Intimate Bodywork Practitioner Training Programme

Professional Certification: 9 month course

A professional, trauma-informed pathway to offering embodied touch sessions – including full-body and genital massage – with integrity and skill.

This professional training teaches you how to hold space for another person’s body, boundaries, and erotic energy in a way that is empowering rather than performative. The course is built with a strong emphasis on consent, boundaries, embodiment, practical development and self-reflection. Whether you’re a bodyworker, coach, therapist, or someone called to work more consciously with sexuality and intimacy, this course offers a grounded and insurable route into professional practice, in an exciting and rewarding career.

A 9 month blended programme of virtual classes, independent study, in-person weekend workshops, reflective practice and client case studies will cover…

• Professional Touch Skills
• Ethics & Hygiene Standards
• Consent & Boundaries
• Anatomy & Physiology
• Professional Practice & Business

Upon successful completion of this training, students will be qualified to work as an Intimate Bodywork Practitioner, with eligibility for insurance and professional membership with The Association for Professional Therapists & Practitioners (FOYHT).

Graduates will have demonstrated the knowledge, skills, and ethical responsibility required to offer safe, professional, client-centred bodywork that supports emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, and the embodied awareness and exploration of relaxed pleasure.
