Facilitating Intimate Connections

A passion for vulnerability
Welcome to the Intimacy Initiative- your invitation to deepen your relationship with emotions, S3Xuality & communication.
There is a collective craving for intimate conversation and the space to feel seen and understood in our most authentic selves.

With a constantly expanding toolbox of connective techniques, you’ll practice vulnerable communication & embodiment in a confidential & consent focused manner.

“Traeh is an exceptional facilitator, curating a rare opportunity to feel completely safe while nudging comfort zones in the way that personal growth requires. She expertly guided the room through helpful exercises which were clearly explained, done at our own pace, and which resulted in helpful insights. Ngā mihi nui, I am looking forward to the next one!”
your circle of cushions,
your table of displays,
where no head claims the space.
I feel your embrace,
the warmth of connection,
and most of all,
I see you smile.
Thank you for a wonderful evening,
for opening the door
to intimate communication,
where every heart feels at home.”

“This project has grown from my heart & community support since its inception while sitting on a couch with friends in Otago in 2019. Conversation sparked around our individual relationships & experiences with S3Xual exploration, and I found myself surrounded by a plethora of experiences and preferences. This ignited my curiosity to co-create more safe spaces for myself and my peers to talk openly about our most intimate thoughts & vulnerabilities, and I have been striving to facilitate these conversations ever since.
My background training in trauma informed massage therapy, breathwork facilitation & language re-patterning techniques combine to create a unique & intentional facilitation skillset that is my deep joy to share with the world. I thrive on your feedback & reflections to continue learning how to build safety for vulnerable expressions of emotions, nervous system regulation & the deepening discovery of our relationships with S3Xual exploration.”
