Each of the 4 Erotic Explorers brings their own unique skillset and experience to their sessions and classes.

Kaggi Valentine (she/her)

Kaggi is a somatic sex educator and sexological bodyworker who is specialising in scar remediation having done a two year training with Ellen Heed.

She has a background in shiatsu and TCM, reproductive massage and has facilitated women’s circle work for over 20 years. She is also a home birth mother of 3 kids and has worked as a trained doula.

A constant theme in her professional and personal journey is unearthing the wisdom of the body. Kaggi has developed a broad range of approaches for allowing somatic stories to be heard, validated and tended to. What she loves about somatic sexology is how completely client centred it is and how we allow and integrate pleasure into the body and open to new possibilities.

She is now a menopausal woman and with her passion over the years for embracing and honouring change she is particularly interested in working with all bodies that are going through transitions and openings of any kind.

After recovering from breast cancer she is offers workshops of breast health and she is also a passionate advocate for anal health and wellness.

Juke van der Scheer

Juke is a pelvic health physiotherapist and a somatic sexologist who has been living and working in different countries for the last 17 years. She has returned to the Netherlands, and is now practising pelvic health physiotherapy and integrates her knowledge as a somatic sex educator which has transformed how she works completely.

In her point of view, it’s the combination of scientific expertise (brain expertise like “thinking and knowing”) combined with body awareness (body expertise like “feeling sensations and emotions”), that creates openings into new behaviours that give opportunities to create a healthy sex life and the possibilities to grow into a lifetime of pleasure.

Each person’s lifelong journey in experiencing their body, is unique. What if you have deviated from pleasure into pain or frustration and don’t know how to get back on track? A step in (re)connecting with yourself, is to ask for help. There is no right or wrong, no judgement and “clunkiness” is much appreciated. Let’s get curious together and find a way to a healthy connection with yourself and your sexuality.

Patrick Bellett (he/him)

Born in the deep south of New Zealand in 1969 Patrick has been a telephone counsellor for Youth Line, a DJ, Photographer, music producer, visual artist, horticulturist, retail shop assistant & National Sales & a Marketing Manager.

In 2013 he was involved in a serious car accident that changed everything for him. Five years later many of the physical symptoms were improving, but psychologically he was was no better off. Heavily addicted to pharmaceutical drugs and was still unable to cross the road unaided or even operate a camera. Years of cognitive behavioural therapy had left him feeling broken. At this stage probably due to heavy use of pharmaceutical drugs he was unable to perform sexually or even sing or dance. The colour had drained out of his world.

He sought the help of a somatic sex therapist & counsellor. He was so amazed and delighted by the results, making more progress in five months than he had in five years. He decided to study in the field of embodied counselling and somatic sexological bodywork / somatic sexology through the Australian Institute of Somatic Sexology.

The areas he is most passionate about are men’s issues, working with couples, sexual abuse survivors (this needs to be in conjunction with or after some trauma therapy), group workshops and teaching Erotic Embodiment classes.

Sam Beer (she/they)

After quitting a soul sucking 9-5 office job, Sam began working in the sex industry where she has explored camming, porn, erotic massage, full service sex work/ companion and kink services. Initially the idea was to support herself while studying to be a psychologist.

After witnessing firsthand how conscious touch, guidance in somatic awareness, unpressured pleasure and play can be creatively crafted into powerful transformative experiences, she allowed herself to tumble down the very sexy rabbit hole of sexual development and education. This decision has paid enormous dividends in her own capacity for intimacy, healthy relating and self-regulation, benefits she believes are accessible to anyone who intentionally explores eroticism.

Having now completed a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, training as a Certified Sexological Bodyworker and an Introductory Certificate in Embodied Counselling, she seeks to share the skills and knowledge gained through her work and study with a wider audience through Erotic Embodiment classes and workshops. She also offers one on one erotic education and enrichment sessions with clients who desire a practice partner and guide with whom to develop sexual and relational skills.

Permission to explore, turning novelty into knowledge by meeting the resilient edge, reducing pressure, expectation and judgement and making space for integration are the cornerstones of her professional practice.

What do Sexological Bodyworkers and Somatic Sex Educators do?

The remit of sexological bodyworkers has expanded in the last few decades. There are sexological bodyworkers and somatic sex educators working with erotically active people of all life stages, genders, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds and abilities. This presents almost limitless erotic inquiries to work with. Take note of that language – the educational contract lies at the heart of sexological bodywork sessions.

You might hear the phrase “embrace the clunky”. This mantra abounds among somatic sex educators, and is informed by recent developments in learning theory and research in neuroplasticity. The clunki-ness is where learning happens –where your brain rewires itself to form new connections and strengthen these connections with practice. Allowing for clunkiness relieves the anxiety that all too often arises from the pressure to perform, to get things right, to flow effortlessly in sex.
