Frequently Asked Questions
What is erotic wholeness?
Erotic Wholeness is Darshana’s signature holistic approach to somatic sex and intimacy coaching. Drawing from diverse disciplines and influences, this path invites you to understand eroticism as tantamount to life force energy and consider how you can be most alive and full expressed in all areas.
Where intimate relating is concerned, Erotic Wholeness focuses on inviting more pleasure, ease and connection into your body and your relationships. The core values woven into Erotic Wholeness – trauma informed, nature based and justice oriented – make it a unique pathway that will enhance not just your sex life but your whole life.
what does somatic mean?
Somatics centers on the wisdom of the body (soma) rather than the mind (psyche) as is typical of many aspects of western culture.
what does darshana offer?
Private immersions, ongoing series, self-guided courses and group programing, all focused on a truly holistic exploration of eroticism, ranging from relationships, sex and intimacy to creativity, purpose and activism.
These transformational journeys provide a supportive, nurturing environment for people to get in touch with their erotic nature and experience the depth of true intimacy with themselves and all they hold dear.
who are darshana's offerings for?
My clients are primarily cis-women as well as non-binary folks who were assigned female at birth (AFAB). I offer space to both individual and couples who are looking to feel more connected to their sensual and sexual selves, experience deeper intimacy and reinvigorate their relationships. Those who are interested in the wider scope of eroticism and how it influences every facet of life (creativity, purpose, activism, etc) are wonderful fits.
There is no single reason why people pursue this healing paths, yet some of the common ones include:
- learning in a direct, embodied way about your sexual response and pathways to pleasure
- healing from relational, developmental or physical trauma
- inspiring deeper intimacy and growth within an existing relationship
- gaining a greater sense of confidence, clarity, pleasure and purpose from the bedroom to the boardroom and beyond
is the hands on work that darshana does legal?
Yes. As a certified sexological bodyworker in the state of California, Darshana is able to practice her work and create a hands-on environment with clients. As a coach, she’s able to guide her clients through a variety of sexual explorations with complete client consent.
what kind of counseling is included in erotic wholeness sessions?
First we identify your intentions for this exploration, while establishing trust and a nurturing rapport. From there we delve into the frustrations and blocks standing between you and your thriving. As we uncover the issues that you seek to transform in your intimate life, you’ll be given reflections and practices to support meaningful change. Guidance may include breath, visualization, movement and touch in addition to conversational components. My role is to act as the secure anchor to guide you through your journey.
what happens in a whole bodywork session?
Bodywork sessions include both an educational and experiential component designed around the client’s goals and intentions. In a bodywork session, the client may be unclothed and have their genitals touched or stimulated. However, there is absolutely no expectation or obligation to engage in this way. All activities only unfold when informed, enthusiastic and ongoing consent is given by the client. Sessions are rooted in steadfast standards of integrity and professionalism to provide you with safety and confidence. Together, you and I explore at a pace that is gentle enough for you to stay present, and advanced enough to foster growth within the process.
are clients expected to be naked during sessions?
No disrobing is required for coaching sessions. Clients may choose to be naked for bodywork sessions. All bodywork sessions are in line with a code of ethics that Darshana follows as Certified Sexological Bodyworker.
