The First Step: The Foundations Session

Start with a Foundation Session at Desire Pathways. This is a private, low-risk 30-minute Zoom consultation ($50 NZD, which is credited back to your first full session). It’s a safe, fully clothed, trauma-informed space to chat about your intimacy goals, ease any nerves, and see how body-based coaching can help you reconnect with authentic pleasure. No expectations, no pressure—just a map for your unique journey.

Frequently asked questions

Not at all. In fact, most people come to me feeling a bit stuck, confused, or just knowing that something feels missing in their intimacy or connection. You don’t need to have the "perfect words" or a fully formed plan. My job during these 30 minutes is to hold space, ask the right questions, and help you untangle and map out those desires together.

No, this session is entirely verbal and online via Zoom. There is absolutely no nudity, touch, or bodywork involved. Think of it as a collaborative, trauma-informed conversation. We will chat about what brought you here, what you want to explore, and how somatic sexology works, ensuring you feel completely safe and informed before deciding to move forward.

It is incredibly normal. Vulnerability around intimacy, pleasure, and our bodies can bring up a lot of edge. Please know that whatever you are arriving with—anxiety, hesitation, or excitement—is fully welcome. There is no pressure to perform here; we move entirely at the pace of your nervous system.

Think of the $50 investment as a deposit toward your journey. It ensures that we are both committed to the time, but if we decide at the end of the call that we are a great fit to work together, that entire $50 will be credited directly toward the cost of your first full 1:1 or couples session.

Absolutely. If you are seeking couples or relationship coaching, I highly recommend that you both attend the Foundation Session. It allows us to establish a shared, safe container where both of your voices and perspectives are heard right from the very beginning.
