somatic sex education
hi there! i'm em steinberg.
explore and celebrating your erotic potential
getting clearer about your needs, boundaries and desires
embodying your own version of sexuality and eroticism
i also offer sex-positive workshops & research containers. for more information on these, follow my telegram channel. if you’d like me to give a workshop, use the contact form.
the sessions
the sessions i offer are client-led, trauma-informed and centred around your agency and pace. the contained environment, mindful pace and continuous communication of a session allow for emotions to come up and be held ~ ones that might stay hidden in other settings.
in hands-off sessions, we’ll explore themes and topics that are on your heart/mind/genitals, and observe what happens in your body ~ physically, emotionally, erotically, energetically. this could serve as great preparation for hands-on work, or we could also have an entire process hands-off.
we focus on staying within your window of tolerance, allowing you to learn & expand without overwhelming your system.
over the course of one session or more, we can work with a wide range of modalities:
~ wheel of consent exercises
~ self-pleasure coaching
~ anal, genital & body mapping & massage
~ pleasure exploration, scar tissue massage
a longer process can often be supportive in allowing trust & understanding to build.
who can work with me?
everyone is welcome.
i am excited to work with people of trans~inter~queer identities, BIPoC and people with chronic illness. i wish to work with people whose bodies and sexualities stand in the margins of sexual ”norms”.
it's important for me to say that though i work trauma-aware, i am not a trauma therapist. if trauma symptoms are particularly present in your everyday experience, i would happily refer you to a trusted colleague who might be a better fit at this point in time.
i offer my sessions in english ~ in neukölln, berlin.
who is giving the sessions?
i am white, assigned jewish at birth, transfemme, endosex, able-bodied, neurodivergent, with personal experiences of trauma.i use she/they/em pronouns.
i am slow and i am soft and i take pride in those two things
i am fascinated by the intersection of sexuality, spirituality and identity. i believe that pleasure can be nourishing, healing, liberating, connective, transformative.
besides being a sexological bodyworker (certified by the institute for somatic learning, sexuality and bodywork in berlin) and a sex-positive facilitation, i’m a drummer and a graphic designer.
testimonials
pricing
a 30-minute introduction call is free.
the sessions i give are currently donation based, with suggested donations according to the following sliding scale:
“i’m comfortably able to meet my basic needs, i have a stable home, a good paid job, access to health care, a western passport, access to financial saving, i can afford holidays, maybe a heritage coming.”
“i meet my basic needs most of the time. i have an irregular housing and work situation, but still get access to health care, state support and solidarity networks. i can afford vacation and have some expandable income.”
“i’m stressed about meeting my basic needs and frequently don’t. i have debt or support people around me. i have very unstable work and housing situations, limited/no access to health care and state support. i cannot afford vacation or unplanned small expenses.”
this is a solidarity system: the higher prices compensate for the lower ones. take your time to assess your current situation within the scale. if you have a stable source of income, please do consider giving more so i can continue offering this work to those who don't. if your situation changes, we can talk about it and reajust.
cancellations
especially in my line of work, i see agency as sacred ~ a client's ability to choose is important to me. i also understand that the possibility of cancelling commitments can help cultivate a sense of safety within them.
however, my time and energy are also sacred. when we schedule a session, i block out the time not just for the session itself, but also for mental and physical preparation, preparation of the space, etc. in case you cancel less than 24 hours before the session, i will ask you to pay for the session.
hear about your intention
and try and answer any questions you might have.
with this information,
we can figure out if
we’re a good fit for working together
and schedule a session.
i also offer sex-positive
workshops & research containers.
