This work asks you to share a lot of yourself. So, here are a few things about Ari.

Hey! I’m Ari.
I’m a Somatic Sex Coach and part of the admin team here at Pleasure Centred Sexology. I’m also a Registered Nurse currently working in day surgery, with experience in oncology and urology. My passion for connecting with and supporting others has driven me to seek out new ways to contribute to our collective wellbeing and so this journey has led me to explore the transformative field of Somatic Sex Coaching.

What is Somatic Sex Coaching?
Somatic sex coaching is a holistic approach to sexual support that recognises the importance of the mind-body connection and works to include the body in all its wholeness alongside practical tools and accurate and inclusive sexual education.

Rather than just talking about what you think, somatic sex coaching recognises that change comes from doing and practicing over time. It considers not just your thoughts but also the information and cues from your body to build more embodied awareness, choice and lessen the likelihood you’ll override your own embodied consent. The mix of practices, tools and education allows for a deeper understanding, more choice and empowerment in your sex life and relationships, as well as developing a greater capacity for pleasure and curiosity.

How I work

Your comfort, wellbeing and autonomy are my top priorities. I am committed to creating a safe space where I can support you along the journey of getting curious about what you are experiencing, what you want to be experiencing, and together co-creating a plan on how to get there by shifting habits from within.

More about me

I have a heart for animals and love for nature. I enjoy moving my body through weight training or swimming, capturing the world’s wonders through the lens of my camera and getting lost in the enchanting realms of fantasy novels. Above all, my most cherished moments are those shared with loved ones.
