background in music, dance, education, and public speaking. Saara's work generally centers around the exploration of suffering, both physical and emotional. Through their kink practice, Saara has come to understand that suffering comes from the comparison of what has been or could be to the present moment. And with that, Saara enjoys teaching about how to use suffering as a path to presence and enjoyment in life. Having a Ph.D. in mathematics, Saara’s academic experience adds an intellectual flair to complement their performative approach to bodywork. Playfulness and humor make up a big chunk of Saara's personality and approach to life, giving their workshops a very exploitative and light atmosphere, even while approaching some of the heaviest of topics....

Catia leitao

I was born in the fertile lands of Portugal and I am a creative explorer in the realms of healing, intimacy, sexuality and embodied transformation. I am a Somatic Sexual Psychotherapist, teacher, bodyworker and facilitator, dedicated to supporting deeper connection between body, emotions, pleasure and relational life. Over the past years, I have woven together my therapeutic and educational background with Portuguese ancestral wisdom traditions, exploring geomedicine and crystal vibration practices ( Yoni Eggs), alongside magical herbalism as pathways for embodiment, self-inquiry and transformation. My approach integrates sexuality and spirituality through a conscious, grounded and humanised lens. As a therapist and facilitator, I hold one-to-one sessions for women, including Yoni Healing Therapy and intimate therapeutic work. I also facilitate women’s groups and trainings in Sacred Squirting, Women’s Sexuality & Self-Care, Yoni Yoga® and Vibrational Pompoir, as well as mixed groups and retreats exploring Conscious Intimacy, Tantra, Pleasure and relational growth. My work creates sex-positive, heart-centred spaces that invite greater presence, authenticity and connection, supporting people in reclaiming intimacy as a path of self-discovery and aliveness.
