Book Your Consult

I support people living with health conditions, chronic illness and injury to reclaim their sexual health, function, expression and connection with their body.

I proudly welcome and celebrate people of all genders, sexualities, cultures, backgrounds, abilities, and relationship dynamics.

I'm a qualified Occupational Therapist and Somatic Sexologist based on the Sunshine Coast, QLD, working with individuals and couples across Australia and internationally. Sexual health and pelvic pain can touch every part of life, your body, your emotions, your relationships, your sense of self. My dual qualifications enable me to support you across all dimensions of your experience: physical, emotional, psychological, and relational.

I work collaboratively with GPs, Gynaecologists, Physiotherapists, and other members of your care team.

  • What is Occupational Therapy?

    Occupational Therapists are allied health practitioners trained to help people engage in the activities that matter most to them. We call these occupations and they include everything from making a meal to maintaining intimate relationships with ourselves and others.

    When it comes to sexual health, this means working with you to navigate the physical, emotional, and relational challenges that chronic illness, pelvic pain, or complex health conditions can create. We're problem solvers. We look at what's getting in the way and find creative, practical solutions.

    What does that look like in practice?

    — Managing sexual changes after a diagnosis: We might work through fatigue, pain, body image shifts, changes in desire or arousal, and how to communicate all of that with a partner.

    — Pelvic pain and intimacy: Together we explore what's driving the pain response, build body awareness, reduce fear and avoidance, and find ways back to comfortable, connected intimacy.

    — Dissociation and sexual health: For people who feel disconnected from their body during intimacy, (whether from trauma, chronic illness, or pain) somatic approaches can help rebuild that felt sense of safety and presence in your own body.

    — Chronic illness and desire: We work on strategies to navigate fatigue, understand your desire pathways, pain flares, and the emotional weight of a diagnosis, finding ways to reconnect with yourself and your partner/s on your terms.

  • Somatic Sexology is a therapeutic approach that integrates the connection between the body and mind to address and enhance sexual health and well-being. The term "somatic" relates to the body, emphasising the importance of bodily sensations, movements, and experiences as key elements in understanding and improving sexuality.

    Somatic Sexology recognises that sexual health, function and experiences are deeply interconnected with physical, emotional, and psychological factors.

    Applications of Somatic Sexology include:

    • Rebuilding the connection between body and mind: Particularly for individuals navigating trauma, chronic illness, or physical injury that has impacted their relationship with their body or sexual function.

    • Boundary and desire clarification: Assisting individuals in identifying and communicating their sexual boundaries, preferences, and needs.

    • Addressing sexual challenges: Supporting individuals experiencing difficulties such as low sexual desire, orgasm challenges, arousal concerns, or discomfort during intimacy through a body-centered approach.

    Somatic Sexology provides a safe, structured, and professional space for individuals to explore and address challenges related to their sexuality. The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to reconnect with their bodies, develop greater self-awareness, and cultivate sexual health and well-being in alignment with their personal values and needs.
