Somatic touch for queer seekers.
Embodied healing meets erotic fulfilment.

I believe in somatic education as a practice of freedom. Drawing from Dharmic traditions while honouring their origins (learn more →), I don't claim to be a guide to enlightenment. I'm simply a fellow traveller who has mapped certain areas of embodied presence and can hold space while you explore your own.
Whether one-on-one, with your partnership, or in a grounded group container, three principles guide our intimate work together:
🙏🏼 EMBODIED CONSENT We move at the speed of trust, getting all parts of you on board without leaving any behind.
🫀 ORGANIC FORM By honouring the body’s cellular intelligence,
we create the potential for lasting change.
👁️ AUTHENTIC WITNESS Through breath, touch, and voice,
we remember how to truly meet and be met.
“Shaun held the space beautifully, guiding us in a way that adapted to the room, bringing safety and ease to whatever we experienced. I’ve incorporated aspects of the practice into my everyday. It’s inspired me! Thank you for bringing this into my life.”

For years, I lived from the neck up, numbing myself to feeling. I was proud of my armour: flaunting risk, my lack of limits… My path back to my body began with poetry, the patient art of grounding the senses. Through meditation, I sat in the sharp pain of the present and surrendered. Dancing barefoot around wood-fires, I became fluent in the language of skin, awakening to the quiet joys of touch. Researching living systems, I listened to the limits of other beings and slowly learned to honour my own. What started as personal healing evolved into a calling: holding spaces where others could reclaim their pleasure-wisdom for a more kind and embodied world.
My Path Back to Body 🫂
◼️ Where you might be now: ◼️
Caught in cycles of compulsive seeking and unfulling connection
Feeling disconnected from sensual pleasure except through performance
Carrying body shame that numbs you to your natural wisdom
Moving through relationships without ever being truly seen or known
🌌 Where this work can take you: 🌌
Into sustainable pleasure practices that nourish rather than deplete
Authentic expression beyond masks and expectation
Embodying the wisdom your body has always carried
Witnessed in the erotic playfulness you long for
“He began by really getting to know what I wanted and gently explaining the process – it was such a calm introduction. I felt held from the very start and my body felt at ease. I could not recommend Tantric Monkey more!”
