Would you like to expand your capacity for pleasure, deepen connections with your lover … and find freedom in your body?
Sonia Waters, an emobodiment therapist and somatic sexologist (yes, just like the Netflix series Sex, Love and Goop!). I coach individuals and couples in intimacy, relating, communication, anatomy, touch and somatic experiencing. People who work with me resolve trauma and other issues that hold them back. They deepen their pleasure and expand their relationships. This is a pioneering field in New Zealand, one that is growing fast and is well explained by the Somatic Sexological Educators Association Australasia of which I am the highest qualified certified practitioner in New Zealand. I work with men, women, people of all gender and all sexual orientation.
All bodywork is carried out under the SSEAA code of ethics which, in brief, is: touch is one way, I am fully clothed, you can be as clothed or unclothed as you wish, I do not enter intimate relationships with clients.
If you are curious, intrigued or have questions, book a free 15min zoom call with me, Sonia, to see how this work might benefit you.
How many sessions will you need? To make a positive start to change you will need a minimum of three sessions. If you are in for the longer journey then lets talk about payment plans and options. Please note one off sessions are no longer available.
Once we have met and you are committed to this wonderful change, book your bodywork here. Three or five session options are available. All are for one on one sessions, 60 minutes by Zoom or 90 minutes in person, Wanaka, New Zealand.
What is a bodywork session with Sonia like?
We begin with landing together through a few slow breaths. It is amazing how this brings us into the present moment and into the conversation of what work wants to unfold. Often the client comes with an intention for the work they want to do, sometimes they don’t know and the conversation reveals itself.
I will suggest a few ideas on possible work and you as client choose what we do. The key to the work is, everything is client led. I am the guide, bringing ideas and suggestions. Everything we do is with the client’s felt sense of “yes”. For many people learning to feel and to express “yes” and “no” is the first work we do. Being in our agency is key to life and this work.
We then do the agreed work. All the while you will be directed to notice sensations in your body. Emotions will rise and you will learn to notice and allow those. Where regulation of emotion is wanted we can work with that too. You will be in your full permission to process what wants to be felt; pleasure, tears, quiet, gentle, ecstacy. Anything is possible when we are in our agency.
When the work is complete we close the session with talking about the experience and finding nuggets of gold, useful pieces you learned and setting a programme for your ongoing practice.
Somatic sexologists offer experiential learning opportunities that consciously access profound ecstatic and erotic states. Our teaching involves a variety of instructive modalities, including boundary setting, breathwork, touch, sensate focus, erotic massage, pelvic release bodywork, scar tissue remediation, and movement coaching.
Common reasons people work with me:
Desire for improved orgasmicity
Relief from pelvic pain
Couples wanting to enhance their intimate pleasure
Learning to give and receive pleasure
Improving sexual functioning and pleasure after childbirth, genital, pelvic or breast surgery
Accepting and loving one’s body, gender and sexuality
Premature ejaculation, erectile difficulties

“Sexological Bodyworkers teach through body experiences designed to nurture, deepen or awaken the sensual self. We teach in ways that assist students in developing presence within the body, opening interior awareness, and learning how the body can feel more and more alive; this is embodiment.” Caffyn Jesse.
The first step can be the trickiest…
breathe into it, feel it, notice what is inside…
then gently step forward into the rest of your life.
What is the next step?
Book your free 15 minute Zoom consultation for us to meet.
Bodywork sessions are online by Zoom (60 minutes) or in person (90 minutes) in Wanaka, New Zealand.
Transformation comes through practice and the slow dance of embodiment. The minimum booking is for three sessions (note the one-off sessions are no longer available), and often people find five really useful.
If you want a longer journey, let’s talk about payment plans and options that work for both of us.
I do have accommodation here at our property by the lagoon so if you are interested in staying and doing an intensive retreat, then let’s talk; this is an enormously effective way to work.
