Somatic, Relational & Sexual Alchemy

Sacred Sexuality &
Psychedelic Practitioner

I work with pleasure and plants

Guiding you into intimacy you can actually feel—through the body.

So intimacy stops being something you seek and becomes something you inhabit.

Ariel Szabo, sacred sexuality and somatic healing practitioner, seated on a patterned rug in a colorful dress—embodying intimacy coaching, plant medicine wisdom, and embodied feminine leadership.

I’m Ariel—a somatic guide, sacred sexuality practitioner, and psychedelic therapist.

This work is rooted in two core pathways: the body’s natural intelligence and the expanded states that reveal what’s been hidden.

In this work, we move with what’s actually happening in your body. This might include:

Pleasure based, body-led sessions that soften patterns and open your capacity to feel, receive, and trust.

Intimacy coaching that brings truth into your voice and connection into your relationships.

Sacred touch & sexual healing that restores your relationship to pleasure, desire, and worth.

Relational & erotic re-patterning that shifts the dynamics you keep repeating.

Plant medicine ceremony that opens, reveals, and integrates.

You belong here.

Not because you’re broken.

Because something in you is ready to stop repeating what no longer works.

Eros is the life force moving through you.

The current of creation, expression, and aliveness in your body.

When you release the patterns that guard against it, when shame begins to soften,
when you come into relationship with it

everything changes.

Pleasure deepens.
Joy returns.
Life begins to feel like something you are inside of.

  • "Ariel’s work is truly so skillful, attuned, transformative, and ecstatic. She has traveled all the realms she invites you into and really offers equistite mastery. Many lucky particpants in her offerings and in her hands."

    Michael

  • "Ariel has an incredibly intuitive, caring touch, and she knows how to use that touch to soothe your inner child while also drawing out your sexiest, most empowered self. With compassion and gentleness, she created a safe-enough container for me to re-process some deep, old trauma wounds, and to heal parts of myself I didn’t think I would ever heal."

    Katherine

  • "Working with Ariel provided me a powerful somatic experience that traditional talk therapy couldn’t provide, and it has helped me start to break down the harmful self-narratives I’ve been telling myself to avoid seeking out intimacy. Our session together also resulted in something very unexpected but also very welcome. I found myself no longer interested in using porn as a means to achieve self-pleasure, because I had been shown a much more fulfilling and tender version of eroticism through working with Ariel.

    Brett

  • "Since working with Ariel I feel more alive, like my body is now an open vessel to experience joy and pleasure in a way I haven’t before. My heart feels expansive, radiating love, and my mind is no longer consumed by doubt or control. Spiritually, I’ve reawakened my divine feminine essence—the part of me that embodies flow, creativity, and nurturing. I feel more balanced and in harmony with myself, as if my inner wisdom has been unlocked and is guiding me with grace."

    Lauren

  • "Ariel - words can truly not capture the gratitude I feel. The depth and intimacy of the healing you midwifed in me is so profound. And reached places no other therapy could reach. We de-shamed desire. De-shamed pleasure. De-shamed the body. Healed a pre-verbal hungry ghost state of sexualized deprivation. I came to you fragmented and on the brink of a break up. You have officially saved my marriage and helped make me whole."

    Matt

  • "With Ariel's support I've undergone immense healing around my relationship to my body, my wants and needs, sexuality, touch, and women. Our work together was able to touch deep and vulnerable layers of my being that no other form of therapeutic support has been able to. I left feeling more confident and liberated in my body, my relationships and my sexuality."

    Esteban

  • "I have grown into myself more in the past year than I could have possibly imagined. I didn’t know how much my heart could expand…while also establishing much needed boundaries. I feel more at home and at peace within my body and soul that I ever have. I’m no longer afraid of my grief or pleasure and being seen in those depths. Thank you Ariel - for holding the limitless space to allow me to feel, heal, and be seen through it all."

    Jenn

  • "Ariel is a midwife of the soul, creating deeply needed space for you to not only sit with your feelings and sensations but gently explore and move through the root cause. I cannot sing her praises enough! She has a brilliant, nurturing energy that soothes your mind, calms your heart and calls your spirit home."

    Annetta

  • "The work Ariel does is powerful and grand. After just six sessions, she has undeniably forever changed my life. Her empathy, kindness, compassion, authenticity, and ability to provide sacred space and witness have deeply impacted my soul. I discovered a whole story that has been carved like tree rings into my being. I am starting to learn what my body needs and how to listen to her without judgment. I am excited to explore her and keep listening to her."

    Leila

  • "Ariel holds a warm, accepting, welcoming sacred space that allowed me to get in touch with my own abilities and preferences for processing and integrating experiences from across my whole lifetime. The gentle, curious, and client-honoring sessions allowed me to access and work with parts of my own system I was completely unconscious of before. Exploring the topics of culture, conditioning, consent, and desire in a holistic and embodied way has allowed me to feel more clarity, capacity, and calm than I ever thought possible."

    Kathleen

  • "Ariel skillfully incorporates a juicy variety of perspectives into her work, making her a versatile practitioner. She held my trauma and tender wounds with such compassion and understanding. I learned so many new things about myself along this journey: tangible knowledge about consent, boundaries and my desire; greater awareness of how my history comes into play in my current relationships; and embodied practice in the skills and presence I want to bring to my life, my relationships with others, and myself."

    Leia

  • "Ariel is non-judgmental, warm, peaceful, and safe. She is a great listener and really able to understand where I’m coming from. Her counseling skills are extremely keen and her feedback is honest, clear, and supportive. The work we do feels really healing, empowering, and magical."

    Rosa

  • "My time with Ariel shifted my relationship with myself, the Divine Feminine, and my body. It is a sweet reminder of my capacity to heal and my worthiness that undergrids my work in the world and deeply nourishes me."
