About
Hi, I’m Myfanwy (muh-vun-wee) (she/her) — a Certified Somatic Sex Educator based in Ottawa.
After leaving a long-term relationship and navigating an intensive parenting chapter, I found myself with the opportunity to truly get to know myself. The exploration of sex, pleasure, and dating became an important part of that journey — a way to reconnect with my body, my desires, and my aliveness.
That path led me to train in somatic sex education and sexological bodywork. I now support others who want to rediscover themselves through curiosity, practice, and attuned presence.
I work with people who are:
-
Reconnecting with their body and pleasure after separation or life change
-
New to intimacy or dating and wanting to learn at their own pace
-
Neurodivergent or living with disability and seeking accessible, sensory-aware support
-
Seeking a gentler relationship to desire, boundaries, and communication
My approach is practical, embodied, and gentle — not about fixing, but about learning to know yourself.
I welcome people of all genders, sexual orientations, races, bodies, and abilities. I strive to approach this work with awareness, humility, and a commitment to ongoing learning around power, privilege, and intersectionality.
Professional Training
My work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience. I’m a Certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker, and a member of the Somatic Sex Educators Association and the Sexological Bodyworkers Association.
My academic background includes university studies at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Women’s and Gender Studies, with a focus on health, bodies, and disability — an area that continues to inform my inclusive, body-positive approach to this work.
I’ve also completed training in Sacred Intimacy and with The Wheel of Consent, both of which deepened my understanding of presence, boundaries, and embodied communication — foundations that are central to my practice.
I continue to deepen my skills through ongoing peer suppervision and study in trauma-informed practice, body awareness, and inclusive sexuality education — and I’m always exploring options to expand the ways I can support clients.
Work With Me
What is Somatic Sex Education?
Somatic Sex Education is a collaborative, experiential approach to learning about sexuality, pleasure, and embodiment. We explore through awareness, movement, and touch (when appropriate and always with consent), helping you deepen your connection with your body and expand your capacity for pleasure and choice.
My approach
I meet you where you are — with warmth, curiosity, and clear boundaries. We work at a pace that feels safe for you, using exercises and conversations that help you notice sensations, explore boundaries, and practice new ways of being. This work is experiential, not performance-based.
What sessions are like
Sessions are typically 90 minutes. We begin with a conversation, then move into embodied practices, touch or movement as agreed, and end with reflection and integration. Everything is negotiated beforehand and you’re always in control.
In-person & online
I offer in-person sessions in Ottawa and some online sessions for accessibility and convenience.
Rates & Packages
I offer 90-minute sessions and multi-session packages. We’ll talk about rates and options during your free discovery call so we can find the best fit for your needs. A limited number of sliding scale spaces are available.
Testimonials
"I was in search of ways to better connect with my body and expand its capacity to experience pleasure. Myfanwy has been a wonderful guide along this journey. Through body/mind exercises and explorations that are both creative and pragmatic, I have learned to receive touch mindfully, with intent, and without worry. I feel I can now appreciate greater varieties of pleasure and have the tools to keep myself grounded."

“Myfanwy’s warm and caring approach to sex and sexuality helped me feel more confident and capable in my own body. Her empathetic and non-judgmental disposition enabled me to overcome my own sexual concerns. I definitely feel more attuned to my own body and my own pleasure thanks to her and her somatic teachings.”

"Myfanwy helped open me up. I had been buried under the weight of being the perfect mom, perfect employee, perfect friend, perfect lover — carrying it all without emotion, without need, without breaking. I was suffocating. She gave me my voice back: to find what I wanted, to say no, to set boundaries. To put down my responsibilities for a while and focus on myself — on my desire, my bliss. She created a safe space where I could finally prioritize my own pleasure."
“Before I met Myfanwy I was having difficulty with accepting what I enjoyed sexually. Upon meeting with her we had an open discussion which put me at complete ease. We completed numerous exercises to calm and quieten the mind and she was totally supportive during our sessions together. I learned to follow my body but also to identify my limits. Myfanwy empowered me to take control and to be accepting of who I am”.
