Queer Somatics | Skylar Haven, Msc
Love your body. Trust your body. Enjoy your body. For anyone looking to connect with their body and experience greater pleasure and rest in it. Everyone welcome. LGBTQIA+ Specialised.
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
- Scar tissue in or impacting intimate areas
- Shame
- De-armouring
- 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

Over Skylar Haven, Msc
Hi, my name is Skylar and my passion is to support people in thriving - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Embodiment is central to the work I do. Our bodies are critical to the way we think, feel and act in the world. I aim to help people experience their body as a source of wisdom and find ways to harness that wisdom in their life, health, relationships and work.
I do this through coaching, massage and education. I hold space for them in their healing journeys and support them in finding greater pleasure and personal power in life.
- I work 1 on 1, with groups and in organisations. I love partnering with other facilitators, therapists and projects when there is sufficient values alignment to support successful partnership.
My background includes 20+ yrs of coaching, facilitation and bodywork and extensive training and certifications in somatic coaching, massage, yoga therapy, sexological bodywork and therapeutic and trauma-informed uses of yoga, mindfulness and compassion for physical and mental health.
