“Have you heard of sexological bodywork? You might have, if you’ve been watching Sex, Love, and Goop on Netflix, inspired by Gwynyth Paltrow’s infamous brand.”
— Course Director Kian de la Cour interviewed in the Huffington Post

What our students are saying
Testimonial Video from Previous Graduates
“The inclusivity is one of the major attractions of it for me and I felt the trainers and everyone connected with it really walks the talk.”
If you are new to this work as I was, you will gain in abundance. This has been one of the most positive, life-affirming and exciting experiences on any sexual journey I have ever taken. By the end, you really know yourself, you really know your passion and you really know that this choice ‘is right’.”
“Be ready for an amazing experience, but think ‘professional’. Prepare well, dive deep into the experience and work hard and you’ll gain more than you thought possible.”
“I would say that it is the most comprehensive and well thought-out program I have attended and would advise that it is the ‘one’ to do should they wish to develop more skills in this field of work. Material grounded, training solid.”
