How is Sexological Bodywork different than Sex Therapy or Sex Coaching?

Whereas sex therapy works to help specific issues, Sexological Bodywork is a modality that educates while addressing issues such as pelvic pain, orgasm difficulties, erectile dysfunction etc. In other words, Sexological Bodyworkers are primarily sex educators who use hands-on education to teach about pleasure, and help you expand your erotic capacity.

Unlike a sex therapist, Sexological Bodyworkers teach from who they are; they use their own life experiences and knowledge of human sexuality to inform their teaching. Sexological Bodywork is also different from sex therapy and sex coaching in that while you will be in constant communication with your Sexological Bodyworker, you will also be encouraged to allow the body to relax and settle. Think of a really great massage, and combine it with sexual education.
