Who i am
Hi, I’m Luna.
I’m a registered social worker and certified somatic sexologist with a passion for helping people navigate their sexual health and intimacy. With a strong background in both social work and somatic practices, I bring a holistic and empathic approach to my work, supporting my clients in understanding their unique needs and goals.
As a specialist in sexuality and sex-related issues, I work closely with my clients and their support teams, offering tailored, evidence-based guidance in a compassionate and respectful manner. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel empowered and confident in their sexual and intimate lives.
As well as the serious work of sexuality support and education, I also like to have a good old laugh, spend time in nature, and enjoy my newest hobby of wood carving.
what i offer
I provide a range of services tailored to the unique needs of each client. Whether you're seeking education, support with intimacy issues, or help addressing problem sexual behaviours, I can guide you through the process with empathy and professionalism.
1. Sexuality Education
I offer personalized education sessions to help you better understand your sexual health and intimacy needs. Topics can include everything from understanding physical changes to navigating relationships, sexual orientation, consent, and more.
2. Intimacy and Sexual Health Support
If you're experiencing challenges in your intimate life, I provide guidance and support to help you meet your emotional and physical intimacy needs. Whether you're exploring new ways of connecting or addressing barriers to intimacy, I'm here to help.
3. Support for Problem Sexual Behaviours
For individuals experiencing challenges with problematic sexual behaviours, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these behaviours, understand their underlying causes, and work towards healthier expressions of sexuality.
4. Somatic Sexology
As a certified somatic sexologist, I combine body-centred techniques with traditional therapeutic approaches to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, explore sensations, and promote healing in areas related to sexual health.
My Approach to Support
I understand that exploring and addressing sexual health concerns can be a sensitive and sometimes challenging experience. That's why I take a compassionate, client-centred approach to this work. This includes:
Confidentiality and Respect: Your privacy and comfort are my top priorities. All sessions are confidential (unless agreed or mandated otherwise), and I create a safe space for you to express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment.
Collaborative Process: I work closely with you, your support team, and any relevant professionals to create a personalised plan that best meets your needs and goals. Together, we can navigate any challenges you face and work towards meaningful change.
Flexible Sessions: Sessions can be held in-person, online, or via phone, depending on your preferences and needs. I offer flexible hours to accommodate your schedule.

What people are saying:
“When I first spoke to Luna on the phone I felt really safe to open up about where I'm at in the journey of self-discovery and healing. Luna is a wealth of knowledge and I've already learned so much from her in our first session. She is kind-hearted, patient and accepting. I appreciate her individualised approach to healing and look forward to more sessions.”
- Angela Brown
“Luna is an amazing human being with such an infectious smile. She is very respectful, energetic, and holistic. Her approach toward relationship and sexuality has just blown my mind. I have been suffering from troublesome physical relation with my partner for years. She has laid out a very comprehensive and easy-to-follow plan for me. And I have started to implement it. I am already reaping the fruit of doing the right thing from the very first attempt. I cannot thank Luna enough for her counselling. May she live long and help more people like me throughout her lifetime.”
- Mark Gray
“Luna is a grounded presence with whom I feel safe to explore my sexuality, and connect more deeply with myself. With her I am able to unpack concepts and conditioning around my sexuality, and use what I’ve discovered in our sessions to my friendships, intimate partnerships and the world around me. She’s given me a framework to understand myself, and I’m so grateful!”
