“Love and Intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well.”
-Dean Ornish, M.D.
“…we all heal primarily in and through the body, not just through the rational brain. We can all create more room, and more opportunities for growth, in our nervous systems. But we do this primarily through what our bodies experience and do—not through what we think or realize or cognitively figure out.”
-My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP
My name is Madelina, and I am a Somatic Sex and Intimacy Coach based in New York City.
I know closely the shame, dissociation, anger, and fear that can come from painful relationship experiences. Our relationship patterns start when we are very young and become negative feedback loops where we attract and reinforce the very feelings and behaviors that initially hurt us.
I know even closer the unbelievably beautiful path it is to reawaken your body, your desire, your confidence and your peace by somatically releasing pain and building healthy intimacy with yourself and others.
I can help you uncover a life where you find deep satisfaction.
Some (not all!) of what I can help you with:
Body Image - Empowerment & Embodiment - Loving Your Body
Core Desires - Lack of Desire - Sexual Shame & Trauma
Working Towards Secure Attachment - Inner Child Healing
Building Self Trust - Intimate Communication Skills
