Jess DeVries is a queer somatic sex coach, sexological bodyworker and grief worker. She primarily serves the queer/trans community supporting folks in reclaiming body autonomy and to inspire curiosity about pleasure and sexual expression including expanding possibilities of what sex can be and guiding folks to define and pursue pleasure on their own terms.
She is a grief advocate who regularly facilitates spaces for people to grieve, inviting the wisdom of the body to guide the grief process. She understands that there is a deep kinship between pleasure and grief and believes that they both deserve to be tended as full experiences of our humanity.
Jess provides 1:1 sessions in NE Portland, online, or by phone. She also facilitates workshops and grief circles online for queer folks, ex-Christians, and Covid conscious communities.
When she is not thinking about how erotic embodiment and tending grief will save the world, she likes to make soup, have her hands in dirt, and watch the birds fly across the Portland sky.

Perhaps you’ve been through a lot and parts of you have shut down. Maybe you want to feel more connected to your body again, more connected to life. You might sometimes wonder who you truly are - the you who is free of conditions, “norms", expectations, perceived identities; the stuck version of you that even YOU uphold.
Meet Kaeb! They are a queer nonbinary neurodivergent bodyworker who is passionate about helping you feel at home in your body & open to the intimacy that you desire. At Somasoul Healing, Kaeb supports you in feeling your body, trusting your body, and reclaiming your body to better understand your pain and experience more pleasure. By helping you feel and move your emotions and clearly know your yeses and noes through somatic sense, it becomes more possible for you to unlock your innate body-based wisdom and move from an empowered state of being.
Imagine if bodywork could be like therapy, returning with regularity to move through it layer by layer - recruiting not only your mind, but also your body, on your healing journey. Kaeb's sessions are designed to traverse these layers at the pace of your bodymind and trust, so by committing to regular sessions you will relearn the language of your body, reintegrating body and mind into a unified whole and building a foundation of self trust.
One of Kaeb's somatic specialties is Internal Pelvic Attunement, a pelvic health modality that combines Cranialsacral Therapy, gentle somatic holds, and therapeutic touch inside of the pelvic bowl. By bringing presence to the pelvic bowl, with consent from both the mind and the body and without a sexual or medical agenda, somatic and emotional patterns are free to unwind and heal. This approach addresses a wide range of symptoms and experiences including sexual trauma, gender embodiment, pelvic pain, and loss of sensation and supports recovery post pelvic surgery and childbirth, encouraging a more deeply rooted stability in somatic awareness and self expression.
Kaeb feels called to work with queer and transgender folks, as well as people who are healing sexual trauma, navigating chronic pain, &/or unmasking neurodivergence and welcomes all who feel drawn to their approach. They aim to meet you right where you are.

Are you seeking a nourishing erotic life? Do you seek more connection yet feel blocked? Do you desire a better relationship with your body and all the pleasure it can offer?
Carlene is a surrogate partner who views relationships as a vehicle for transformation. As such, our work together involves mutual transparency, vulnerability, communication, and sometimes conflict to deepen our relationship and explore our growth edges together. Exploring our growth edges is the guide for our emotional and erotic learning.
I am passionate about untangling our social conditioning to reveal our most authentic selves so that we may share that self with others emotionally and sexually.
Activities that nourish me are dancing and creative movement, tending to my overabundant house plant collection, noticing the sensations I’m experiencing as I pet my tuxedo kitty, Turbo, and likely reading a queer cozy fantasy book.

Are there parts of you that feel hidden or unexplored? Curious about one-on-one somatic work?
Jade is a queer + trans intimacy coach and somatic sex educator, working with gender creatives, queers and folx under the LGBTQ+ rainbow. They use trauma-informed touch, live music, movement, nature and play to help unwind blocks to intimacy. Tracking the imprints of oppression, ancestral brilliance, and dreams ready to be born, their approach is playful, intentional and relational. Their studio is in an oak grove sanctuary near the Willamette river.
From rituals to roughhousing, they bring nuance and depth to this highly creative work. They also facilitate skill-building workshops, dance events and online playscapes. In 2023, they birthed a program called Queering Erotic Belonging full of juicy ways to unhook from internalized sexual and gender oppression for the LGBTQ+ community.
Jade is from artists, farmers and weavers, Ashkenazi Jews and Romani people who traded their culture for whiteness in the early 1900s. They are actively trading this back, unwinding whiteness while inviting in the grief and magic of their ancestral lineages. When they aren't working, you can find them making melt-in-your-mouth pancakes, jumping into rivers, going to drag shows, growing roots with their partner and kids, and dancing on their back porch.
