Tell us more about you & what you do as a somatic intimacy coach
I’m Amy, a Toronto-based Somatic Intimacy coach and bodywork practitioner who longs to see and feel people inhabiting the richness of their erotic self, while learning to deepen their relational fluency.
My work is a blend of somatic sex education, pleasure mapping, body literacy, and embodied consent designed to educate, explore, and develop the erotic intelligence inside.
This approach enhances the ability to unwind limiting patterns, re-sensitise the body, and create a more expansive erotic state while cultivating enough safety to notice and trust one’s self expression, and communicate it authentically.
I work with people one to one for the most part, but will be expanding into group work this year as well.
What turns you on?
The unapologetic wild of nature.
What was your journey to being a somatic intimacy coach in Toronto?
Non linear. After years of disconnection and disembodiment, I took the long slow journey of feeling as a way to reclaim my sexual and sensual nourishment, increase my joy and pleasure, while learning practical approaches to build trust and intimacy with myself and the world around me.
It cracked me open in many ways, and ultimately restored the connection I have with my eroticism, power, and body. And that’s something I’m very passionate about supporting others with through somatic intimacy coaching.
What do the first 60 minutes of your day look like?
This changes often and depends on the seasons, and my cycle. Right now, I’m practicing body based ways to support and nourish my nervous system and heart before I even leave my bed.
So, some kind of self cherishing, or pleasure ritual. The practicality of it is sensorial movement, sound, breath, touch, supporting pathways of aliveness to come through.
What is an unexpected pleasure you discovered in your work?
I had no real sense of how this work as a somatic intimacy coach would turn me toward myself. I’ve discovered what it means to be in my body fully. To feel with everything I have, even when I’m erupting with grief or awe.

Through somatic intimacy coaching, I’ve learned, and am learning to stay on a deep, cellular, visceral level. To love myself without editing the things I may not always want to witness that’s the pleasure of being in a body, for real.
Why do you do what you do?
Because it breaks my heart not to.
I want to continue shaping the world of sexuality, to be a part of its depth and expansion. I think it’s really important when we’ve been asked to step toward something and believe in it deeply, to stay the course. To continue forming what’s malleable and show up with our own humility to something much bigger than us.
Because this work isn’t static, it’s an alive being full of culture, embodied intelligence, and spontaneity. What we breathe into it matters, and I want that breath to be life giving, soul affirming, and deeply attuned to this human experience.
What should more people know about your work as a somatic intimacy coach?
It’s relational. It’s vulnerable. It’s slow. It’s everything we tend to avoid.
Sexual fulfilment isn’t something we accumulate through techniques or performance, it’s a process, a practice, and a meeting of the most tender elements of ourselves.
There is nothing superficial about this work. It will ask you to fully inhabit yourself, while being witnessed with a loving presence through it. And that raw edge of intimacy is what makes it possible.
It’s also a place to get thorough and nerdy about our wants, needs, desires, and forms of touch we might never have had the opportunity to explore.
It isn’t necessarily my job to be really skilled with touching bodies, it’s more so my job to remain curious, attuned, and skillful at asking the right questions about the touch my clients want.
To trust their inherent wisdom while building their agency enough to request authentically, as we co create spaces of exploration together.
What is your superpower?
Seeing people. Their magic, humanity, and love. I look at people, and see them for that, even when they’re hiding.
Who are your sensual inspirations?
Erykah Badu was the first woman who made me think “We can do that?” I was around 15 when I found her, and was totally enthralled by her every move. She felt powerful and sensual in a way that was purely her own not for anyone’s gaze but something deeply inhabited in herself.
And honestly, the women in my life continue to inspire and touch my heart in ways they wouldn’t imagine. Their messy, powerful, raw expression it’s the most sensual thing in the world. I’m inspired by all of them, in some way, and carry each of them with me.
