Experience the Power of Somatic Sex Coaching with Compassion and Care
Sexuality is not just an idea—it’s something deeply felt in our bodies and shared through meaningful connection. I’m Dovie Gena, a certified somatic sex coach in Denver, and I work with women and couples to reconnect with their authentic sexual selves.
Sex and intimacy are profoundly personal, yet so many of us carry cultural expectations or personal wounds that hold us back from fully experiencing who we are and what we desire. My mission is to guide you through those barriers with compassion and care. Together, we can heal traumas, build confidence, and create space for you to explore your desires on your own terms.
Through a body-centered coaching approach, I help you integrate emotions, desires, and sensations to build confidence and deepen intimacy. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic sex coaching combines deeply personal body centered strategies to create a fully embodied experience in the “relationship lab”, using tools like mindfulness, breathing, and body based tools to enhance self-awareness, unlocking profound access to pleasure and secure connection.
How Somatic Sex Coaching Can Help You:
- Reconnect with Your Body: Release shame and discover your unique pleasure needs.
- Confidence Building: Overcome limiting self-beliefs and celebrate your desires.
- Better Connection: Enhance communication and deepen intimacy with your partner(s).
What Is a Somatic Sex Coach?
A somatic sex coach is a trained professional who works with individuals and couples to improve their sexual health, communication, and intimacy.
While traditional therapy focuses on mental health improvement using a variety of practical, talk based & often goal oriented psychological techniques, trauma informed somatic sex & relationship coaching is more about embodiment and celebrating personal choice. Having a lived experience through vulnerable coach & client exercises that focus on your unique pleasure needs, it enhances your entire life from the outside in. Meaning, I support your release of stored physical and emotional tension. Sexual tension is also a large part of this experience for many people. I encourage greater integration of your body and mind, deepening self-awareness and the capacity for presence.
How Somatic Sex Coaching Helps
As your experienced sex and relationship practitioner , I offer a coaching experience grounded in empathy, vulnerability, mindfulness, and trust. Our work together creates a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your sexuality, overcome shame, and build confidence.
Women want and crave novelty & adventure just as much as men. In order to access the available depths of pleasurable experiences in life, we’ll focus on improving your inner dialogue; such as: evaluating and reframing any limiting self beliefs, enhancing your communication style and skills, understanding your core desires, and boldly building a deeper connection with yourself and your partner(s).
What Makes My Somatic Approach Unique?
I integrate somatic resources to explore how emotions and sensations are stored and expressed in the body. Together, we foster a sense of nervous system safety, helping you release multi-faceted stored tensions, heal inner wounds, and unlock the fullness of your divine feminine or personal sexual expression.
What sets my approach apart is my use of somatic or body-centered resources. This means that we don’t just talk about your experiences; we connect your thoughts, feelings and emotions to your body’s sensations to identify its innate responses & determine how you want to live your life. This work helps you grow nervous system resilience, build real confidence, heal from past traumas, and develop a deeper sense of self-acceptance and ultimately self love and embodiment.
When your body feels safe and aligned, you can identify your true desires, making it easier to break free from shame and experience the fullness of your femininity and sexual expression.

Do Somatic Sex Coaches Touch You?
I hear this question often, and I want to take a moment to address it with honesty and care. Let’s explore it together, with transparency and understanding. As your somatic sex & relationship coach, my sessions are focused on providing guidance and education, and creating a safe space for exploration. Yes, I engage in touch work with my clients. This can take on several forms depending on your needs including: the Alexander Technique, Bioenergetics, Core energetics, Neuroaffective Touch and Transformative Touch. These are all ways in which one becomes more connected to their mind, body and soul through grounding, mindfulness, breathing and bodily awareness strategies. Your arousal is a naturally occuring sensation that arises during this work that we acknowledge and lean into when you are ready.
My role is to help you understand your desires, improve communication, and overcome challenges through conversation and somatic practices that involve your miraculous body.
I am committed to maintaining a strict code of ethics and professionalism at all times. I pride myself on creating and respecting your boundaries at all times, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the somatic coaching process.
The physical boundaries of this practice include no kissing, no touching of the nipples or genitals, no intercourse, no oral sex, no nudity, no intimate physical connection outside of scheduled sessions, i.e. no personal relationships with clients of any kind for up to two (2) calendar years post coaching. Somatic sex & relationship coaching is a ‘clothes on’ practice at all times.
If you are seeking a talk therapy style of session please see our online sex coaching services for more information. These are held virtually and involve no touching.

Somatic Sex Coaching FAQs
How much does somatic sex coaching cost?
Sex coaching in general can cost anywhere between $90 for a 45 minute session to $250 for a 50 minute session, depending on the years of experience your coach has. My services cost $75/hr for an individual full session & $95/hr for a couples full session.
Sessions are shared in person at my home office, your home. Online somatic sex coaching sessions over Google Meet can be accommodated if needed. For example: during extreme weather events impacting in-person appointments can be conducted online to avoid cancellations. I do not recommend somatic sex coaching sessions virtually as the loss of physical presence changes the dynamic and overall experience.
If your home is more than 25mi outside of metro-Denver, you can expect your hourly rate to increase.
The fee for longer sessions, as agreed-upon by mutual consent, may be arranged on a prorated basis. Custom triad sessions are available upon request for an additional fee. Please see our workshops for group sessions.
What is the ‘Relationship Lab’?
In sessions with Dovie Gena, she is not separate from you. You are together on your journey to discover how deep connection feels and decide how you can live your most authentic life. She demonstrates what it looks and feels like when all of your needs are met, feelings are validated, boundaries are clear and your capacity is respected. Only then, can you live out your core desires in everyday life with your partner(s). The relationship lab is a unique container that gives clients permission to show up as themselves in the most raw and vulnerable state, so that real conversation, reactions and unedited expression can occur. This is where the magic happens.
