Embodiment, Touch & Conscious Relating in Somatic Consent
“The 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development has unequivocally demonstrated that positive relationships are the number one determining factor for overall health, well-being, longevity and happiness” – Fleet Maull, Phd
Do you often feel trapped in cycles of over-giving or self-abandonment?
Perhaps you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no or feeling unfulfilled in your relationships despite all your efforts. You may be constantly seeking approval, feeling disconnected, or even overwhelmed by intimacy, unsure how to maintain boundaries without sacrificing connection.
These are deeply human struggles, often rooted in old conditioning, unresolved trauma, and patterns that keep us from truly listening to ourselves.
In this experiential 6-week Journey, you will gain powerful, embodied tools that support your return to authenticity, self-trust, and empowerment.
Are you ready to:
~ Reconnect with your body and discover what a true yes and no feel like?~ Break free from people-pleasing, guilt, or shame that keeps you in unfulfilling relationships?
~ Cultivate more meaningful, intimate connections where your needs and boundaries are valued?
~ Transform patterns of self-sabotage or emotional overwhelm into clear, aligned action?
This training is for you if:
~ You struggle with saying “no” or setting boundaries, feeling pressured to please others at the expense of your own needs.
~ You find it hard to express your desires in relationships or fear being judged, rejected, or abandoned.
~ You often feel misunderstood, unheard, or taken for granted, leaving you feeling frustrated or unseen.
~ Your body feels tense, numb, or shut down, and you’re yearning for more joy, vitality, and presence in your life.
~ You’ve experienced past trauma, and it impacts your ability to feel safe, trust yourself, or engage fully in life and relationships.
~ You desire to break free from disempowering relational dynamics and develop tools for self-regulation, clarity, and embodied communication.
In this safe and supportive environment, you’ll learn to:
~ Listen to your body’s wisdom and honor your needs without guilt or shame.
~ Transform old patterns of self-sacrifice, people-pleasing, and unhealthy relational dynamics by rewiring your nervous system.
~ Feel confident in setting boundaries and speaking your truth in a way that invites deeper connection and mutual respect.
~ Expand your capacity for intimacy by learning the art of consensual touch, body awareness, and somatic communication.
~ Embody empowerment in all your relationships—whether with partners, family, friends, or colleagues—by being anchored in your truth and grounded in your body.
~ Heal relational wounds by practicing conscious, embodied relating in a space that honors your boundaries and fosters mutual trust.

What some previous participants have to say after participating in this training:
John, Limerick:
“lf anyone is in any doubt about the transformative power of the somatic consent workshop I would be more than happy to recount my own experience and proffer my most enthusiastic and heartfelt recommendation.
Thank you Teertha”.
Rebecca, Cork:
“I have been on a healing journey for the past 10 years and this workshop has definitely been one of the best decisions I have made in my quest to understand myself more, release trauma, learned conditioning, and heal. I was a bit nervous about attending the workshop but was immediately put at ease by Teertha’s presence. She is a beautiful woman and a kind soul who has an innate ability to understand and help others reach their true potential and embody their light.
The principles of the workshop were brought to life in many fun and engaging practices that Teertha seemed to organise on an intuitive level. It made me realise how out of touch I have been in my body over the past while. I felt stimulated and energised as I explored myself and the environment in a way I would have never thought of doing before this beautiful weekend. I felt feelings and sensations that I have not felt for some time but have been longing for. The exercises encouraged me to challenge myself, connect to my desires, and ask for what I truly want. I also learned to truly listen to and respect the boundaries of others without taking it personally or feeling like I was somehow at fault.
This workshop has made me realise how much I have been missing human connection and touch and has been a catalyst for me to invite more fun and love into my life. It has brought my attention to old patterns and worn-out ways of being that are no longer serving me or anyone else. Despite all the education I have received and the books I have read, nothing has topped the learning I have gained from this weekend. It is a teaching that has been ingrained and one that I am sure will stay with me forevermore. I can already see a change in my communication and connection with others, and I am pleased to notice how challenging relationships in my life are beginning to heal. The only thing I regret is that I did not do this sooner so thank you Teertha, and thank you also to all the other beautiful souls who I had the pleasure to meet and work with over the weekend. 10/10!“
Joyce, Dublin:
“I recently took part in a training in Cork with Teertha, the art of consent choice and communication. As always with Teertha, from the word go I felt very comfortable and safe, even though it was a content I felt a bit unsure about at the beginning. But I have to say, it was amazing and so empowering! Teertha is a wonderful teacher and makes the space feel very safe and is always at hand to help and to make sure that everything is explained in a way that when we leave and go home, we can carry the training with us and simply apply the tools into life. With Teertha teaching it, I would not hesitate to recommend this training to everyone I meet. I look forward to going deeper in the future with my amazing teacher Teertha. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Joyce.
Daithi, West Cork:
“Working with Teertha has been some of the most important personal development I’ve done to date and the most beautiful gift I could have ever given myself. Although I recognise I’m a work in progress, I remain on the pathway to becoming the man I want to be and look forward to beginning a new journey with her this May. Le Grá, DaithaÍ”
Jonelle, Cork:
“The somatic consent weekend workshop with Teertha was ostensibly about creating safe space to explore consensual, platonic touch – and it was this. The exercises in touch exploration were playful, challenging, delightful, deep and nourishing. The room was frequently flooded in oxytocin… But, in combination with the theory that was offered and very clearly articulated by Teertha throughout, touch became the playground for exploring and embodying the basic principles of self-responsibility and sovereignty, healthy relating and communicating, connecting with and expressing personal truth, desire and boundaries – and for experiencing each of these as part of the inextricably woven web of being a human in healthy, reciprocal, and pleasurable relationship and community with other humans.
This should be basic life learning from very early childhood, but our culture is so far from this reality. I experienced a deep grief, at the end of the workshop, for the tragedy of this, especially having witnessed throughout the weekend how quickly and profoundly this work sets in for people, when safety is cultivated and the invitation is present.
On top of this grief, I also felt an even deeper relief for having experienced how it might all be possible. I have no doubt that this work has the potential to transform culture.
Teertha is a skilled facilitator. She lives what she teaches, communicates crystal clearly, and cultivates an extraordinarily safe space for the exploration that this work requires. I plan on delving deeper into this work, and would highly recommend this workshop to literally anybody (needless to say!)”.
The consent weekend with Teertha was a very informative, deepening of my tool box for techniques for a better future. I can be very independent and feel I have all the tools I need, yet in some situations I kept making the same mistakes or engaging with the same dynamics. This weekend fine tuned techniques I had and greater informed the reason why they worked.
The intimacy we developed over the weekend within our group was also such an inspiration and an expression of Teertha’s skill to facilitate and guide a group of strangers towards openness and deep trust.
Teertha’s teaching model is very focused and easy to digest, punctuated with her own personal life stories of obstacles and victories as the consent work embedded itself into her self care programme.
Illustrations of each stage are written and explained so visuals as well as games help the information given to be absorbed.
I would highly recommend this work as essential in helping relationships with both self and others to bloom and flourish. Healthy boundaries create space to expand into a safer space of open hearted connection.
