About Tia

I’m a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Sex Educator and Somatic Counsellor living and working on Wurundjeri country (Melbourne, Australia).

My current counselling and coaching practice draws on 12+ years experience in erotic and body-based work, and uses both touch and non-touch approaches. My training and ongoing engagement with the Wheel of Consent® is foundational to my work.

I came to this work off the back of a long healing journey of my own, and it was through somatics that I found tools and practice that actually made a difference. This is what grounds my commitment to this work, and I hold a deep reverence for the embodied wisdom we all hold.

I work with individuals, couples and groups, across a broad range of identities, lived experiences and challenges. To locate myself, I’m white, queer, non-binary (they/them) and neurodivergent. I have lived experience with ethical non monogamy, kink & BDSM, and SW, and I am particularly committed to serving these communities and other marginalised folks with care and integrity.

I am a current member of the Somatic Sex Educators Association of Australasia and practice within their Code of Ethics. I receive regular supervision in counselling, somatic sex education and facilitation, and am committed to ongoing study and professional development in order to offer support that is ethical, effective, and affirming.

While much of my formal training has come through contemporary Western somatic frameworks, many of these are deeply informed by Eastern traditions. I seek to hold these cultural and spiritual lineages with reverence and care.
