About
Somatic Sexologist
I am Colin, a somatic sexologist bodyworker practitioner, advanced yoga teacher, and masculine embodiment guide. With formal training through the Institute of Somatic Sexology, over ten years dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga, and ten Vipassana meditation retreats, I bring a deeply disciplined capacity for stillness and physical awareness to this space.
Having personally navigated thirty-eight years of hormone replacement therapy, I possess a profound, first-hand understanding of how deeply hormonal and chemical shifts shape our lives, alter our capacity for pleasure, and impact our identity, allowing me to relate easily and authentically with my clients.
My work is anchored entirely in the raw sensations of the body, the nervous system, authentic emotions, and the embodiment movement. Together, we use simple, grounded tools and an understanding of how the nervous system reacts to unwanted chatter, how to quiet the mind, map out your inner landscape, and restore your sovereign inner voice. You cannot get any more connected than with the body you live in, and by listening closely to those subtle physical sensations, I guide you to reclaim your confidence, pleasure, and absolute self-trust in the present moment.
Please note: My practice is purely somatic and body-based.
I do not offer clinical trauma work, diagnose medical or psychological symptoms, or provide Medicare-rebated therapy.

Testimonials
MB
"After three sessions, I finally feel like I'm finding my voice again after years of suppressing my needs within my marriage.
I was nervous before my first session, but the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. The space felt safe and calming, and the grounding exercises helped me relax almost immediately.
What stood out most was how present and gentle the sessions were. I never felt pushed or judged. Instead, I felt supported to explore my thoughts, emotions, and the patterns that had been keeping me silent.
For the first time in years, I feel more connected to myself, more confident expressing my needs, and more comfortable taking up space in my relationship."

"I discovered these sessions through social media and was curious, but I was also a little nervous about working with another man.
I had spent most of my life feeling disconnected from my body and realised that much of my attention was focused on my sexual energy rather than on experiencing my body as a whole.
What surprised me most was how relaxed I felt during the session. The environment was calming, and I immediately felt safe and comfortable. Everything moved at my pace, and I never felt any pressure.
The experience was so positive that I invited my partner to join me for the next session so she could be part of the process. I would highly recommend this work to anyone wanting to feel more connected to themselves and their relationships."
