What if true connection starts with feeling safe enough to be yourself?
Sense Your Body offers a space to explore patterns, boundaries, intimacy and possibility through felt experience, inviting you to notice how each takes shape in your body..
EMBODIED PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Consent begins with space to notice what you feel, consider what you want and choose freely.
What would it feel like to be more connected to your body, clearer about what you want and more confident expressing it?
Somatic Consent is an approach I use to support that connection. We begin by noticing sensations, breath, emotions and impulses: a tightening, a sense of ease, an urge to move closer or a wish for more space.
These signals can help you explore your needs and boundaries. They offer information for you to consider as you choose what you want and communicate it.
Together, we slow things down enough to listen.
Consent becomes something you can feel.
For me, consent is much more than saying yes or no. It is about developing the ability to notice your yes, your no, your maybe, your not-yet and your I-don’t-know.
Together, we explore how to recognise these responses and put them into words. You remain the authority on your experience. I offer guidance, attention and space to practise listening to yourself and communicating with others.
This work may be meaningful if stress, past experiences or learned habits have made it difficult to distinguish what you want from what you feel or are expected to do.
Somatic Consent
Somatic Consent invites you to notice what you feel before choosing what to do.
You may notice a tightening in your chest, a change in your breath or an urge to move closer or pull away before you find the words. These responses offer something to explore. Their meaning is yours to discover, and no sensation needs to become an immediate answer.
Through body awareness, breath, movement, consensual touch, nervous system education and communication practices, we make time to notice these signals and consider what you want. You can practise asking for more, choosing less, expressing uncertainty or taking time to decide.
You are the authority on your own experience. Your yes matters. Your no matters. So do your maybe, your not yet and your I don’t know. Bodily responses can inform your choices; consent comes from what you freely agree to and communicate.
With practice, you may find more ease in setting boundaries, receiving touch and expressing your desires. We create room to listen to yourself and choose how you respond, with the freedom to change your mind.
The principles
Courage
Creating enough safety to explore what you feel, even when it is unfamiliar.
Embodiment
Coming out of the head and into the living experience of the body.
Consent & responsibility
Honour your boundaries and respect those of others. Every yes, no and maybe deserves to be heard.
Curiosity
There is nothing you have to get right. We explore, notice and learn from the exerience.
Connection
Get to know yourself more deeply, so you can connect with others with greater clarity, presence and honesty.

Who is this work for?
This work offers space to connect more closely with your body, emotions, boundaries and desires.
You might spend much of your time thinking things through and find it difficult to slow down or notice what you feel. Perhaps stress, past experiences or familiar habits affect your relationships and everyday choices. Or you may feel curious about parts of yourself you haven’t had room to explore.
Together, we can explore how you experience closeness, receive touch, express what you want and recognise your limits. There is time to notice your responses and practise making choices that feel right for you.
You don’t need a problem to solve or a clear goal to begin. An interest in getting to know yourself through your body is enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during a session?
A session can easily be 2 – 2,5 hours. You need time to to arrive, be present experience and intergrate.
Once you arrived we start an intake where i ask you questions to get to know more about your desires, boundaries, physical health, and past or present trauma to have a clean space to start the session from.
Do I need any previous experience ?
No. You don’t need any previous experience with. Sessions can be approached at your own pace, and we will establish what feels appropriate for you before and during the session.
Is this therapy?
This work is not presented as a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. It is a form of embodied personal development, combining conversation, body awareness, movement, rope and other practices according to what is appropriate for the session.
What if emotions or unexpected sensations arise?
The body can respond in ways we don’t always anticipate. There is space to notice what arises without needing to force, analyse or continue. You remain involved in deciding what happens next, and we can slow down, pause or stop whenever needed.
How do you approach consent and boundaries?
Consent is an ongoing part of the work, not something established only at the beginning. We talk about boundaries and expectations beforehand, and you can change your mind, pause or stop at any point.
Some things to know
These sessions allow time to arrive, settle in and explore at your own pace. Plan for 2 to 2.5 hours, with occasional flexibility to stay a little longer by mutual agreement.
We leave room to connect before the bodywork begins and to rest, reflect and bring the session to a close afterwards.
Sessions and pricing
I offer individual sessions and ongoing work. A single session can offer a meaningful experience. My preference is to work together over time, building the familiarity and trust that can support deeper exploration. Returning gives us space to notice patterns, revisit what matters to you and learn from how each experience unfolds.
Somatic consent session: €250
Approximately 2.5 hours.
The fee includes our initial conversation and intake, preparation of the space, the session itself, and time afterwards to reflect on the experience and settle before leaving.
We can begin with a conversation. There is no commitment required. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, talk about what you’re looking for and see whether working together feels right for you
