The key to deep intimacy, emotional balance, and physical vitality lies in relaxation. Most people move through life with a subtle, constant hum of tension in their bodies—an unconscious state of stress that disconnects us from the calm and balance our nervous systems are designed to live in.Imagine releasing this ever-present tension and creating space for clarity, connection, and a richer, more intimate experience with your partner. This workshop introduces anal mapping, a profound technique that dramatically relaxes and calms the nervous system, promotes holistic well-being, and enhances connection.
Rooted in the science of somatic healing, anal mapping is a practice I first learned from Dr. Ellen Heed during my Sexological Bodywork training. This technique directly engages the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your body responsible for rest, relaxation, and repair—by accessing a dense network of nerves in the anal tissue area. While the name may spark curiosity or surprise, this practice is both deeply effective and profoundly transformative, and is something that we use regularly for ourselves as well as with all of our private client immersions.
It is not “sacred spot” or “prostate massage”. While it may look similar, this technique goes very, very slow, and is more about holding areas that hold tension, and allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to respond. This results in a state of relaxation that most people have never experienced in their lives.
Many of us live in a state of chronic stress, keeping the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode. This tension impacts every facet of our lives—our health, energy, relationships, and ability to experience true intimacy and pleasure. Anal mapping offers a unique and powerful pathway to:- Reset your nervous system: Shift into deep relaxation and rest.- Cultivate safety and ease: Create a foundation for connection and well-being.- Unlock new dimensions of intimacy and pleasure: Explore how relaxation and body awareness enhance sensuality and connection.
1. Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief: Activates the vagus nerve, calming the nervous system and fostering emotional balance.
2. Enhanced Intimacy and Connection: Builds trust and vulnerability between partners, setting the stage for arousal and deep connection.
3. Improved Gut-Brain Health: Supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and enhances mood by regulating the gut-brain axis.
4. Trauma and Tension Release: Gently processes and releases stored physical and emotional trauma in the pelvic and digestive areas.
5. Expanded Pleasure and Awareness: The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for arousal. So by becoming more relaxed, the capacity for pleasure increases.
In this workshop, you will:- Learn safe, intentional, and gentle techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and release a cascade of organic relaxation hormones in the body.
– Experience guided practices to release tension, promote healing, and reset your nervous system.- Discover how to integrate this transformative practice into your relationship to foster relaxation, intimacy, and well-being.
This workshop is designed for couples and paired friends only, ensuring safety, trust, and comfort as you explore together. You will work exclusively with the person you came with throughout the experience.While we teach from a heteronormative perspective, we warmly welcome participants of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship styles.
This workshop is also tailored for professional bodyworkers and sex workers who are seeking to deepen their skill set and expand their practice. By mastering techniques that engage the parasympathetic nervous system, you’ll learn how to guide clients into profound states of relaxation, release stored tension, and promote holistic well-being. These methods not only enhance the therapeutic impact of your work but also create opportunities to build trust, connection, and emotional safety with those you serve.
This is more than a relaxation workshop—it’s an opportunity to transform how you experience safety, intimacy, and pleasure in your body and in your relationship. Together, we’ll move beyond the stress of daily life into a world of deep relaxation, trust, and connection.Let’s take this journey together. Your nervous system—and your relationship—will thank you.
