One Woman’s Journey from Sexual Disconnection
To Sexual Revelation & Empowerment
In my early forties, newly divorced and quietly unfulfilled after years of unsatisfying intimacy, I felt a restlessness I could no longer ignore. From the outside, my life in financial services looked stable. Inside, I felt disconnected—from my body, my desire, and a deeper sense of aliveness.
Booking a session for sensual massage with Colin at Intimacy Matters felt daring at the time. I arrived nervous, unsure of what I was truly seeking. What I experienced was far more than pleasure. It was attuned, intentional touch. It was being met without expectation. It was the profound exhale of feeling safe enough to soften.
That experience awakened something in me. I began volunteering as a sensual massage bodywork receiver for sensual massage trainees, allowing myself to explore touch in a conscious, embodied way. I discovered how transformative skilled, respectful touch can be—not performative, not transactional, but deeply human. I learned what it means to be held with presence.

Sensual Massage After Childbirth
Reclaiming the Woman, Not Just Recovering the Mother
A personal observation by Juliet Fisher
I have given birth to five children. Motherhood reshaped my body, my nervous system, my identity, and my relationship with intimacy. While I was fortunate to experience natural, water births, I know deeply that birth—however it unfolds—leaves a lasting imprint on a woman’s physiology, emotions, and sense of self.
Post-natal care often focuses on the first weeks or months. Yet the reality is that many women continue adjusting for years. Hormones fluctuate, sensation changes, fatigue accumulates, and identity subtly shifts.
Desire does not disappear—it often goes quiet, waiting for safety, rest, and permission. Sensual massage, when offered by a trained professional with clear boundaries and consent, can be profoundly healing during this longer arc of adjustment. This work is not about sexual performance or expectation. It is about restoring agency, trust, and choice to a body that has been needed, accessed, and relied upon. Read the full article. Click here
