"I found myself getting very anxious during sex and within my own head. Alice has been invaluable -she has so much knowledge about so many aspects of sex & relationships, and it helps that she's so kind, patient and funny too!
Her program helped me get back into my body and feel less anxious in my relationship. It had the potential to turn into a big issue, but it's now very manageable.

- A, Mini Program
I had the best orgasm of my life after my sessions. Alice is absolutely brilliant at what she does. 10/10 would recommend.
​
Her sessions are informative, fun and have helped me to improve my experiences, both alone and with partners.
She has the perfect energy to help you to feel relaxed and able to discuss anything with her. I really can't recommend her enough!
​
- Alex, Mini Program
Alice is an absolute delight to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and has made me feel very relaxed talking about sex & intimacy.
She has a wonderful way of teaching that great sex is not about getting to some pre-set goal.
Fantastic experience for anyone who wants more intimacy, joy, and sexual pleasure in their life.
- K, Sex & intimacy Program
After decades of almost non-existent sex, Alice has been a safe and wise place for me to process my experiences and learn new things as I rediscover my sexuality.
This journey has been richer and more empowering through her expert guidance and empathetic understanding.

What is a Somatic Sexologist?A Sexologist is somebody who has studied the science of sex; learning the anatomy, physiology, psychology, and cultural influences around sex, arousal, desire and pleasure. Somatics is any practice that develops and strengthens the mind-body connection. Somatic practices teach you how to mindfully scan and listen to your body. Somatic Sexology takes somatic practices and adapts them to teach people how to have better sex. As a Somatic Sexologist, I help people get out of their head, and into their bodies. A full list of my qualifications can be seen on my homepage.

Who do you work with?I offer an inclusive and judgment-free educational space for people of all genders, sexuality and identity. My work is LBGTQIA+ inclusive, and welcome people of all relationship structures, stages, and expressions. My coaching and counselling sessions and couples programs are always personalised to the unique person or people I am working with. My events are always tailored for a specific audience. The content and tone that would be suitable for a corporate consent seminar would be very different from an intimate hens party for example. My online course Pillow Play has been designed for couples wanting to improve their sexual skills and bring more connection, fun, novelty and chemistry into the bedroom. No matter what you're looking for, get in touch and we can curate the perfect experience.

Why do we need more sex education?Sexual wellness (including pleasure) is a human right, as defined by the World Health Organisation. When we have a healthy, happy sex life, it has been proven that our mental heath and physical health improves, along with our relationships. In addition, a consent aware, shame-free society that receives comprehensive sex education is also less likely to suffer from high rates of sexual violence, assault and abuse. It's time we saw sex and pleasure as a natural, normal, and healthy part of life. The sex education we received at school is not enough. Many adults know next to nothing about basic sex-ed, including pleasure anatomy, sexual communication, how to express consent, understanding arousal, orgasm and desire, navigating libido changes, and how to listen to their own bodies. This impacts our relationships and people don't know where to go for help. In addition, we still live in a conservative society where sexual shame is pervasive, and where many of us are still too embarrassed, fearful, or ashamed to talk about sex. In order to have a great sex life, we need to learn how to listen to our bodies, discover what we like, how to ask for it, and how to confidently give and receive pleasure. Sex coaching, sex counselling, sex therapy, couples counselling, relationship counselling, sex courses and sex-education workshops give people a safe, expert-led, and judgement-free space to explore and learn everything they need to achieve better sexual wellness.

I already have great sex - what else could you teach me?Fantastic! It's great to hear you have a fulfilled sex life. The great news is, when it comes to sex and pleasure, there is always more to discover. And the more curious and open minded you are, the more opportunities for pleasure you will find. Whether that's learning how to explore a particular erotic fantasy, giving yourself stronger (or multiple) orgasms, learning more about your pleasure anatomy, or wanting to know where to find the best sex toys on the market, talking to an expert in a judgement-free environment might lead to more discoveries than you expected.
