Sexual Trauma

Hi, I’m Samara.

A woman with curly hair and blue eyes smiling, holding her chest with both hands, wearing a patterned green jacket over a brown top, standing outdoors with a blurred green background.

One of my greatest joys and privileges is witnessing hearts, bodies, and relationships bloom before my eyes. I delight in curiosity, creativity and play, while drawing from Sexological Bodywork, Somatic Experiencing, Authentic Relating and Intimacy Education within my sessions.

Over the last decade, I traveled to more than 30 countries, blew up my marriage, healed from an “incurable” disease, became a dog mom, started two businesses and threw away my vibrator.

I’ve loved courageously and opened myself to nearly every relationship style. I’ve immersed myself in sexual arts and wellness trainings, worked with coaches and therapists, and soul-searched my way through the plant kingdom.

All of this has expanded my awareness of mind, body, relationship, and orgasm. And still, I remain a humble student on the path.

A student with an ever-evolving thesis that opening one’s heart is at the center of it all.

A Testimonial Taster
