There is Power in your Pleasure.
Hi, my name’s Noah.
If you’re longing to connect more deeply with your pleasure and step into your erotic sovereignty, I’m here for you.
After all, who said healing shouldn’t feel good?
I’m a somatic sexologist and sexologic bodyworker that supports people in trauma recovery reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, and agency through body-based practices, trauma-aware coaching, sex positive education, and sexologic bodywork. I work 1:1 in Victoria BC and online, and offer trainings for therapists supporting survivors.
We might be a good fit if you're feeling stuck or confused about sex: if sex and connection leave you stressed or overwhelmed, if you've been enduring rather than enjoying intimacy, or if you feel disconnected from yourself and your desires. In short - if you feel pretty clear about what doesn't work for you, but not yet about what does.
Or… perhaps you're feeling hungry to dive more deeply into the role pleasure and eros plays in your life. You know what you value, and are here for more!
Please feel free to read on to learn more about my scope of practice and different options for working together. Also, if you’re interested, you can read more about my full background here.

I’d love to send you letters!
Once a month I send a letter from the heart: tools, skills, and interesting things about sex and pleasure I want you to know about. Sometimes a heads up on upcoming workshops or events. Sometimes a behind-the-scenes glimpse into my work and life.
These letters are entirely homemade (100% Canadian!) and boy do they take awhile to bake. I don’t send them often, but, let’s remember what sex researcher Emily Nagoski likes to say: what makes good sex good isn't about ‘how much’, or ‘how often’. Instead, ‘pleasure is the measure’ of sexual satisfaction.
A little about me…
I've worked and studied in the field of sexuality for 15+ years, and in that time found myself drawn in by the wild magic of exquisite, present eroticism that creates space for depth and soul connection. That joy is what brought me to this work supporting survivors in their journeys to connecting with erotic pleasure.
I'm also a survivor myself, with an insatiable love of soaking up the sun, playing in the garden, and swinging kettlebells.
And I'm here because:
I believe people deserve a conscious, connected relationship with their eroticism and pleasure.
I see a real cultural need for presence, intimacy, and touch that feels so damn good.
I believe resilience and joy come from embracing our bodies and pleasure - not avoiding or numbing them.
I recognize that sex-negative culture, poor sex education, racism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination all hinder our ability to feel easefully sexy and alive. And that there's far too little support for working with those obstacles.
I believe that feeling even 10% more connected to our erotic selves is more attainable than we've been led to believe. And I'm committed to helping get us there.
“I gardened around my trauma to create a world of luscious nowness rather than pruning and weeding it down to one sterile monument to the past.”

What Clients Are Saying:
-
"I feel that working with Noah saved me years of pain, confusion, and self-abandonment. Exploring my sexuality and having a deeper understanding of my sexual trauma with his support was a profoundly healing experience for me. Through our work together, I was able to look at previously banished parts of myself and find beauty, inspiration, and magic in them. I have never felt so deeply safe, seen, listened to and respected in intimacy before. That is because Noah is a gifted and experienced practitioner with a very unique, impressive set of skills and a truly trauma-informed approach. He is also genuinely supportive, kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I wholeheartedly recommend Noah to anyone looking to heal or expand their relationship with their sexuality."

The sessions I have had with you allowed me to broaden my view and experience with pleasure, feel strong enough to communicate my desires with others, and also gave me an opportunity to explore sensations, objects etc in a comfortable and caring setting.

I hope you hear this often and with the appreciation you deserve, but I really truly appreciate you. "
