Bia Bliss

Sexologist

“Specializing in holistic intimacy and trauma-informed healing, I support individuals and couples to navigate intimacy challenges, enhance connections, and embrace authentic selves with compassion and understanding.”

About Me

As a Somatic Sexologist, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space for individuals and couples. We gently explore how your body holds experiences, helping to untangle intimacy challenges and deepen connections. This approach supports you in embracing your authentic self, fostering a clearer understanding of your desires. Clients seeking a holistic path to healing and genuine intimacy will find a supportive environment here.

Approach

Holding gentle attention to how your body stores stories, I guide sessions that slow the pace so we can notice sensations, language and relational patterns with care. In Takaka and online, in English, the room feels practical and exploratory — short somatic practices, reflective prompts and coached movement are woven into session time and simple tasks between meetings. This collaborative, paced way of working helps people and couples map new responses, restore safety and clarify desire, often resonating with those seeking embodied, compassionate change.
