There are many things that can leave us feeling disconnected from our body and perhaps stuck in our heads. Sometimes disconnection is a result of our experiences, shaping, survival patterns, or health challenges. Often our disconnection fuels further challenges we face around relating, health and wellness. As we (re)connect with our body - its desires and limits - in kind and wise ways, desired and needed changes often begin to happen naturally. 

Ultimately, I aim to support you in experiencing greater ease and agency in your body and your life.

Common topics I support with include

• Sex, intimacy and relating
• Increasing awareness of, connection to and relationship with the body
• Navigating physical/mental health and their impact on wellness or sexuality
• Shame
• Self-acceptance
• Finding your voice 
• Taking up space 
• Identifying and asking for what you want
• Gender transition
• Changes in desire/pleasure/functioning 
• Gender and sexuality exploration
• Training around pleasure, arousal, orgasms, ejaculation
• Authentic communication
• Exploring anal health and pleasure
• Stress
• Pain
• Crafting your ideal sex or relationship life

About me

I identify as a queer, trans non-binary, genderqueer, poly person. I am sex positive, gender affirming, deeply commited to an ethics of non-violence and reduction of suffering and work from an understanding that all areas of individual and collective life are interconnected.

My training includes: a Master's degree in Coaching, IAYT-certified yoga therapist, mindfulness trainer, sexological bodyworker in training, somatic trauma therapy and trauma informed practice in each of the modalities I use.

Hi, my name is Skylar and my passion is to support people in thriving - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. 

I have an international background, identify as queer and non-binary (pronouns they/them) and have 20+ yrs of professional experience focused on leadership, learning and development, coaching, health and wellbeing for companies including Starbucks, Funda, Treatwell, Irdeto and the Naspers Group.

My own experiences navigating burnout, anxiety and life in high-pressure organisations with little support fuelled a passion for the topic of wellbeing and supporting the wellbeing of others as they navigate the pressures and complexities of life. 

In my work I blend modern science and wisdom traditions; combining traditional coaching, embodiment coaching (aka somatic coaching), yoga therapy, mindfulness and compassion to provide a holistic approach to care that is pragmatic, tailored and engages the body and the mind (otherwise known as the bodymind).
