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.

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.

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

Why somatic work transforms what talk therapy can't

Your body remembers what your mind has tried to forget.

Shame, trauma, and cultural conditioning don't just live in your thoughts — they're stored in your muscles, your breath, your nervous system. You can understand intellectually that pleasure is natural, but if your body still tenses at touch or rushes through sensation, the shame is still there.

The body holds the truth. When you slow down and listen to sensation, when you practice receiving touch without performing, when you breathe into discomfort instead of avoiding it — you're rewiring your nervous system. You're teaching your body that pleasure is safe, that your desires matter, that you deserve to take up space.

Sexological bodywork and embodied practices work because they meet you where the shame actually lives: in your flesh, in your breath, in the way you've learned to hold or hide your body.

This isn't theory. It's felt experience. And felt experience changes us in ways that thinking never can.

My story: from prison to pleasure

Earlier in life, I worked in finance. When I chose to leave the banking world to focus on the bodily liberation I was truly passionate about, Barclays Bank chose me as a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. The British government threw me in prison. I was handed a 4-year sentence.

My criminal conviction was eventually challenged as unjust by the Criminal Cases Review Commission and 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, and in the BBC podcast series The Lowball Tapes.

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, in a profoundly sex-negative environment. Yet the experience of state violence only reinforced my commitment to fight for a much more meaningful freedom than the one we are normally granted — to challenge the prison of our everyday lives.

In particular, prison 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.
