Who this is for
You’ve started to wonder what’s wrong with you. Sex feels like something that happens to you, not something you get to take part in. Touch, even your own, brings up shame before it brings up anything else, so you avoid it, or you go through the motions and call it fine. You’ve done the reading, the podcasts, maybe years of talk therapy. You understand your story now. You can explain it. And you still feel like a head floating somewhere above a body you don’t quite live in. You freeze when someone asks what you want. You freeze when you try to ask for it yourself.
What Changes
This work isn’t about understanding your body better, like you already do. It’s about re-teaching your body that sensation is safe to feel and easy to interrupt when it needs to be. Clients leave able to slow down and stay present while eating a meal, stay in a hard conversation instead of leaving the room, receive touch from a partner without going somewhere else in their head.
One client came in unable to ask for what she wanted in bed without apologizing first; months later, she described asking directly and staying in her body while she did it.

How We Work Together
We begin with tea. Before any rope, we sit together and go over what you shared in your intake form – your boundaries, what you’re hoping for, what you’re nervous about – and get used to being in a room with each other. Nothing is rushed toward.
From there we move into a short sensory meditation to bring your attention into the present and into your body, followed by slow, directional touch to help you settle before any rope goes on. Once your body is relaxed, the rope holds you in positions that let you feel what it’s like to take up space, and also to be held. You may laugh, cry, go quiet, or feel arousal – all of it is expected and none of it needs to be managed or explained in the moment. Other sensation work may be used alongside the rope to help wake up areas of the body that have gone numb.
We close with aftercare – the rope comes off slowly and intentionally, and you have time to integrate through a warm shower, journaling, talking, or just resting before you re-enter the rest of your day.
This is a 2–3 hour session, followed by a 30-minute integration call the following week.
$1,200 paid in full, or two payments of $650. Package options available on request.
What’s Included and What Isn’t
Touch in this session is one-directional. I am touching you, not the reverse, so you can practice fully receiving without having to perform or reciprocate. We typically wear minimal clothing for direct skin contact. Arousal and orgasmic release are welcome if they arise, but this is not a sexual session: it does not include yoni or lingam massage, and pleasure isn’t the goal so much as a possible byproduct of your body feeling safe.
About Me
I trained in yoga therapy and am currently studying sexology through the Somatica Institute. I’m also a survivor of sexual abuse, and for years there was a wide gap between what I understood intellectually about my body and what I could actually feel or enjoy. Learning to sense myself again – not think about myself, but truly sense myself – is what moved me out of numbness and self-sabotage and into a life I’m actually present for.
That gap is what I now help other people close.

Next steps
Reach out with a short note on what’s bringing you to this work, name/gender/age, and I’ll send you an intake form to fill out beforehand – it helps us use our time together well and lets me know how to hold the session for you.
“I didn’t know how much I needed to be held *with intention*. The way Jaque held, tied and caressed me during the session made me feel like I could really melt into her arms and safely relinquish control, a problem I have in my day to day life. She made sure to understand my needs, desires and boundaries.
Once the session began, I lost track of time completely and was transported to another place during this active meditation. I felt as if I was floating and was able to tap into the emotions of all women that have ever existed/ will ever exist especially the women of my lineage* and by taking time to heal myself in this way with Jaque I was healing them as well. A truly magical experience that can easily compare to a plan medicine ceremony. Everything from the music, to the setting and of course to Jaque ability to be an empty but receptive vessel was perfect!”
“I would recommend a sensual shibari session with Jaqueline without hesitation. She reminded me of how important and loved I am. Helped me to reconnect with myself, to feel and release so many emotions I was holding deep within. From worshipping myself in the mirror with tears running down my cheeks, to being held and gently caressed by Jaqueline, to screaming in anger for all the times I allowed myself to think I am unlovable or too much…it was all just a beautiful experience.
Jaqueline is so welcoming and creates such a beautiful safe space. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable in her aura. Since the session, I have continued to learn to reconnect with myself and to feel more confident and in love with myself. This was one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given to myself and so thankful for this experience!”
