I'm Ami, Somatic Intimacy Coach and Bodyworker in Melbourne
I'm a somatic intimacy coach, tantric bodyworker and pelvic floor therapist based in Melbourne.
I work with individuals and couples who want to go deeper in their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and each other. My work sits at the intersection of body, sexuality and nervous system. It is practical, hands-on, and real.
My story
For most of my twenties I was asleep. To feel anything at all, it needed to be intense.
I had trained as a massage therapist when I was 19, but I got scared and walked away from it. I went back to the safe road and spent ten years as a chemical engineer instead.
Then my body had enough. I had been clinging to work in an unhealthy way, with no real concept of what my boundaries even were, and I crashed into a proper burnout. That crash was also the thing that woke me up.
What changed everything was somatic trauma work which started with working with my inner child. I started uncovering buried memories and traumas, learning how to actually feel them and process them. I learned that I was strong enough to hold myself through it, and the healing of allowing someone to hold me through some of it. That process started a chain reaction. Meditation, tantra, reconnecting with touch and sexuality. And then, finally, going back to study bodywork properly. Everything I had been missing in my massage training I found this time: how to work with energy, how to follow what the body is holding, how to support someone through deep healing.
I don't ever want another burnout. But I'm grateful for it. It gave me everything I needed to do this work.
Why I do this work
There was so much I didn't know about my own body, my right to express myself, and even what my own boundaries were when I was growing up. I don't believe I'm alone in that.
I'm passionate about sharing honest, up-to-date sexual knowledge and giving a safe space for whatever you are carrying. I want to be part of ending the shame that surrounds sexuality and instead help people see the beauty in it.
I want the misinformation about sex, sexuality, intimacy, pleasure, body connection and emotional expression to end with our generation.
My life has changed completely, and I want to help you change yours.
Training and background
Before this work I spent ten years as a chemical engineer, which gave me a structural understanding of the body that still informs how I work. I have also taught dance on and off since 2004.
Core training Somatica Institute, Tantric Journey, Pelvic floor Bodywork and Chi Nei Tsang, School of Consent (ongoing)
Festival teaching Sense Fest 2023, AssFest 2024 and 2025, teaching consent and erotic touch
Ami holds space and is extremely intuitive and connected... I found myself on a journey that has changed my life. I can honestly say it's the best kind of therapy I've experienced thus far. I feel so much more self-aware and able to feel rather than think my way through things.
