Why Sensual Somatics, Erotic Embodiment, and Sacred Sexuality: For Mothers?
If you’re a mother yearning to reconnect with your sensual self, craving to break free from societal chains, and ready to reclaim your body, pleasure and desires, this is for you.
Hey loves, I wanted to let you in on why the mesmerising realms of Sensual Somatics, Erotic Embodiment, and Sacred Sexuality called me.
Picture this: I was a young woman, and teen mum, with sexual trauma in my past, entrapped by society's rigid beauty standards, feeling the need to sculpt myself into an image of perfection to be accepted.
My work as a stripper felt like a reclamation of my body in a way, and a ‘fuck you’ to society. It was my way of feeling alive, my body a conduit of power and allure. Yet, outside of those moments, I felt a void - an illusion of empowerment that evaporated by day. It was more fleeting embodiment than full embodiment.
Connecting to my womb was a true catalyst for change, and as a Mother to a daughter, I could no longer afford to be anything but myself. This led me to the paths of Sensual Somatics, Erotic Embodiment, and Sacred Sexuality, where movement and connecting to my body became sacred practices not just performance. These practices invited me to face off with my shadows, honour my desires, celebrate my body, and see my unique femininity as a sacred force, not something to change, or be ashamed of.
It changed the trajectory of my life to one that is now enriched with love, healing, pleasure, desire, presence and soulful experiences, where my shadows are medicine, and part of who I am, not something I try to hide. That is why today it is my mission to bring this wisdom to you. I believe that empowered, confident, and self-loving mothers can create a profound ripple effect, not only in their own lives but also in the lives of their children and communities.
What is Sensual Somatics?
Sensual Somatics is a culmination of trauma-informed embodiment practices, sensual dance, and breath work as medicine and personal inquiry into what activates expression of our sensuality in its most uninhibited, free-flowing form.
It is an exquisite dance of the senses, where your body becomes a prayer, and every movement an opportunity to transmute pain into pleasure. It's about sinking into the depths of your body, feeling every shiver and tingle, and expressing the raw, unfiltered sensuality that lies within. Through heightened body awareness, Sensual Somatics awakens the divine within, amplifying your sensory experiences and forging an intimate relationship with your physical and emotional being.
What is Erotic Embodiment?
Erotic Embodiment is the practice of unapologetically reclaiming, celebrating, being present with, and embodying your erotic essence. Your erotic essence is the primal, natural, passionate, and creative intelligence that pulsates through you. Eroticism includes sexual arousal and expands beyond, to include the fullness of your presence, life force, vitality and joy. It's about diving into your deepest desires, embracing your sexuality, and letting all forms of pleasure flow through you like a river of liquid fire. This journey invites you to explore your body, honour your longings, and express yourself in ways that feel authentic to you - sensual, empowered, and magnetic.
What is Sacred Sexuality?
Sacred Sexuality is the reverence of sexuality as a sacred, life-affirming force that connects us to our true selves, our lovers, and the divine. It's about seeing your sexual energy as a powerful, mystical force that deserves to be cherished, and celebrated. Sacred Sexuality invites you to honour your body, embrace your desires, and explore sexual practices that are not only physically gratifying but spiritually enriching and soul activating.
Why I Weave Them Together in My Work FOR MOTHERS
Motherhood is a beautiful, expansive journey of transformation, but it often comes with its own set of challenges. We can feel disconnected from our bodies, overwhelmed by the demands of parenting, and starved of self-care.
By weaving these practices together, I have created a holistic, intoxicating approach with a unique methodology that nurtures the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual facets of motherhood.
I understand the challenges Mothers face and the societal pressures that often disconnect you from your sensual and erotic self. Sensual Somatics, Erotic Embodiment, and Sacred Sexuality offer delicious pathways back HOME to YOU, allowing you to:
Reclaim Your Body: As a busy Mama, it’s easy to become disconnected from your body. Sensual Somatics brings you back in, helps you celebrate your physical self, reveling in your body's wisdom, beauty and strength.
Enhance Intimacy: Reconnecting with your sensual and erotic energy can ignite passion, and deepen intimacy and pleasure with yourself and in your relationships.
Boost Confidence: Embracing your sensuality and eroticism builds self-confidence, empowering you to be unapologetically yourself.
Cultivate Joy and Pleasure: In motherhood finding pockets of time for yourself is essential. These practices remind you that pleasure is your birthright.
Start today
Here are some small steps you can take today to start your journey:
1. Mindful Movement: Spend a few minutes each day moving your body in a way that feels delicious. Dance, stretch, or sway to music that ignites your soul.
2. Breathwork: Practice deep breathing into your womb space to connect with your body. Inhale deeply through your nose, down deep into your womb, and exhale slowly giving yourself permission to make sound, letting go of tension and inviting pleasure.
3. Self-Exploration: Spend some quiet time exploring your body. Touch your skin, send love through your hands, savour the sensations, and notice how your body responds to your loving attention.
4. Affirmations: Whisper sweet affirmations to yourself, and/or place them on your mirror to see them daily. Remind yourself of your beauty, strength, resilience, femininity and sensuality.
