Eros Alchemy Sessions

Sexological bodywork, intimacy coaching, de-armoring & plant medicine for somatic healing and embodied transformation in Santa Monica, CA

The space I hold is designed to awaken, nurture, and deepen your connection to your sensual self and soul’s desire. Together, we tune into the innate wisdom of your body and its natural capacity to heal, co-creating a space for you to metabolize and integrate unprocessed emotions blocking your life force energy.

We unravel cultural conditioning, repair relational wounds, and re-wire the nervous system to facilitate deeper intimacy and satisfaction. In this sacred space, pleasure and plant allies support the softening of your body and the opening of your heart, guiding you toward deeper living and loving.

I offer a transformative relational experience, rooted in present-moment connection and healthy, nourishing bonding. In our time together, we slow down to notice what is arising, gently bringing awareness to parts of you that may have been pushed aside, dismissed, or left unseen. By shifting how you connect in the here and now, you can experience lasting change: greater nervous system regulation, deeper resilience, authentic embodiment, inner safety, empowerment, and joy.

Together, we explore and unwind relational patterns that no longer serve you, creating space to practice new ways of being with yourself and others—grounded in truth, trust, and choice.

 

Each session may include a blend of practices designed to support your healing, awakening, and return to embodied wholeness, such as:

  • Restorative attuned touch to invite regulation, repair, and deep saftey in the body

  • Pleasure mapping and ecstatic erotic massage to awaken sensation and reclaim joy

  • Body and pelvic de-armoring and pelvic steaming to soften holding patterns and restore connection and sesnsation to your sacred center

  • Coaching in boundaries, communication, and consent to support relational clarity and satisfaction

  • Inner-child healing and ritual to tend to your emotional and spiritual landscape

  • Education on anatomy, arousal, trauma, and the nervous system to empower your understanding

  • Plant medicine connection offered with intention and reverence

I work with both psycho-active and non-psychoactive plants & heart openers.

 

Every body deserves to be held, touched and loved with exquisite presence, care, and respect.

The Container

This is a sanctuary to un-thaw yourself from the patriarchal scripts of domination, scarcity, hyper-sexualization and shaming.

Re-discover what you truly desire and open to new depths of intimacy and connection.

A space that lives outside of the normative scripts of what it looks like to connect with our bodies, each other, and pleasure.

A refuge from the normative narratives that keep us small, ashamed, and disconnected.

A haven from a world of performative sexuality that is goal oriented and hyper focused on penetration and climax.

A space to discover what else is available in eroticism.

A space to repair relational ruptures of abandonment, violation, betrayal, and neglect.

To imprint new somatic and relational experiences that allow for freedom of expression, giving and recieving of love, and satisfaction.

A space of reciprocal reverence.

We de-shamed desire. De-shamed pleasure. De-shamed the body. Healed a pre-verbal hungry ghost state of sexualized deprivation. I came to you fragmented and on the brink of a break up.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer a range of intentional, body-based touch containers designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re longing for nervous system repair, erotic reclamation, or soul-deep connection.

    This may include touch to the entire body, including the pelvis, always guided by your consent, comfort, and intention. These sessions are not clinical or disembodied—they are sacred, attuned, and relational.

    Keep reading below for more detailed explanations on:
    • Resorative Attuned Touch
    • Pleasure Mapping
    • Ecstatic Erotic Massage
    • De-Armoring

    Each offers a unique doorway into embodied healing, deepened sensation, and expanded capacity to feel, receive, and connect.

    Resorative Attuned Touch

    A gateway back to saftey, trust, and connection with the body.

    This is not about fixing or forcing. It's a practice of deep listening—of meeting the body exactly where it is, with presence, reverence, and patience. Together, we listen for how your body wants to be met. Through this kind of engagement—on the body's own terms—we gently invite the release of chronic holding patterns and the softening of proctective tension woven through the tissues.

    Touch becomes a language of regulation and repair. It can support the nervous system in shifting from guarded hypervigilance or collapse into a more resourced, responsive state—where pleasure, breath, and aliveness begin to return.

    Attuned touch reminds the body that it is safe to feel, to receive, and to belong.

    Pleasure Mapping

    A practice of returning home to your body as a source of wisdom, joy, and aliveness.

    We explore the landscape of your body —inviting you to discover what feels good, what feels safe, and where is there numbness or resistance? 

    This isn’t about performance or goals. It’s about slowing down enough to listen to the body’s subtle cues—its yes, its no, its maybe. We explore sensation, arousal, and boundaries through a lens of curiosity and reverence, creating space for new pathways of connection and empowerment to emerge.

    For many, this practice also brings awareness to areas that have been numb, disconnected, or touched without consent in the past. By meeting these places with compassion and choice, the body begins to reclaim its voice—repatterning its relationship to touch, pleasure, and power.

    Together, we map not just physical pleasure—but the emotional and energetic terrain of your erotic aliveness.

    This is the work of remembering that pleasure is your birthright. And that your body holds the map.

