A holistic sexual response.
Expressive Soma was created to provide adults who experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) a place they can go to for holistic sex education and 1:1 Somatic Sex coaching services.
As someone who experienced this trauma I saw limited resources that directly spoke to me as a survivor and the nuances of what I was experiencing with my sexual healing journey.
The following are the elements of my approach which are infused across the services provided at Expressive Soma to support you in developing your sexually educated inner-parent and improve your sexual life:
Reparenting - The simple act of considering going on a sexual healing journey is an act of reparenting, and those of us who are reparenting ourselves need a village too.
Holistic Sex Education - By being holistically educated about what sex is beyond the act, we allow for another relationship with it to emerge.
Creative Expression - Sensual Writing is a sexual somatic and arts based therapeutic listening process to support us in developing the skill of sensing what is happening physically and express it through a creative medium. This experiential practice lets the individual have in real time practice with facilitation for support.
The My Body of Words Program
Sensual. Compassionate. Practicle.
Sensual Writing
Reconnecting With Your Whole Body
Sensual Writing is the body based practice that we will do each week we meet. It involves movement, mediation, touch of the whole body, breath-work, writing and oration. Through this process we deepen, and often mend the connections with our body and our voice which often feels lost, shrunken, or non-existent when it comes to our sexual lives, and sometimes beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need writing or performance experience to work with you?
No, not at all. Having an arts and sexual somatic based program are purposeful approaches to support you in reconnecting to your body and making more informed decisions as it relates to your sexual well being. All you need is an open heart, an open mind and willingness to do something different.
How long is the 1:1 program and what to expect?
The My Body of Words Program is a 3 month coaching program in which we will work towards your particular sexual healing goals using a body and expressive arts based approach. So each person will have varied results due to their experience however, the program has 3 overall objectives as well.
By the time it ends you will have:
1. An understanding of how you uniquely listen to your body, how to improve that listening mechanism and communicate the process to others.
2. An overall holistic understanding of the longterm effects of childhood sexual abuse, especially its unique impact on your relationship to the body, sex, and pleasure.
3. At least 11 pieces of written work that you can reflect, reference, build on and, share with others if you choose.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching can be therapeutic but we do not focus on the past and how it's impacting your mental health, and we don't diagnose, just a couple of things that therapy does.
I am not a licensed mental health professional. I am a certified coach, author, performer and pull from my own experiences as a survivor plus the trainings and research Ive done and continue to do.
In a coaching experience, we address where you are today as it relates to your sexual life and well being and where you want to be. Based on this future focused orientation we create a plan that supports you get from point A to B. Coaching is actionable, future orientated and I believe has a higher touch point because you have a level of access to me during the 3 months for support that is not typical in therapy.
The My Body of Words program is therapeutic by having an art and sexual somatic based practice embedded in its fabric through the Sensual Writing Practice.
