Sex and Relationship Coach, Somatic Sexologist,
Body Poem Practitioner ™ & Relational bodyworker
Practicing in Lisbon + Algarve, Portugal.
Hi, I am Julian,
I work as a relational bodyworker and somatic coach, supporting individuals, couples, and groups — online and in person to reconnect with their bodies and navigate intimacy, sexuality, and pleasure with greater ease, awareness, and presence.
Much of what brings people to this work isn’t something that can be solved through effort or insight alone. Our bodies carry histories, adaptations, and protective patterns that often show up most clearly in intimacy and connection. Rather than trying to override those patterns, I support you in meeting them with curiosity and care, and in building the capacity to stay present with what you’re feeling.
My approach has grown out of years of hands-on practice, study, and close attention to how bodies respond in relational space — especially when there’s no pressure to do things “right.” I’m less interested in techniques or outcomes, and more interested in helping you develop a trusting relationship with your own sensations, boundaries, and impulses.
This work is also shaped by my own lived experience of navigating trauma, relationships, and intimacy, and of slowly relearning how to listen through my body and nervous system. That path continues to inform how I work: with respect for your pace, sensitivity to capacity, and an understanding that meaningful change happens when the body feels met, not pushed.
Outside of my professional life, I’m a father, partner and lover, a dog and cat companion, a nature and photography enthusiast, and a lifelong student. All of this feeds into my commitment to supporting connection in a culture that often pulls us toward disconnection — and to creating spaces where you don’t have to hold everything on your own.
I welcome people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and relationship configurations into this work.
