This 3-Day professional development intensive is an introduction to integrative approach of somatic sexology informed by evidence-based liberation-centered sexological research, the science of neuroplasticity, and embodied intelligence-- a decolonial approach to integrative somatic healing. Through guided somatic practices, reflection, and dialogue, helping and somatic professionals, in addition to, spiritual entrepreneurs will gain tools to decolonize sexuality education, integrate spirituality as a source of meaning, and restore the mind-body-spirit connection essential to sexual well-being.

Large-scale surveys indicate that while nearly 99% of clients in certain clinical settings harbor sexual concerns, as few as 9% of healthcare providers routinely initiate discussions regarding sexual health. 

This experiential intensive & SAR introduces Erospirituality-an integrative, decolonial approach to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) that bridges sexuality, spirituality, and somatics for embodied liberation. Grounded in erotic intelligence, integrative somatic healing, decolonial spirituality, this framework reimagines CSE as a practice of wholeness, centering pleasure, resilience, and embodied awareness to expand one's capacity to activate one's erotic power.

Learn how to safely and ethnically bring about sexuality and somatics in your practices with this 3-Day professional learning intensive and SAR. This AASECT-approved SAR addresses a critical need in the current healing and healthcare landscape: to expand affirming understanding and integrative somatic strategies that affirms sexuality and gender within your practices while supporting your emotional and mental capacity for sustainable positive impact on mental health support and outcomes of both clients and providers.

As a therapist, coach, somatic professional, and/or spiritual entrepreneurs, who’s measuring stick you are using when you holding space for your clients?

If you are seeking AASECT Certification, this training meets the AASECT's standards for a SExual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) seminar.

Liberation-centered relationship and practices are about seeing yourself and your client as a whole person.

This intensive explores how using Erotic Intelligence will heal the Spirituality, Sexuality,
and Intuitive Mind–Body Relationship with full day of the signature Healing the Erotic Self Integration Session blending guided somatic and erosomatic care practices.

Being a liberation-centered practitioner means you are willing to learn and apply how wholeness shows up in your personal and professional care.

Wholeness is a state of being AND an embodiment practice.

Your clients can't heal what you're still ashamed of.

I'll say it louder for the helping professionals in the back.

Folks train for years in trauma-informed care, but are scared of Sexuality & Somatics.

Clinicians, coaches, spiritual folk,and educators LOVE discussing love and relationships...

But nobody in your MSW, M.Ed., or coaching program helped you talk about or heal YOUR erotic self, let alone your clients.

It was assumed you were doing your part. 

Nobody asked if you'd done your own sexual shadow work before sitting with clients navigating sexual trauma, sexual pleasure, sexual shame, or sexual liberation.

Avoidance is what got us here-collectively.

Being liberation-centered means...

We don't get to skip that.

You don't get to skip that part.

I've spent 22+ years as a clinical somatic sexologist watching brilliant, committed practitioners hit a ceiling — not because they lack skill, but because they were disconnected from their erotic wholeness and did not know how to execute the professional use of the self.

This CE opportunity goes beyond traditional self-care models to focus on "embodied intelligence" – the integration of emotional, somatic, and erotic intelligence.
