SOMATIC INTIMACY & RELATIONSHIP coaching FOR COUPLES. 

PleasureFWRD offers private somatic intimacy & relationship coaching for couples who love each other, but feel disconnected, stuck, or out of sync- emotionally, erotically, or both.  
This is not couples therapy. This is structured, body-based, consent-led relational work designed to help you rebuild safety, desire, communication, and intimacy that feels safe-without shame, blame, pressure, or performance.

The application is a conversation- not a commitment.

Pleasurefwrd is for couples who:

  • Want the relationship, but feel distant, tense, or stuck
  • Get caught in cycles of escalation, shutdown, or avoidance
  • Struggle to stay present during difficult conversations
  • Want intimacy and desire to feel natural again — not forced
  • Are high-functioning in life, but struggling privately in their relationship
    If you recognize yourselves here, you’re in the right place.

What is a Somatic Couples Coach? Unlike talk-based couples therapy, somatic intimacy coaching works directly with the nervous system, body awareness, and relational patterns that shape how you connect.

This work offers a different way in.

Rather than focusing on who’s right or wrong, we slow things down and work with what’s happening in the body during conflict, distance, and repair.

0.1

Sessions are paced and structured to support nervous system regulation, so difficult moments don’t spiral or overwhelm the relationship.

0.2

This is relational work- not performance. Sessions focus on slowing conflict, increasing emotional safety, and helping both partners stay present without escalation or shutdown. This work is designed to rebuild trust through lived experience.

Couples arrive in different places. The containers below offer different levels of support depending on what you’re navigating right now.

Most couples begin with Couples Reset.

Couples Containers

Couple reconnecting through somatic intimacy and relationship coaching.

Couples RESET (single session)

  • This session is designed to stabilize the relationship when things feel tense, confusing, or fragile—and to create enough safety and clarity to determine next steps without pressure.

    Rather than diving into history or assigning blame, shame, or guilt, we focus on what’s happening right now between you—slowing reactive patterns, increasing nervous system regulation, and helping both partners stay present during difficult moments.

    This is a contained, facilitated experience that often brings immediate relief by helping couples:

    • interrupt escalation and shutdown

    • feel safer staying in conversation

    • understand each other’s nervous system responses

    • experience connection without forcing resolution

    Many couples use this session as a reset point—to reconnect, recalibrate, and decide together whether continued work feels supportive.

    This session does not require an ongoing commitment.

foundations for safer connection

  • This container is designed for couples who have experienced some relief or clarity—and want to strengthen the skills that make connection feel safer and more sustainable over time.

    Rather than addressing issues one-by-one, this work focuses on building shared relational foundations: how you communicate under stress, how repair happens after rupture, and how each nervous system responds during intimacy, conflict, and closeness.

    Sessions are structured and paced to support:

    • staying present during difficult conversations

    • reducing cycles of escalation and withdrawal

    • increasing emotional safety and mutual understanding

    • allowing intimacy and desire to return without pressure

    This container offers enough continuity to practice new ways of relating—without overwhelming the relationship or requiring long-term commitment upfront.

    Many couples choose this after a Couples Reset to move from short-term relief into steadier, lived change.

    Ideal for couples who want more than a reset—but aren’t looking for long-term coaching.

  • Three sessions total:

    • Two individual sessions (1 hour each)

    • One couple’s session (2 Hours)

  • $760

    Sessions are scheduled over a short window and paced intentionally.

COUPLES integration SERIES

  • The Couples Integration Series is designed for couples who have gained clarity, steadiness, or relief—and want ongoing support to apply what they’re learning as real situations arise.

    Rather than focusing on crisis or intensity, this series supports consistency: staying connected through everyday stress, navigating recurring challenges with more ease, and continuing to build relational capacity without rushing or pressure.

    Sessions provide a steady rhythm to:

    • integrate new communication and repair skills

    • work with patterns as they naturally show up

    • deepen trust and emotional safety over time

    • support intimacy and desire in a grounded, sustainable way

    This series is paced, intentional, and responsive to where you are—allowing change to happen through practice, not urgency.

    Many couples choose this after Foundations for Safer Connection when they want continuity and support without moving into an intensive format.

    Designed for couples who want steady support—not a quick fix.

  • Six 2-hr private sessions - over 3 months

  • $2400

Somatic intimacy coaching to overcome emotional shutdown, resentment, avoidance/ people-pleasing, and desire mismatch.

intensive relational immersion

  • The Deep Relational Immersion is a dedicated, extended experience for couples who want space to slow down and work with their relationship at depth — including the places where desire, closeness, and intimacy have become fragile, quiet, or complicated.

    This is not crisis work, and it is not about pushing emotional or sexual edges.
    It is a carefully paced immersion designed to support regulation, honesty, and reconnection — so intimacy can emerge from safety, not pressure.

FAQ:

  • A simple way to understand the difference:

    • Couples therapy helps you understand why patterns exist

    • Somatic couples coaching helps you experience something different

    Many couples already understand their issues intellectually —
    they just don’t know how to change what happens in their bodies during conflict, intimacy, or vulnerability.

    Somatic coaching helps couples:

    • Stay present during difficult conversations

    • Notice and interrupt shutdown, escalation, or avoidance

    • Rebuild safety and trust through felt experience

    • Restore intimacy without pressure or performance

  • Many couples come to this work because:

    • Desire has faded, or feels one-sided

    • Sex feels pressured, awkward, or avoided

    • Emotional disconnection has replaced closeness

    • Resentment, shutdown, or people-pleasing has taken over

    • You communicate, but don’t feel met

    • You want intimacy without blame, fixing, or forcing

    You may still love each other deeply —
    and feel lost about how to come back into connection.

    Somatic intimacy coaching helps you slow down, listen to the body, and rebuild trust and desire in a way that feels safe, organic, and sustainable.
