Conscious Power Play
BDSMbodied
for the curious couple ready to deepen your intimacy, explore your taboos, and awaken your most exhilarating erotic lives through the vulnerability of (power) play.
When couples approach me feeling distant, misaligned, or like something’s “off” in their relationship, there’s often a hidden factor at play: an unconscious power imbalance. Though it can be hard to pinpoint, it often manifests in subtle ways that gradually chip away at intimacy, leaving that niggling feeling that the passion is waning.
This issue can show up in many ways, from wishing your partner would take more initiative, to struggling with confidence in bed, to recurring petty fights, fear of criticism, withdrawal of intimacy, and more…
What does it take to reignite the spark?
So many modern couples have done the work, from couples counselling, to practicing non-violent communication, to reading all the top relationship books, and more, but are still left unsatisfied in bed. What gives?
What I’ve discovered as a Somatica trained intimacy and relationship coach is that your secret fantasies hold the key, and your body knows the way to your most epic love life.
If you’re hiding your deeper (more kinky) desires under layers of cultural conditioning, trauma, shame, religious upbringing, and gender norms, then no amount of eye-gazing or romantic weekends away will give you the spine-curling, soul-unlocking pleasure you sense is possible for you.
The stakes are high.
If you and your partner have differing desires and libidos, carry blocks around sharing or accepting each other’s kinks and fantasies, or lack polarity or confidence in bed, these are the kinds of problems that lead to stagnant sexual energy, buried shame, resentment, infidelity, unhappy marriages, separation, and yup, even divorce.
You’d love nothing more than to share your deepest erotic desires with the person you love most.
And it matters because sex provides so much more than just ‘getting off’. It opens us to deeper intimacy, higher states of love, and clears out stagnant energy in every part of our lives.

BDSMbodied
Conscious Power Play
A group or private weekend workshop (you choose) where you and your partner can safely and confidently explore polarity and power dynamics, somatically shifting your intimacy paradigm toward the kind of mind-blowing, heart-opening sex that makes you feel thankful to be alive.
Instead of stagnant and unsatisfying, what if your sex life began to look like…
-
As a sub
You return home from dinner, your S.O. tells you to go to the bedroom, undress, kneel on a pillow at the end of the bed, and wait, making you quiver in anticipation of what they're planning for you.
-
As a Dom
You get home from a long day of work, and baby is waiting for you wearing nothing but an apron. She sensually crawls over to you, removes your pants and offers you oral sex as you take off your jacket.
-
As a sub
You drift off into a blissful sub-space as Mistress masterfully glides ropes across your body, tying you into her favourite compromising position, and has her way with you, toys in hand.
-
As a Dom
You feel your little slut trusting you and opening to deeper levels of surrender under your care, and your love deepens as your confidence (and the polarity between you) grows.
You both feel a new spring in your step, shedding your blocks and inhibitions, blossoming out of your shells, and becoming the confident, playful lovers you were always meant to be.
“Since the workshop, our sex life has gotten very HOT! I am reaching orgasm so much easier! I LOVE it!
I also feel like we left the workshop with a lot more options for going after our core erotic desires without just repeating the same script over and over. As a result, I feel even closer to my partner, and more deeply satisfied in bed, and we both can’t wait to take level 2!
If you want to explore your kinks, have hotter sex, grow in self-awareness, and deepen your connection with your partner, I can't recommend this workshop enough. Conscious Power Play with Jess is like an electric jolt to your love life!”

Introducing
BDSMbodied
Conscious
Power Play
This is not your typical BDSM for Beginners workshop.
Conscious Power Play is a trauma-informed, body-led pathway to deeper intimacy, trust, and personal growth — where you learn how to cultivate the kind of mind-blowing, heart-opening sex that makes you feel thankful to be alive.
It’s a group or private weekend workshop (you choose) where you and your partner can safely and confidently explore polarity and power dynamics — guided by a highly attuned somatic sex and intimacy coach (hi — that’s me, Jess!).
Come learn the tools, guidance, and safe practices you need to master the transformative practice of power play (aka dominance and submission) and create a love story that feels uniquely, thrillingly yours.
“Jess was grounded and confident in her knowledge and ability while bringing a sense of levity and ease to the process. I felt safe sharing my more vulnerable thoughts with her.
An insight I had while working with Jess was how I have never really consciously thought about how I want to feel emotionally during sex. Being guided through that process to define that emotional desire helped me to understand how to be a more effective lover and get both my and my partner’s needs met.
Another HUGE takeaway was around the exercise we did feeling our (embodied) Yes’s and No’s. I brought it up in my men's group and we talked about how many of us find it hard to know when there is an embodied yes or no feeling. It was interesting to hear how a lot of us would override our wants because we think we should want something or should show up a certain way. Really powerful stuff!”

