Eros Alchemy Sessions for Couples

Couples intimacy coaching, sacred sexuality, and somatic healing for soulful, ectstatic connection offered in Santa Monica, CA.

Whether you are just beginning to open new channels of connection, or are seasoned partners ready to deepen your bond, these sessions offer a space to explore your intimacy and erotic connection. To deepen your sexual relationship more fully, in body, heart, and soul.

I create a space where you can reconnect and shift how you relate to one another. Through the body, through presence, and through touch. We work with the patterns shaping your connection, including how you meet each other in desire and pleasure. So something new becomes possible between you.

Together, we explore:

  • Feeling safe to be real with each other

  • Expressing needs, boundaries, and desires with clarity and care

  • Giving and receiving touch that is attuned, nourishing, and alive

  • Meeting one another in vulnerability without losing yourself

  • Unwinding relational patterns that no longer serve your connection

  • Practicing new ways of being together, grounded in truth, trust, and choice

My approach blends somatic intimacy coaching, consent-based touch practices, and the deep intelligence of the nervous system to support emotional repair, erotic connection, and embodied trust. Sessions may include practices such as the Wheel of Consent, pleasure and erotic mapping, sacred sensual rituals, and, where appropriate, plant medicine. Always tailored to your unique dynamic and intentions.

This work supports couples in:

  • Reigniting or expanding sensual and erotic connection

  • Navigating differences in desire, boundaries, or communication

  • Healing ruptures and rebuilding trust

  • Deepening emotional and relational intimacy

  • Creating more sustainable, satisfying ways of being together

  • Reclaiming intimacy as an ongoing, embodied practice

Whether monogamous, open, poly, or undefined, every relationship holds its own intelligence. I welcome all lovers, in all configurations, to explore the unique alchemy that exists between them.

The 8 Pillars of Intimacy

Underneath everything we do together is a set of skills most couples were never taught.

I don't teach these as concepts. I teach them as lived practice, something you come to feel, inside your body and between each other.

Slowing Down. Pausing. Noticing. Accepting. Trusting. Valuing. Attuning. Communicating.

Simple on the surface. Confronting in practice.

Because these are the exact moments most couples lose each other. Speeding past what's actually being felt, dismissing signals, closing when things get vulnerable, performing instead of relating.

In our work together, we return to those moments.

We slow them down. We stay inside them. We practice remaining connected in real time, especially when it would be easier to pull away.

This is how trust rebuilds. This is how desire deepens. This is how intimacy becomes something you can actually sustain, together.

Over time, these become skills you carry into your relationship, your communication, your conflict, your sex, and your life. And they change how much pleasure you're able to share.

Are you ready to expand your erotic connection, discover what your body is truly capable of, and feel safe exploring and satiating your desires together?

The Container

I offer couples sessions on my own, as well as with my creative and life partner Rahi Chun.

We are the co-creators of Divine Union and are deeply honored to hold space for couples ready to transform their intimacy and connection.

When you choose to work with both of us, you are held by two practitioners at once attuning to each of you individually, and to the dynamic unfolding between you.

We offer an integrative path for couples ready to deepen intimacy, heal entrenched patterns, and embody new ways of loving through the body, the heart, and the nervous system.

Rahi is a somatic sex educator devoted to restoring sexual sovereignty, safety, and wholeness. He brings a depth of presence, technical mastery, and embodied knowledge drawing from modalities including NeuroAffective Touch, Chi Nei Tsang, Karsai Nei Tsang, TRE, the Wheel of Consent, Sexological Bodywork, and his internationally respected work in genital de-armoring. His expertise in early touch imprinting helps couples understand and shift the roots of their relational and erotic patterns.

I bring a deeply relational and embodied approach to intimacy woven from somatic practice, sexological bodywork, plant medicine, and years of study with Indigenous wisdom keepers. My work is rooted in emotional attunement and a nuanced understanding of the nervous system, sensing what is happening beneath words, in the body, and in the space between partners. I create relational containers where vulnerability feels safe and shame can soften, allowing new ways of relating to emerge.

Together, we hold a space that honors structure and flow, depth and play, technique and intuition. Whether working with one partner at a time or guiding shared practices, you are supported by two seasoned practitioners devoted to your connection, healing, and evolution as lovers.

This is more than a session. It’s a place where your relationship can shift, and something new can begin between you.

  • "The container that was set and held by Ariel and Rahi was solid, loving, caring and allowed me to go deep. I was able to find a new depth of connection with my beloved partially because of the container but also because of their connection with each other."

    John

  • "Ariel and Rahi's facilitation was a perfect blend of very high level of skill and expertise and a beautifully tender and inviting container. The tantric weaving between their energies was effortless and I believe it had expanded the container that much more. I felt deeply held in their presence from start to finish."

    Allana

  • "My partner and I had a very deep, intimate relationship prior to working with Ariel & Rahi - but this gave us so much more to play with."

    Lilly

  • "The container that Ariel & Rahi create is a very real, safe, practical and fun process for building intimacy."

    Don

  • "I'm a woman in my 70's. Ariel and Rahi helped me discover the depths of true sexual intimacy. I wish for the entire world to do this work, preferably before they reach my age. However, better late than never."

    Lucinda

  • "Working with Ariel and Rahi is just amazing.  Yes - there’s a sexual component, but for me, it’s been a road to intimacy with myself and my partner -  communication and safety, allowing for intimacy and slowing down…. It’s really about intimacy and connection"
