About Juke van der Scheer
Mission Statement
I provide educational sessions, both individually and in groups, focused on pelvic health and sexuality, helping individuals and couples explore their unique journeys at their own pace. By tuning into the body we can redefine boundaries, foster self-trust, and be open to new and positive experiences.
What is Somatic Sexology?
Somatic sexual education is the meeting point of somatics (developing awareness through the body) and sexology (the study of human sexuality).
It combines learning from groundbreaking research in neuroscience and psychology with embodied practices such as yoga, meditation, and breathwork. The emphasis is on movement, breath, touch, and sound, as these represent the language of the body.
Somatic sexual education helps you deepen your ability to feel your body and fosters greater awareness of what is happening within it.
Exploring your own sexuality can be a beautiful way to cultivate bodily awareness.
How do you experience pleasure, and how can you create more space for growth, choice, and play?
How can I apply this in the context of pelvic floor therapy?
It’s the combination of scientifically grounded physiotherapy knowledge (and protocols) with the client-centered approach of somatic education in sexuality, where feeling safe (or learning how to feel safe) is our top priority. Creating consent, learning to set boundaries, and “getting out of your head and into your body” are key elements. Every session is different, as every day is different with different sensations and needs. Together, we listen and learn what is useful to create new tools to rewire the autonomic nervous system towards a place of safety—where connection with yourself and others is healthy and able to grow.