-
Uncover what you truly want from BDSM and how to align your goals with your partner’s.
-
Master the art of negotiating desires and boundaries before, during, and after any play to ensure you’re always on the same page.
-
Learn simple opening and closing practices to make your sub feel emotionally and physically safe.
-
Uncover and release the unconscious stories that keep you from confidently embracing your desires.
-
Explore your unique Dom/Sub flavor—are you a nurturing Dom, a sadist, a baby girl, a submissive brat, or something else entirely?
-
Gain confidence by understanding safety protocols, avoiding ruptures, and learning how to navigate triggers and trauma.
-
When you step into power play, your sexual polarity is naturally heightened, bringing more electricity and magnetism to your sexual encounters.

Build a sex life that meets both of your core erotic desires and bridges any gaps or differences.
This isn’t just about “kink.” It’s about deepening your connection, building unshakeable trust, and creating the most epic erotic life you can imagine — together.

Hi, I’m Jess.
Meet your guide
As a self proclaimed muggle-turned-wizard, I’ve spent the last five years deeply evolving into the person in front of you. Queer, Embodied, Ambiamorous, and Kinky.
After leaving a corporate career, marriage, and lifestyle that were no longer serving me, I have embraced my true journey as a Somatic Sex and Intimacy Coach. When I realized how much more fulfilling my life felt, I wanted to help others by creating a space where they could heal and grow within their own intimate lives.
I became a Somatica® Trained Sex and Relationship Coach at the Somatica Institute and also studied with the Institute of Somatic Sexology. My recent studies also include the Somatica® Couples Training, BDSM training, ‘Beyond Consent’ with Mischa Byruck, and Somagetic Practitioner Training.
So much of my transformation came as a result of my studies and the tools and insights I gained through my training, sexual exploration, and self-care practices. Now I want to pass these tools on to you so you can live a life full of embodied passion, intentional connection, and mind-blowing intimacy.
My role as your Somatic Intimacy coach is to teach you the language of your body’s inherent wisdom and safely stretch your sexual and relational edges — without threatening the love, trust, and intimacy you already share with your partner.
“I felt expertly held throughout the two days. Jess helped us look at the underlying patterns in our hottest sexual fantasies to discover our core erotic desires. We both had insights that helped us grow in self-awareness, and we’re each coming away with a unique erotic playbook that gives us the tools to create the kind of erotic experiences we both find most satisfying.”
— A.B.

FAQ
-
This workshop is very somatic in nature, meaning I am deeply trained to support you to feel into your own body’s wisdom and use that as our guide to move at your own pace.
This work is trauma-informed (see below for more info on that).
I will never tell you what kind of kink or power roles you should step into. I am committed to supporting you to uncover and step into your own unique desires, boundaries, and core erotic themes.
I champion all gender and sexual identities, never forcing you into some constrained box around gender roles and polarity.
I believe in the power of conscious BDSM, where we explore kink as a tool for personal growth, healing, and deepening trust and intimacy. Yet, I don’t take myself too seriously. It can be fun to feel into all the levels of turn-on, shallow and deep. In my world, they all belong.
-
This private workshop is for couples, so unfortunately, you both need to be on board for this to work.
If they’re willing, they can book a free 30 minute discovery call with me to get any questions answered. I have a zero hard sales policy, so I’ll never pressure you to buy.
-
My studies have been through independent and private institutions. This means I am not a registered Therapist or Counsellor.
-
Through my studies, I have learned to work with clients in a way that is trauma-aware. With clients who have experienced trauma, I utilize knowledge of Polyvagal theory, Somatic awareness, and Internal Family Systems.
The somatic approach taken in our sessions is one that recognizes when trauma triggers show up in the body. I take an embodied approach to assist my clients back to a non-triggered state.
That said, if you are actively dealing with acute trauma responses that would be better served in therapy, this program may not be for you at this time.
-
I follow the boundaries of the Somatica method, which means that clothing is always kept on in our sessions together, whether in person or online.
-
No lunch is provided, however you will have access to a fridge and kitchen (just no microwave), and the location is in walking distance to restaurants and the beach.
-
Level 1 is a journey into core erotic themes, trauma awareness, and conscious boundaries, laying the foundation for kink through self-reflection, safety, and embodied practices.
Level 2 will be a deep dive into hands-on practices and scene building, with advanced tools and techniques for sensation play, bondage, and creating a safe, fulfilling scene experience. COMING SOON!
-
Both Levels 1 and 2 of this workshop are meant for beginners to BDSM, which means if you have at least 2-3 years experience actively practicing BDSM with your current partner, these workshops may not be for you.
That being said, clients may find the core elements of Level 1 may be the missing piece/s to their current practice. Often couples start playing around with new toys and roleplay, without having foundational knowledge of scene safety or their partners core desires for example.
If you feel that you and your partner have the foundational learnings from Level 1 already established, I encourage you to book a discovery call with me, to determine if you may be eligible to bypass the Level 1 pre-requisite.
