Sarah Adelaide
Berlin
I work with cis women and with all queer and trans people who want to feel more pleasure, confidence and safety in their bodies. I am experienced in working with survivors of sexualised violence and with disabled people.
Philosophy
My somatic practice draws on my experience in counselling and sexological bodywork and involves conversation with the possibility for touch. This work can be valuable for anyone who wants to cultivate greater aliveness and confidence in their body. The powerful immediacy of working with the body can teach us a lot about our patterns in all kinds of intimacies, not just sex.
For many people, it can feel useful to explore sexual touch outside of a partnered context, as it may feel as if there's less pressure to focus on someone else's needs. With the space to tune into the sensations in your body, you can truly move at your own pace, following pleasure as it emerges or being held and witnessed in more painful feelings.
Being able to direct touch in a controlled, predictable environment is a powerfully transformative experience for many survivors of sexualised violence and other boundary violations. Some people like to explore ritual and ecstatic states reached through erotic massage; other people want to savour the subtle sensations of breathwork and not receive any touch at all. All of these desires are welcome. I have experience working with the following issues:
- Sex after sexualised violence
- Wanting to expand capacity for sexual pleasure
- Pain during penetration
- Inability to orgasm
- Lack of arousal
- Scar tissue remediation
- Couples wanting to reconnect sexually
- Feeling pleasure after birth or surgery
- Erectile difficulties
- Premature ejaculation
- Wanting to explore kink / BDSM
- Connecting with a shifting sexuality through gender transition
For trans women and all people assigned female at birth, I offer an introductory rate of five 90 minute sessions for €250.
