Sarah Brekke - Owner
Hi, I’m Sarah, and I’m so glad you’re here.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by intimacy, connection, relationships, and sex. Even before I had language for it, I was drawn to the question of what helps people feel close, alive, desired, and fully themselves in relationship.
My path here wasn’t a straight line. I originally followed my love of science, earning a degree in Culinary Science and a Master’s in Food Science with a focus in sensory analysis. For more than 14 years, I developed and tested recipes for major magazines, blending creativity, curiosity, and a deep interest in human experience.
I’m also a wife and a mother to an amazing little boy, and those parts of my life have deepened the way I understand love, partnership, identity, and the constant evolution of intimacy. Being in long-term relationship and moving through the realities of motherhood have only made me more passionate about creating spaces where people can talk honestly about desire, disconnection, change, tenderness, and the complicated beauty of being human together.
But life has a way of calling us toward the work we’re meant to do.
My own experiences navigating relationships, healing, intimacy, and self-discovery eventually led me to the Somatica® Institute, where I trained as a relationship, intimacy, and sex coach. From the moment I discovered the Somatica Method, something clicked. I knew this was the direction I was meant to go.

Sexuality matters.
Intimacy matters.
Feeling connected to yourself and your desires matters.
When sex feels painful, confusing, shut down, disconnected, or hard to talk about, it can touch so many parts of life — your confidence, your relationship, your identity, your sense of aliveness. And yet so many people carry these struggles quietly, with shame, fear, or the belief that they’re just supposed to figure it out on their own.
I don’t believe that.
I believe pleasure, connection, and authentic intimacy are deeply important parts of being human. I believe these parts of life deserve care, attention, curiosity, and support. I also believe that healing and change are possible — not through perfection, but through honesty, compassion, embodiment, and practice.

My work is rooted in the Somatica® Method, a mind-body approach that helps clients slow down, tune into their emotions and sensations, and build deeper intimacy with themselves and others. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, fears, and protective strategies that may be shaping your relationship to sex, desire, pleasure, communication, and connection.
This work is not about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you better understand yourself, release shame, expand your capacity for intimacy, and move toward a more connected, honest, and satisfying erotic life.
I especially love supporting clients around:
low or changing desire
sexual disconnection
postpartum intimacy and identity shifts
sexual confidence and self-expression
pleasure and body connection
communication around sex, needs, boundaries, and fantasies
relationship design and nontraditional relationship structures
intimacy impacted by stress, resentment, overwhelm, or life transitions
While I can support couples and relationship dynamics, my work is especially centered on the places where sexuality and intimacy are asking for attention.
-
I bring warmth, humor, honesty, and deep care to this work. I know these conversations can feel vulnerable, tender, and sometimes a little awkward at first. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are — messy, curious, scared, hopeful, shut down, wanting more — and be met without shame.
I’m not interested in surface-level advice or one-size-fits-all answers. I’m interested in helping you find what is true for you and supporting you in building a more connected relationship with your body, your sexuality, your desires, and the people you love.
-
I offer support through:
Individual sexuality coaching
Couples intimacy coaching
Transformation packages for deeper, ongoing work
Workshops and group experiences
Reiki and other supportive offerings
If you’re feeling the pull to explore your sexuality, reconnect with intimacy, or create more honesty and aliveness in your relational life, I’d love to support you.
Let’s start there.
If you’re ready to explore what’s possible in your relationships, intimacy, and self-discovery, I’d love to support you on your journey. Let’s start this conversation together.
FAQs

Unfortunately, coaching services are not currently covered by insurance. Many clients choose to pay out of pocket, and some use pre-tax funds through HSAs or FSAs if their provider allows. I’m happy to provide invoices or documentation upon request so you can check with your plan.

The Somatica® Method is an experiential, body-based approach to intimacy and personal growth. Instead of focusing only on talking about issues, Somatica uses mindful awareness, emotional attunement, and real-time practice to help you explore your desires, patterns, and relational dynamics in a safe, connected space.
This approach emphasizes personal agency, pleasure, boundaries, and authentic communication—so you can create the kind of relationships and intimacy you truly want. -

I work with individuals and couples navigating:
Postpartum intimacy, identity shifts, and relationship changes
Sexual disconnection or desire discrepancies
Communication breakdowns and conflict cycles
Exploring non-traditional relationship structures (e.g., open relationships, polyamory, relationship design)

I also love supporting people who simply want to deepen their connection—with themselves or their partners.

Therapy often focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions or processing trauma in the past. Coaching focuses on the here and now, helping you build skills, deepen intimacy, and move toward your goals.
I take a trauma-informed, somatic, and relational approach, and I often collaborate with therapists as part of a holistic support team. -
Yes! Sessions are available both in person at my Bondurant office and virtually via Zoom - so you can choose what works best for your lifestyle and location.

You can begin with a free connection call to see if we’re a good fit. From there, we’ll decide on a coaching package that aligns with your goals.
-
Yes! My coaching packages are designed to give you the level of support that fits your goals.
The Formula package includes 1 email check-in per week, so you can ask quick questions, share updates, or get brief guidance as you integrate new tools.
The Quantum Shift package includes up to 3 emails per week, offering more touchpoints and deeper ongoing support between sessions.
Email support is a great way to keep momentum going and stay connected while you work on real-life situations. It’s not meant to replace full sessions, but it ensures you’re not navigating everything alone between appointments.
I typically respond to emails within 1–2 business days, so you’ll receive thoughtful guidance without long delays.

While à la carte sessions are a great way to get a feel for the work, meaningful transformation usually happens over time - not in a single conversation.
Packages offer several key advantages:
Consistency: Regular sessions create momentum and accountability, allowing us to go deeper and make lasting changes.
Integration: With built-in support between sessions (depending on the package), you’ll have guidance as you practice new tools in real life.
Commitment to yourself: Choosing a package signals that you’re ready to prioritize your relationship with yourself, your partner(s), and your goals. That level of commitment is often what unlocks real, lasting transformation.
If you’re ready to create meaningful change, a package is almost always the best choice.
