MY APPROACH

What is Somatic Intimacy Coaching?

This work can feel vulnerable—which is exactly why it can be so powerful. Many people have never had a space to explore these parts of themselves without fear or judgment. My role isn’t to fix you—because you’re not broken—but to sit with you in the discomfort, the uncertainty, and the moments of discovery. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome, just as they are.

At IntimaMente, I combine experiential learning, conversation, and education to help you expand your skills and beliefs around intimacy, sex, and relationships. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, incorporating a variety of approaches—from role-playing and mindful touch to breathwork and movement. There’s no one-size-fits-all.

So how does somatic intimacy coaching help? Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic work recognises that true change happens not just through talking, but through embodied experience. The word somatic comes from the Greek soma, meaning body consciousness. By practicing awareness, movement, breath, and other research-backed exercises, we create new patterns—not just in the mind, but in the body.

How we show up in our intimate relationships often reflects how we show up in the world. Our fears, wounds, and frustrations don’t just surface in the bedroom—they shape our interactions as partners, colleagues, parents, and friends. When we explore intimacy, we’re not just rewriting our sex lives—we’re reclaiming who we are at our core.

"From the very first session, I felt completely at ease. Lucia has a way of holding space that made it easy to open up about things I’ve never shared before."
