Valentine Bordet

I'm Valentine (she/they), a award-winning somatic sexologist, intimacy coordinator, pleasure workshop facilitator, feminist activist, performer and artist. Through my work, I invite people to question and transcend the concepts of hetero-mono-normativity in intimacy, relationships, and sexuality. I offer 1:1 and couple sessions that blend somatic education and gentle conversation. These sessions allow you to understand how the past has formed your current relationships and pleasure, and together we define the path to get you to where you want to be.

My approach is client-led, creative, holistic, trauma-informed, inclusive (of all humans, work, sexual preferences…) and gender/sexuality affirming. I am passionate about supporting sexual liberation through a no-taboo, shame-free and pleasure-centred education. My work is anchored in intersectional feminism, sex-positivity, queer theories, nervous system work, embodied consent and creating safer spaces.

Sexuality and eroticism is a core part of what makes us human yet there are still so many outdated and damaging narratives preventing us from living our best (sex) life. We all deserve to feel confident and curious to explore our bodies and erotic power. Are you ready to claim pleasure as your birthright and learn what makes you feel alive?

It would be my pleasure to work with you.

I am the founder of Collective Of Pleasure, a creative grassroots collective on a mission to empower people to unapologetically explore their pleasure. Through our workshops, events and creative productions we aim to question and transcend the norms and dogmas in intimacy, relationships, and sexuality.

We believe in creating a safer, braver, and more powerful space to connect to our unique needs and desires, to open conversations and smash societal taboo. We are pleasure activists and believe that pleasure is a birthright and an everyday essential that everyone should have access to.

Together, we want to build an inclusive community where diverse identities and stories are not only welcomed but celebrated. We strive to create a new blueprint for intimacy in which we redefine pleasure, transcend shame and step into our full pleasure potential.
