Resources

The world of somatics is so rich. This is a bite size piece of the wealth of info out there related to sexuality and the general healing we all deserve.

I have included the resources that have been most helpful to both me and the clients I have had the privilege to serve. These are the resources I can vouch for with personal experience.

This is a living page and will be updated as I read, listen and get exposed to new ideas and feelings. Please feel free to email me at hello@healwithpleasure.com with your additions or questions.
