Join our internationally recognized, 500 hour professional Sex Coaching and Sex Education Certification for women & vulva owners who want to...
- Feel confident working as a sex coach and educator
- Deepen their skills in coaching, facilitation & embodiment
- Take a health-informed, trauma-aware approach to client work
-
Support clients to release shame, numbness, and disconnection
-
Discover the power of truly embodied coaching and facilitation
- Assist people to feel empowered in their pleasure and sexuality
There's so much oppressive
conditioning around sex & pleasure.
These are still taboo topics to talk openly about for most of us! So many people are confused, frustrated, and struggling with unfulfilling sex, a disconnection from their pleasure, and a lack of high quality education about this area of life.
But when we create a new culture around sexuality, everything changes.
It goes waaaay beyond what happens in the bedroom - it impacts our whole lives.
When we support clients to have a healthy relationship with their pleasure, they become more energised, confident, relaxed, and creatively inspired. People who feel fulfilled sexually are more present with their loved ones too.
As an Integrative Sex Coach & Educator, you'll be able to guide people to unravel old stories around shame and guilt, reclaim their pleasure, discover their orgasmic capacity, and access more satisfying partnered intimacy.
Working with our integrative methodology, you'll help your clients understand that great sex isn't just about having a quick orgasm.
The mainstream view on sex focuses on intense passion, going hard and fast towards the goal. Yet so many people are still feeling unfulfilled in this area!
What we don't learn is that cultivating a healthy relationship with our sexuality is about being present with ourselves and a partner, relaxing into deep states of pleasure, accessing curiosity and playfulness, and building sensitivity so that we can feel more over time.
In your Integrative Sex Coaching sessions, you’ll combine elements of embodiment, somatic enquiry, education and integrative coaching, guiding every client to feel empowered as a sexual being.
What people don't realise about sexual wellbeing is...
Our sexuality doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's impacted by so many different factors:
Our physical and mental health, the life stage we’re in, our relationship with pleasure and self care, our body confidence, our intimate relationships (and relating skills!), our emotional capacity, the shame or limiting beliefs we might be holding, and our level of understanding and education about these topics.
All of this needs to be considered if we want to take a holistic approach to sex coaching and education.
Sexual wellbeing includes...

When we started creating this program...
We noticed there was a big gap in the sexuality certifications available.
Most of the trainings out there have one of two orientations:
The spiritual trainings - with a focus on neo Tantric techniques, sacred sexuality, and energy healing. This pathway can be prescriptive, dogmatic, and doesn't usually appeal to people who aren't interested in spirituality.
The academic trainings - university level sexology studies are often dry and disembodied, missing the deeper somatic tools, relational and facilitation skills to confidently coach and facilitate this work.
The sex coaching & education field is still largely unregulated. So many industry “professionals” actually have very little training or experience and don't have the education they need to work safely with clients.
That's why we've created the most comprehensive yet holistic sex coaching certification out there.
We're blending the wisdom of Isabela Bottura (medical doctor and ObGyn), Bonnie Bliss (Somatic Sexologist), and 14 other industry leading experts to make this training truly the first of its kind.
We're so excited to share it with you!

About our work...
Nela
"Dr Isabela is so warm, down to earth, and authentic. She is so very well educated and an excellent teacher. I am in awe of all her professions, being a doctor and sex coach AND embodying all that she teaches."
Delaney
"So many people in the field of sexology and women’s pleasure focus on what is trendy, not what is necessarily beneficial or sustainable. Bonnie understands that pleasure is much more than a quick, commodified orgasm - she puts connection to oneself at the forefront. She is authentic, passionate, and insanely knowledgeable.”
Kyle
"Isabela is the real deal, y’all. I have learned so much from her and this course. I feel like a lot of it has been the 'missing piece' of what I learned in my sex coaching training. Highly recommend literally anything she offers!"

