ABOUT JACK

Jack (they/he) is a Certified Somatic Sexuality and Relationship Coach who provides a non-judgemental, caring place for people to bring any concerns they have around relationships, sexuality and intimacy.

Somatic sexuality and relationship coaching blends talking with practical tools, mindfulness, and education to create more understanding, choice, and empowerment in your relationships and sex life.

Jack is client-led and solution-focused, working with you to deepen your connection with your body and supporting you to better understand your needs and desires. Somatic coaching can assist you in furthering your understanding of the dynamics that could lead to communication breakdowns and intimacy difficulties, as well as providing tools to communicate more easily, strengthening intimate relationships (with yourself and others).

Jack works with people of all genders, sexualities, and relationship formats.

Sessions are available via Zoom across Australia and overseas. Jack also works in person in Alice Springs, NT.

 

“Their guidance in this area is truly incredible. I always feel I am held in such safe, encouraging hands with them."
