Cora Souza

My work is coaching, not psychotherapy. I use a Somatic and experiential approach inspired by the training from the Somatica Institute, which focuses on embodiment, intimacy, communication, desire, and relational skills through guided experiences and practical tools. Sessions are future-oriented and experiential rather than focused only on analysis or diagnosis.

No. I work with both individuals and couples. Some people come because they want to reconnect with their own body, understand their desires, heal shame, or feel more confident sexually and emotionally. Others come as couples wanting to rebuild intimacy, desire, communication, or emotional safety.

No explicit sexual services are offered. My work is educational, somatic, relational, and coaching-based. Boundaries, consent, professionalism, and emotional safety are extremely important in the way I work.

Completely. Most people were never taught how to talk openly about intimacy, desire, boundaries, pleasure, or emotional needs without shame. Part of the work is creating enough safety so these conversations can become more natural, grounded, and compassionate.

Yes, especially when low desire is connected to stress, emotional disconnection, pressure, shame, nervous system overload, routine, performance anxiety, or loss of erotic curiosity. One of the core ideas in Somatic intimacy work is that desire is not only “mental” — it is relational, emotional, physical, energetic, and contextual.

These are Somatic concepts used to better understand what genuinely creates arousal, emotional aliveness, and erotic connection for each person. Core Desires are the deeper feelings a person longs to experience through intimacy — such as feeling desired, adored, safe, free, powerful, connected, worshipped, playful, surrendered, or emotionally seen. A Hottest Sexual Movie is the internal erotic “blueprint” that organizes attraction and arousal. It is the "scene" or script in your head involving specific characters, settings, and actions that bring the most pleasure, to fulfill the Core Desires. This work helps people move away from performance and toward authentic erotic self-understanding.

Absolutely. Many intelligent, high-functioning people spend most of their lives disconnected from their bodies due to stress, overthinking, shame, burnout, trauma, or performance pressure. A large part of my work is helping people gently reconnect with sensation, pleasure, embodiment, and emotional presence without pressure or perfectionism.

My background combines innovation, human experience design, Somatic intimacy coaching, and evidence-based relational practices. I work as a bridge between the emotional, the embodied, and the erotic — helping people move away from pressure, performance, and scripts, and toward more alive, intentional, connected experiences. The work is both structured and deeply human.

That’s very common. Talking about intimacy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve spent years holding things inside, feeling disconnected, ashamed, confused, or afraid of being judged. My intention is not to “fix” you, but to create a safe space where you can explore yourself and your relationships with curiosity, honesty, and compassion.
