Welcome — I’m glad you’re here

I’ve created this space to support people in reconnecting with their bodies, pleasures, and desires — parts of ourselves that are so often hidden, shamed, or pushed aside in Western culture.

Whether you’re looking to explore your sensuality, heal from shame, or simply get more in touch with your body, you’re welcome here.

My work is rooted in consent, embodiment, and unapologetic pleasure. This is a space where your whole self — body, mind, emotions, and desires — can be seen, heard, and honoured.

A bit about my background and qualifications

I’m a qualified sexological bodyworker and intimacy coach, trained at the Sea School of Embodiment and the Institute for Relational Harmony Studies. I also draw from other practices I’ve trained in over the years — including sound healing, massage therapy, Orgasmic Meditation, and neo-tantra.

Academically, I have a PhD in Psycho-social studies at Birkbeck, University of London. My research focused on shame — its psycho-social and political dimensions, and how it limits how ability to fully inhabit our bodies and experience pleasure. I also hold MAs in Philosophy (University of California, Riverside) and Psycho-social studies (Birkbeck).

In my work, I bring together the academic, the somatic, and the energetic to help you come home to your body, gently softening the defences that might be keeping you from pleasure, presence, or connection.

Politics, embodiment, liberation

This work isn’t just about personal healing — it’s political. It’s pleasure activism. It’s cultural resistance.

The shame so many of us carry around our bodies and desires didn’t arise in a vacuum. It’s been shaped by centuries of systems designed to control and dominate — religious morality, colonial ideas of humanity, and the need to regulate bodies, especially those seen as unruly or deviant.

In Western culture, bodies and pleasure are often hidden, judged, or shamed. But that shame isn’t just personal, it’s systemic. To reclaim our pleasure is to challenge the values that taught us to fear it. It’s a way of taking back our bodies — and our freedom.

Healing that shame is an act of resistance. It’s about reclaiming our bodies as sites of knowing, of pleasure, of freedom.

As part of this, I am also a passionate naturist activist — I even made a short appearance on Channel 4’s Naked Education — and occasionally work as life model. Naturism, for me, is about allowing the body to simply be, without shame.

My story: from prison to pleasure

Earlier in life, I worked in finance. Many years later, I was made a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis, and wrongfully imprisoned. My criminal conviction was eventually challenged as unjust by the Criminal Cases Review Commission and finally overturned by the Supreme Court. My story is told in BBC journalist Andy Verity’s book Rigged: The Incredible True Story of the Whistleblowers Jailed After Exposing the Rotten Heart of the Financial System.

My time in England’s Victorian prisons shaped me deeply. I lived under constant surveillance, deprived even of the right to touch myself in peace, and in a profoundly sex-negative environment.

It brought me back to something many of us learn growing up — that our sexuality must be secret, quick, hidden in shame. Prison made me feel that all over again.

Coming out of that, I understood more deeply how radical — and necessary — it is to reclaim slow, conscious, shameless pleasure. That realisation brought me to this work.

Ready to reconnect with your body?

If you’re curious about what your body might want to feel, or you’re ready to untangle yourself from shame and explore your desires more deeply, I’d love to work with you.

Let’s create a space for your body to speak — and really be listened to.
