Certificate in Sexological Bodywork®

Do you, or would you like to, work ethically and professionally with sexuality?

The 9-month Sexological Bodywork professional training, 03 February - 23 November, 2027, teaches world-class practices developed by Dr. Joseph Kramer such as Mapping and Orgasmic Yoga, all grounded in Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent and featuring in-depth functional anatomy from Ellen Heed.

We have a maximum of 14 places for the Level 1 Certificate in Sexological Bodywork (CSB) and 4 places for the Level 2 Certificate in Somatic Sex Education (CSSE).

A recent student said: "This course is thorough and essential for anyone wanting to offer ethical educational training and support in the field of sexuality."

You will learn a variety of instructive modalities, including breathwork, Clean Language, Body Poem, embodied consent, scar tissue remediation, erotic bodywork and mindful masturbation coaching. Other topics include neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and gender, relationship and sexual diversity (GRSD).

The training emphasises session structure, embodied skills, business practices, and group facilitation. The main foci are on you developing your own embodiment and learning how to facilitate self-regulation and agency with your students' decision-making.

Be aware that this is an intensive course of study which requires real dedication and commitment.

If that describes you, we hope to have the chance to learn with you!

Return on Investment

A typical hourly rate for many CSBs is £150 per hour and a typical session time is 2 hours. Given those figures, it would be possible to recoup your training investment in 20 sessions. If you had 3 sessions per week, this would take less than 2 months.

Most students begin earning before the course has ended, by charging a reduced rate for sessions while they are completing certification during Module 5.

What is Sexological Bodywork®?

Sexological Bodyworkers are certified sexologists, supporting individuals, couples and groups to learn to direct their own erotic development and/or work through sexual issues or concerns.

For many people, the only context for intimate touch and discussion has been within a relationship or partner engagement. This is understandable - and there are other contexts; one of which is education and curiosity. In Sexological Bodywork® sessions, practitioners intend to work outside of attraction or dis-attraction -- i.e. partner engagement is set asside in the service of learning.

Sexological Bodyworkers believe that sexual health and erotic education are basic human rights. The Certificate in Sexological Bodywork® professional training is for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, characteristics, or expressions.

Certified Sexological Bodyworkers operate with a client-led & client-centred approach and with a clear Code of Ethics. Sexological Bodywork has an educational focus, meaning that practitioners work with learning objectives that the clients bring. This means it is not a set of techniques, rather, the techniques are secondary to the educational contract.
