Join us and Master the Art of Transformation Through Pleasure™.
Become an in-demand Sex & Relationship Coach
and watch your own life transform in the process.

We all want more pleasure in life — but few know the secrets to achieve it. Help from a professional is often the key to unlocking more enjoyable sex, intimate connections, and deeper relationships. That’s where you come in – by getting trained in the best sex and relationship coach training.

As a certified coach, you can help your clients increase intimacy, overcome relational barriers, and create a fulfilling life. But before you start making a difference for your clients through your own practice, you will need to enroll in a somatic sexology training program that gives you the tools and credibility to help others. 

Somatica Institute offers a prestigious pathway to certification for aspiring sex and relationship coaches. The training also provides tools to enhance the practices of already-licensed professionals. It’s our goal to empower you to embark on a profound educational journey that leads not only to professional certification but also to a more fulfilling and financially fruitful career.

What Is The Somatica Sex and Relationship Coach Training?

Using the latest neuroscience research that tells us how people grow, we developed the Somatica Method – a holistic, experiential, and pleasure-based approach to sex and relationship coaching.

Through the certification program, you learn to use the Somatica Method to help your clients better express their emotional needs, move past shame, and live more connected and erotic lives.

Who Should Enroll?

This training is designed for you – whether you’re interested in fulfilling a lifelong career goal or enhancing your current therapy or coaching practice. You will also experience transformation in your own relationships. 

Aspiring Sex and Relationship Coaches

Do all of your friends reach out to you for sex and relationship advice? Our program provides you with the necessary tools to take your interpersonal skills and interests to the next level.

At the Somatica Institute, you will move through a comprehensive sex coach certification process, which will prepare you to help clients make meaningful changes to their relationships in the real world. As a graduate, you are also eligible to receive the sexologist certification from the American Board of Sexology (ABS)

  • Core curriculum (modules 1-6): The core curriculum will take you on a journey of personal transformation and self-awareness – to be a masterful coach, you need to know how it feels to expand your growing edges. You will also solidify your skills and confidence as a coach and learn how to build and maintain a successful practice. Throughout, you’ll learn essential tools to help your clients deepen emotional and sexual connection, overcome sexual dysfunctions, and learn empowered dating.

Specializations include such topics as Body Image, Sexual (Dys)function, LGBTQIA+, Sexuality Across the Ability Spectrum, Empowered Dating, Sexuality Across the Life Span, and Relationship Design.
  • Bonus Marketing and Supervision Groups: During the 6 months after you finish the Core training, you can attend optional marketing and supervision groups, which offer more personalized time with the founders. You can receive ample additional support in business and marketing as well as client supervision.
  • Advanced Curriculum (modules 7 & 8): The advanced curriculum will solidify the essential Somatica coaching skills and deepen your confidence as a coach. You will prepare for your certification exam and be ready to work with whatever client comes through your door!

Dr. Recommend Somatica
Steve, MD - Online Somatica Training Graduate, 2020

I want to express my deepest personal and professional gratitude to the both of you. I am sincerely blown away by the profound impact my experience with the Somatica modules have had on me personally, in my relationship with my wife, and with my patients in my primary care practice.

Simply put, you have changed my life.

For the first time ever, I am truly getting to know myself and my wife, and to see a much more enjoyable way to serve my patients through what you have taught me in Somatica. I cannot envision a time in my life when I will not be living out of, teaching, or be connected to Somatica.
