Trauma-informed, body-based Sexology, Sex Coaching and Somatic sex therapy in Dublin and online worldwide.

Sexual wellbeing is not a luxury. It is a fundamental part of how we inhabit ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we experience being alive. When it's constrained by shame, silence, pain, or unresolved experience, it shapes everything. Our confidence, our relationships, our sense of ease and home in our own bodies.

I offer somatic sexology, sexological bodywork, and sex and intimacy coaching sessions in Monkstown / Dún Laogharie, Dublin, and virtually worldwide, supporting individuals and couples in reconnecting with their sexuality, intimacy, and erotic wellbeing with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique story.

This is not clinical, prescriptive, or performance-focused work. It is slow, collaborative, and genuinely responsive to you.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

  • Henry F., Sexology Client -

    “Sex has never been an easy one, but Makia instantly made me feel so comfortable and safe. The sessions felt more like a causual conversation than a therapy session. She gave me tools to use at home and a safe place to share my desires and fears. A very rare thing as a man. My relationship to my erotic self is still a very complicated one, but with Makia’s support is becoming more joyful and natural. Thanks a million!"

  • Maura J., Sexology Client -

    “There is not one thing you couldn’t ask Makia about your yoni, your sexuality and the many of ways you can experience pleasure. She is right there with you, ready to answer and she is the embodiment of what she teaches.”

  • Sínead M., Sexology Client -

    “I had a incredible session with Makia. I love that she is giving it as a form of therapy, a source of closeness and human connection that has been forgotten in our society. We’ve forgotten that connection is a real need of people. I hope to come back for more.”

  • Maeve K., Sexology Client -

    “Makia always makes me feel welcome and at ease. She has such a natural and down to earth way about her when it comes to discussing anything from body parts to sexuality. There’s not one single moment that I felt awkward during my sessions.”

  • Sínead B., Sexology Client -

    “I’ve been working with Makia for years now. She incorporates a variety of different modalities based on what my body needs. She listens so carefully, uses her intuition & years of knowledge to create a unique experience in each session I’ve had. Since we been working together for a few years now, she really knows exactly what my body needs. I wish I had learned earlier in life just how important self-care is. So I definitely keep up my massages with Makia on a regular basis. She is not just a great massage therapist, but a healing presence.”

  • Anonymous., Sexology Client -

    “I’ve noticed that the breath work and softening in the pelvic area has been especially helpful, even small moments of awareness make a big difference. I’ve also revisited the castor oil work and some of the sensation-mapping you suggested, and it’s interesting how much more I can notice in my body now compared to earlier in the year.”

  • T.M., Sexology Client -

    “I’m fascinated by how much I enjoy these sessions. I feel a great relief to be able to unburden myself. You are such a joy to talk to. My basic takeaway was how liberating it was to talk openly about how poor I’ve been for so long.”

  • M.M., Sexology Client -

    “Thank you for all these session. Your skill and calming presence made it a truly superb experience, and I’m already looking forward to our next appointment! I am really grateful to you for all the work that you have done so far.”

  • Yulia., Sexology Client -

    “Working with Makia has been life-changing. For the first time, I feel like my body is a place I can come home to. The blend of somatic work, gentle erotic education, and compassionate holding helped me release years of shame and finally reconnect with my pleasure.”

  • C.C., Sexology Client -

    “Makia has a gift for making conversations about tender, taboo, and sexual things feel effortlessly natural and empowering. In the year we’ve been working together I feel more at home in who I am as man, sexual being and neurodivergent human. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to experience deeper embodiment, pleasure, and healing.”

  • Jamina S., Sexology Client -

    “I booked a session hoping for a little guidance, but what I received was profound. Makia weaves science, sensuality, and somatic wisdom with such skill. My pelvic pain has decreased, my libido has returned, and I feel like a fuller, more vibrant version of myself.”

MY APPROACH

Playful. Curious. Deeply Respectful.

My approach is playful, curious, and deeply respectful. These sessions are not clinical, prescriptive, or performance-focused. We work slowly, building rapport and trust together. You won't be lectured. Instead, sessions feel natural, conversational, collaborative, and responsive to your unique desires, stories, boundaries, identities, and intentions.

Together, we create a space where your erotic self can unfold safely and organically, at your own pace. This work honours consent, nervous system regulation, and personal agency. While recognising that our sexuality is shaped not only by pleasure, but by our culture, relationships, trauma histories, and lived experiences.

Sessions draw on my education in Somatic Sexology, Sexological Bodywork, Somatic Sex and Intimacy Coaching, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Trauma-informed Coaching, Gottman Method principles, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Holistic Sex Education.

Sessions are inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, monogamy, open relationships, kink, polyamory, and non-traditional dynamics warmly welcomed. As a queer woman myself, all services are LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Somatic Sexology in Dublin

Somatic sexology brings together sexological education, somatic awareness, and body-based practices to support your relationship with pleasure, desire, sensation, and erotic identity. Sessions work at the level of the nervous system, slowly, attentively, and with deep respect for your history, your boundaries, and your pace.

This is sexology for people who want to understand themselves more fully. Not to fix something broken, but to reconnect with what has been silent, held, or set aside. Sessions are available in person in Dún Laogharie, Dublin, and online worldwide.

Sexological Bodywork & Somatic Sex Therapy

Sexological bodywork integrates touch, breath, movement, and embodied awareness practices to support deeper connection to pleasure, sensation, consent, and erotic aliveness. It is educational and somatic in nature, not erotic massage, not adult entertainment, and not sex work.

Sessions are grounded in trauma-informed principles: consent, pacing, nervous system capacity, and your right to direct the work entirely. This is a space where the body's intelligence is welcomed and followed, not overridden.

Many clients come to sexological bodywork after years of talk therapy, having understood their patterns intellectually but still seeking a shift that reaches the body. This is precisely the territory this work is built for.

Sex & Intimacy Coaching in Dublin and Online

Sex and intimacy coaching offers a personalised, client-centred space to explore the relational and psychological dimensions of your sexual and intimate life. Sessions support desire discrepancies, communication challenges, intimacy struggles, sexual shame, relational transitions, and the gradual reclamation of erotic confidence and pleasure.

Coaching sessions are conversational, collaborative, and free of judgement. They are available in person in Dublin and virtually worldwide, making this work accessible regardless of where you're based or how much time you have.

Kink-Aware & Conscious Intimacy Coaching

Not every practitioner in Dublin is equipped to hold conversations about kink, non-monogamy, or alternative relationship structures without bias or pathologising. These areas of erotic life deserve the same thoughtful, informed support as any other.

I offer kink-aware, trauma-informed coaching for individuals and couples exploring conscious kink, BDSM dynamics, power exchange, polyamory, open relating, or relationship anarchy. Sessions support you in differentiating fantasy from values, navigating consent and boundaries, and cultivating erotic confidence within the structures that feel true to you.
