SexBod Series Ep 2 | The Four Pillars of Sexological Bodywork

Welcome back to The Sexbod Series, episode 2 of the special 8-part mini-series within the podcast, where I’m joined by my good friend and fellow Sexological Bodyworker, Simon Heller. Simon, who now teaches this transformative practice, brings his deep expertise as we explore the intersection of self-love, sexuality, and the body through the lens of Sexological Bodywork. This series is designed to share knowledge, educate, and shed light on this powerful modality—helping listeners understand what it’s truly capable of and how it can transform their relationship with themselves and their bodies.

Episode 2: The Four Pillars of Sexological Bodywork

If you haven’t yet listened to the first episode, we recommend starting there for an introduction to the foundational concepts of Sexological Bodywork. In this episode, Simon and Simon dive into the Four Pillars that form the core of this transformative practice: breath, movement, sound, and intentional touch.

Together, they explore how these pillars work in harmony to deepen self-awareness, release emotions, and strengthen embodied connection. Breath regulates and connects, movement awakens energy, sound amplifies expression, and intentional touch grounds the body in its sensations. This episode provides a richer understanding of these powerful tools and their role in creating a more integrated experience of self-love and sexuality.

Each episode in this mini-series delves into different aspects of Sexological Bodywork, a holistic approach to sexuality that fosters a deep connection between body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're new to this concept or looking to deepen your knowledge, this series offers insightful perspectives and practical wisdom from both co-hosts as they share their personal journeys and professional expertise in this unique field.

Stay tuned as Simon and Simon continue to explore various dimensions of Sexological Bodywork in upcoming episodes, offering fresh insights and deeper dives into each topic. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or simply curious about body-based self-love, this mini-series is here to inspire, educate, and transform your relationship with your body and self.

* Foundations of Sexological Bodywork summarised:
The foundations of Sexological Bodywork are centered on sexual healing, education, mindful self loving, and body awareness through client-led, therapeutic touch. This modality integrates breathwork, movement, sound, and guided touch to help individuals connect with their bodies and sexuality in a safe, consent-based environment. Sessions focus on areas such as exploring pleasure, releasing trauma, and addressing sexual dysfunction, while incorporating sex education and the anatomy of pleasure. Practitioners remain clothed, and all touch is one-way, creating a professional and respectful space for healing and growth. Each session is shaped by the client's needs and goals, ensuring a personalized experience that supports sexual well-being.

• Client-Led and Therapeutic: Sexological Bodywork is driven by the client's needs, focusing on sexual healing, body awareness, and resolving trauma in a safe, structured environment.
• One-Way Touch, Clear Boundaries: All touch is one-way, with the practitioner fully clothed, ensuring a professional, respectful space for growth.
• Educational Focus: It incorporates sexual education and the anatomy of pleasure, helping clients explore communication, boundaries, and consent.
• Distinct from Tantra Massage: While Tantra massage focusing on sexual energy and spirituality, sexological bodywork works with sexual energy and focuses on clients needs, education, healing, and a trauma-informed approach.
