What Does an Intimacy Coach Do?

An intimacy coach unlocks the doors to a deeper, more meaningful connection with your partner. They provide tailored guidance to navigate the intricate dance of emotional and physical closeness. Intimacy coaches delve into attachment styles and relational dynamics, fostering a nurturing environment for your  personal growth. By enhancing emotional intelligence and intimacy skills, they equip you to cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

How Does Intimacy Coaching Work?

Because intimacy is something we learn as children, many of us grow up without positive experiences around physical or emotional closeness, and therefore don’t feel safe engaging in that as adults. In your session, your coach will help you practice with different kinds of closeness, teaching you to feel safe, and helping you to rebuild intimacy from the ground up.

How Much Do Intimacy Coaches Charge?

Rates can vary, depending on geographic location, depth of experience, and specialization. For example, a Somatica-Certified coach in South Carolina might charge $150 for an hour and fifteen minutes, while a coach with a similar skill set in the Bay Area might charge between $250 and $300 for the same session. Please inquire directly with the coach you’d like to work with. 

How Do I Pick the Best Coach For Me? 

In choosing a coach, it’s important to decide on a specific expertise you feel will best fit you. A Somatica coach, for example, works with emotional and physical intimacy, as well as sexual dysfunction issues. Many intimacy coaches are also further specialized as trauma informed coaches, embodiment coaches, or marriage coaches.

Often, people also prefer to work with a coach of a specific gender identity, race, or sexual orientation. Our directory offers female, male, nonbinary, trans, LGBTQIA, and BIPOC coaches.

And while many coaches are seeing clients online, if it’s important for you to see your chosen practitioner in person, you can find an intimacy coach near you in our location-based directory.