Meet the founders of
The Sexual Integration Institute
Dr Isabela Bottura & Bonnie Bliss
As the lead facilitators on the certification, we're beyond thrilled to share our training with you! We've developed this modality based on working with thousands of clients, both online and in person, and our extensive experience training and mentoring sex coaches and sexuality educators.
We're weaving together Dr Isabela's background as a medical doctor (ObGyn) and certified sex coach with Bonnie's background in embodiment and long term experience in the field as a somatic sexologist & sex educator to create a truly integrative approach to sex coaching and education.
Our work has been featured in...
Want to get a feel for the training?
Here's what graduates of our previous professional certifications had to say...
Seeing a sex coach can be vulnerable.
We need to be sensitive to our clients' individual needs and experiences.
That’s why we’ve invited trauma-informed expert, Amanda Patterson to teach on the certification. Amanda will offer training, regular live calls and practical tools for nervous system regulation throughout the program. She'll also guide us in how to work with clients in a trauma-informed way.
Want to know exactly what's inside the certification? (It's pretty exciting.)

Professional trainings can feel boring and dry...
Here's how we ensure the program feels easeful, embodied and alive:
Pleasure-Based Approach
Pleasure helps us become more present in our daily lives. You'll learn how to bring sensory pleasure into the way you engage with the program material, so you're more connected and enlivened as you explore - and so the learning process is waaay more enjoyable!
Experiential Learning
We're not going to start with months of personal exploration before learning how to work with clients. You'll get to practice new coaching skills from the very start of the program, building the confidence you need to work as a sex coach, even if you are brand new to this field.
Somatic Practices
You'll deepen your relationship with your body as you go through the program, expanding your capacity for sensation and becoming more resilient. You'll embody a wide range of transformative tools and practices that you’ll be able to use with your future clients.
Nurturing Community
Feeling like you're part of a community of practitioners supporting each other makes a huge difference in this field! We'll have lots of options to engage with the group in calls, pod groups and 1:1 accountability buddies so you don't feel like you're on your own.
Personalised Support
You'll be supported by a team of teachers who understand different learning styles and needs, celebrating you and giving you personalised feedback on your assessments as you step into this new career. You'll be able to ask questions and get the guidance you need.

Here's what we're adding to make it extra special for you...
A Bunch of Sexy Bonuses
For those who sign up in the Early Bird phase - you'll receive two carefully curated bonuses to help you prepare.
Firstly, a Sex Educator Resource Kit & then an exclusive five week program - Discovering Desires & Sexual Narratives. This program will be offered live from October to November 2024 - a great way to have a little taste of the work we'll do before the certification officially begins.
Practical Business Education
Running a business in the sexuality niche is a whole skill set to learn, so we want to make sure you have the tools you need.
Both Isabela and Bonnie are not-so-secret business nerds and love to share what they know about business systems, the weirdness of spicy content creation and how to grow a thriving business in the sexuality field. You'll meet other practitioners in the field and gain insights into running a business as a sex coach & educator.
International Accreditation & Insurance
Practicing under an accredited modality helps build trust and credibility with clients - and makes you eligible for insurance!
When seeking out practitioners, clients may look for things like accreditation & membership to professional bodies to see if someone seems legit. The Sexual Integration Institute is a registered training provider with the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, which is linked to an insurance provider.
High Quality Trauma-Informed Training
There's so little awareness around the nervous system and trauma in the sexuality field - but we're contributing to changing that!
We'll make sure you can recognise when a client is in fight, flight or freeze and know how to support them - or when to refer them to a trauma therapist. You'll also discover a range of tools for working with your own nervous system regulation to create a calm, grounded space for others - which makes a huge difference!
It's sounding pretty amazing, huh?
If you want all the tools you need to feel confident as a coach & educator in the sexuality field - not just the coaching & facilitation skills, but all the other important stuff too...
We'd love to hear from you!
Just fill out the application form and book a call with Dr Isabela or Bonnie - we'll answer all your questions and help you figure out if it's the right course for you.
