Do you wish you felt more during intimacy? 

Do shame and fear get in the way of your pleasure?

And do you wish you knew how to get out of your head and back into your body, so that you could have the kind of wild, orgasmic pleasure you’ve always dreamed of?

I’m joined on the show today by Bonnie Bliss — a Somatic Sexologist, pleasure educator and women’s pelvic wellness coach. Bonnie is here to chat candidly about women’s sexuality and pleasure — including how to process the trauma and shame that can impact your sexual experience, how to get your groove back after childbirth, and how to reconnect with your body after years of self-consciousness. She’s also sharing her unique embodied approach to accessing delicious orgasmic pleasure beyond anything you’ve ever felt before. It’s a mind-blowing conversation — in every sense of the word! — and one you’re going to want to relisten to again and again!

Named by Body+Soul Magazine as one of the 10 Australian women who are changing the game in the wellness field, sexologist Bonnie Bliss has spent the last decade supporting thousands of women all over the world to discover the incredible world within their bodies.

Bonnie’s approach is gentle, trauma-informed and holistic. Obsessed with using embodied practices to support our nervous systems, let go of stress, release shame and feel more deliciously alive in all areas of life, she is also the founder of the Yoni Club, a 3 month online women’s sexual wellness training that over 1500 women all over the world have taken part in.
