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.

FAQ

Is this the same as therapy or counselling?
Unlike traditional therapy, somatic sexology is future-focused. While we may discuss your past or present experiences, our sessions focus on building practical embodiment skills and physical awareness to align with your future desires rather than clinical diagnosis or talk-only therapy.
Is there any nudity or sexual contact involved?
Strictly no. This is a fully clothed, professional service. As an online somatic coach, I do not engage in any nudity or physical touch. Our work focuses on guided movement, breath, and awareness from a distance.
Is it normal to feel nervous about my first session?
Absolutely. It is incredibly common to feel a mix of nerves and curiosity. Discussing intimacy and dropping into your body is a vulnerable act. Starting with a foundation session creates a low-pressure way to meet over Zoom, ask questions, and get a feel for my approach before committing to deeper work. Your comfort and consent are the foundation of everything we do.
What happens in the $50 NZD Foundation Session?
This is a 30-minute Zoom call to discuss your goals, ensure that this modality will help you meet them, and explain the next steps for your specific needs. This Zoom session also has a brief introduction of the 5 Somatic tools and corresponding skills. If we decide to move forward, this session's fee is credited toward your first full appointment.