    Ecstatic Erotic Massage

    A full-bodied, somatic journey into your erotic energy—held in a sacred, intentional container. It is not about performance or climax. It is about presence, sensation, and aliveness.

    This work invites you to explore erotic touch as a healing force—one that can awaken pleasure, release shame, rewire old patterns, and help you inhabit your body more fully. It supports you in discovering what turns you on, what opens you, what brings you into deeper connection with yourself—and where there may be contraction, numbness, or guardedness that’s ready to soften.

    Through attuned, consent-based touch, I guide you into a state of deep embodiment, where erotic energy can expand beyond the genitals, becoming a current that moves through your entire system. This may include light, energetic contact or deeper, intentional touch—always in dialogue with your nervous system and inner truth.

    You are met exactly where you are, with reverence and care. There is no goal other than allowing your body to lead. In this space, pleasure becomes a pathway to healing, empowerment, and returning to your innate wholeness.

    De-armoring

    Armor is the protective patterning—both conscious and unconscious—that forms in our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. It develops in response to unprocessed experiences, unmet needs, or moments when it wasn’t safe to feel. These holding patterns once served to protect us—but over time, they can become walls that block us from receiving love, sensation, and connection.

    Armor shows up as tension, numbness, emotional shutting down, chronic bracing, or difficulty fully inhabiting the body. It’s the body’s way of saying, “It wasn’t safe then… so it’s not safe now.”

    De-armoring is a gentle and powerful process of unwinding these patterns—bringing breath, sound, presence, and intentional touch to the areas where your body has been guarding. As the armor softens, what often emerges is sensation, emotion, and life force—your natural vitality returning.

    This work supports:

    • Restoring sensation and flow in the body

    • Reclaiming access to deep pleasure

    • Releasing emotional blocks and integrating any traumatic experiences

    • Expanding your capacity to feel, receive, and connect

    De-armoring isn’t about pushing or forcing anything open—it’s about listening to what the body is ready to release, and meeting it with presence, patience, and care. It’s a return to aliveness. To intimacy. To the truth that your body is safe to feel again.

  • Sessions take place in a private residence in Santa Monica, California - intentionally curated for comfort, safety, and sacred connection.

  • Sessions typically range from 2 to 5 hours, with space for the body’s natural rhythms to guide the experience. Rather than adhering to a fixed timeframe, we listen for the moment your body feels complete for the day—honoring its wisdom and timing.

    While some clients come for a one-time ceremonial experience, most benefit from a series of 3–8 sessions to support deep transformation and embodiment.

  • Not at all. These sessions are designed for both beginners and seasoned seekers. Whether you're new to body-based healing or deep in your erotic journey, I meet you exactly where you are. What is important is a willingness to take self-responsibility and a basic capacity to sense into your own body—your emotions, sensations, and boundaries. This work invites deep presence, and your ability to stay attuned to your internal experience is key to the safety and potency of the container.

  • Sexological bodywork is a certified, one-way touch trauma-informed modality that uses breath, sound, movement, and conscious touch (including optional touch to the pelvis) to support erotic wholeness, body awareness, and nervous system regulation. All touch is guided by consent, intention, and ongoing dialogue.

  • No. We’ll explore together whether working with non-psychoactive or psychoactive plant allies is aligned for your healing. Plant medicine may be woven into bodywork sessions or held in separate ceremonial containers, always with reverence and preparation.

  • While this work offers deeply therapeutic benefits and is often more impactful than traditional talk therapy, I am not a licensed therapist and do not provide clinical psychotherapy. My work is rooted in sexological bodywork, somatic sex education, and psychedelic integration, operating outside the conventional therapy model within an experiential, body-based healing paradigm.

    Unlike traditional sex therapy—which tends to focus on verbal processing—this approach is hands-on, somatic, and experiential. We don’t just talk about intimacy or sexuality; we practice it through conscious touch, sensation, and nervous system attunement. You'll engage in real-time embodied experiences that support you in rewiring old patterns, reclaiming pleasure, and cultivating authentic connection—with yourself, your body, and your relationships.

    This is sex therapy through the body, not just the mind.

  • Wear something comfortable and easy to move in. You’re welcome to bring a journal, water bottle, and any sacred items you'd like to include on the altar. We'll go over everything during your intake.

  • You can contact me directly here to schedule a discovery call. If we decide to move forward and work together, we’ll schedule an intake over zoom before meeting in person for a hands-on session.

  • The investment to work with Ariel varies depending on the length, depth, and scope of your journey. Most clients invest between $1,800 and $20,000 for private sessions and containers, which may include:

    • A single multi-hour hands-on ceremonial session with prep and integration

    • A series of hands-on intimacy sessions

    • A multi-day immersive retreat

    • A plant ceremony with prep and integration

    • Or a combination of any of the above

    This range reflects the high-touch, intentional and deeply intimate nature of Ariel’s offerings - which often include sacred sexuality work, sexological bodywork, intimacy coaching, plant medicine, and trauma-informed somatic healing.

    Benefactor-supported options are available for survivors of sex trafficking as part of Ariel’s commitment to sexual healing and resource redistribution.
