Become an Intimacy Educator
A sacred path of healing, pleasure, and erotic community
This online course is an invitation to deepen your own erotic well-being, reconnect with the wisdom of your body, and explore sacred intimacy as a personal and relational practice.
You can take this course for your own healing. You can take it with friends, to grow your erotic community. Or you may be called to offer this work professionally, and earn a soulful, pleasure-based livelihood.
Wherever you begin, you’ll be guided with depth, tenderness, and skill.
You’ll learn to support yourself and others in:
• Practicing empowered voice and choice
• Understanding the neural learning zone
• Healing from sexual trauma and neglect
• Cultivating erotic wellness and joy
You’ll learn to offer and receive:
• Trauma-informed touch
• Sensual and erotic massage
• Genital mapping, massage, and de-armouring
• Transformative, pleasure-based ritual
The course includes one-to-one email and Zoom support from Caffyn Jesse—an award-winning teacher and pioneer in the field of sacred intimacy and somatic sexual wellness. (Please complete the program before Caffyn retires in September 2026).
New: Self-Guided Option: For access to the full curriculum—all videos, practices, and teachings—but without email or Zoom support from Caffyn, use the Coupon Code SELFGUIDED for 50% Off!
This option is ideal if you prefer to explore the material on your own or with a friend, without the one-to-one mentorship component. No certificate is available with this option.

How to Touch
Building a vocabulary of touch and integrating the erotic at the pace of trust
Caffyn says, "I am interested in touching souls, and being touched in ways that welcome other souls. I know that souls can be lost, and also loved into what is deeply true. I celebrate the erotic, and - from the inside – I know about trauma, shame, violences and silences we are trained to endure in the erotic realm. When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy. I want to touch and be touched in ways that honour this."


Who is this program for?
This training welcomes people from many walks of life—healers, seekers, caregivers, rebels. Some arrive with a clear professional calling. Others come simply to heal, or to touch and be touched with more reverence and joy.
Some people take this course with no plan to become Intimacy Educators. They come to nourish their own erotic well-being, to heal from sexual trauma or neglect, or to learn how to give and receive loving touch within a community of care.
This course has roots in the world of sex work. It was first offered as a professional development program for fellow sex workers—those already working with erotic energy, who wanted more support to amplify the healing power of their work while staying grounded in their boundaries and brilliance.
I welcome health care practitioners—counsellors, psychotherapists, massage therapists, yoga teachers, psychedelic guides—who feel that something vital is missing from their formal training. In most of the helping professions, eroticism is exiled. Touch is taboo. Yet these are the very places where life wants to come back in.
This program teaches people how to welcome the erotic with integrity, so we can make our work—and our lives—more joyful, more ethical, more alive.
Whatever your path, the course is designed to meet you where you are. You’re invited to move at your own pace, follow your own longing, and shape your learning in a way that feels true to you.
