Re-enchant your most intimate relationships — with yourself, others, & the living world — by way of a body that knows how to love and be loved.

Somatic Healing with Erotic & Relational Love Coaching

Romantic Somatics is a body-based, relational healing methodology that works directly with the nervous system, psyche, and emotional body to unbind long-held patterns, traumatic imprints, unconscious beliefs, and identities shaped by survival.

You may have already cultivated the insight and self-awareness at this stage in your life — but your body is still waiting to feel safe enough to truly love…

Through guided somatic practice with mytho-poetic depth and relational repair with erotic coherence, unprocessed emotional charge is safely metabolized and transformed directly inside the nervous system rather than managed, intellectually bypassed, or suppressed.

As your body finds safety — in this ceremonial space and in the relationship you cultivate with yourself — love does not simply become easier; you stop participating in distortion. The relationships and depth that meet you begin to reflect your wholeness and your unguarded heart.

Sophie Morgan Burns
Romantic Somatics Founder
& Practitioner

“Working with Sophie has been one of the best investments and decisions I have ever made for my personal transformation and for my healing in my life. Her presence radiates such powerful love and truth that it immediately cracks me open, opens my heart, invites me to break down in the best way possible and release anything that I'm carrying that isn't aligned with love and truth.

The only thing I can compare working with Sophie to is psychedelic therapy. She is able to get me to the same place by holding space for me. She holds space for all parts of who I am, so I can surrender and feel all that I am. Sophie is one of the best gifts that has come into my life and my life has changed in so many ways since our work together.”

“Sophie intuitively and masterfully blends powerful practices and her depth of wisdom to heal and expand you to new levels in every session. I’m endlessly grateful for her craft and devotion to this work and my evolution. I cannot recommend her enough to any woman ready to journey into her truest becoming and live the life she deeply desires. My work with her has been the best investment I’ve made in my personal growth.”

Romantic Somatics is a gentle and deeply effective methodology, as experientially beautiful as it is transformative, offered both in-person and online.

To expand your capacity for intimacy, erotic pleasure, and secure attachment — and to live aligned with your deepest truth — we carry the torch of love into the depths of your body and psyche to liberate the heart you’ve been protecting …

  • Within our ceremonial-grade, private 1:1 container, your body becomes the site of lasting transformation in alignment with your heartfelt desires.

    Through somatic journeys, relational processing, and foundational reorganization at the level where patterns form and energetic and emotional imprints are stored — the nervous system softens its vigilance and societally learned domestication, allowing you to sustain a more authentic and romantic way of living and relating.

    The steady weekly rhythm of co-regulation within our work allows your system to experience safety without collapse and connection without self-abandonment.

    In time, beliefs loosen and shift, identities evolve, and the body learns to become a resonant match for your deepest desires rather than a gatekeeper governed by outdated protective instincts.

  • As coherence between your inner and outer worlds strengthens, relationships deepen and open to meet your unguarded heart. Your authentic needs and desires become clear, no longer distorted or fueled by fear, scarcity, or attachment wounds.

    Establishing and holding boundaries no longer requires performance or resistance; rather, they arise as effortless and powerful expressions of self-trust, self-worth, and self-respect. Emotional capacity widens, making room for the full range of human experience without manipulation, control, or collapse. Well-resourced embodied presence and nervous system resilience replace unconscious and learned patterns of dissociation.

    Ultimately, a romantic orientation to life takes root as you remember your belonging among the mysterious wonder, infinite possibility, and ecological brilliance of the living world.

  • Because this work reorganizes patterns at the level where they were formed and where energetic and emotional imprints are held — in neurobiology, in the nervous system, and in the subtle body — the changes are not surface-level.

    Over time within our devoted practice, those seeking sexual healing find that their bodies no longer brace or disappear in intimacy. Those longing for steadier partnership discover they can remain open without abandoning themselves. Communication becomes clear and grounded rather than reactive or avoidant. Desire disentangles from fear and begins to function as an honest compass.

    Anxiety softens into presence. Boundaries arise without force. Attachment settles into trust.

    Relationships shift simply because your nervous system is no longer organized around survival in love.

    What emerges is a deep return to coherence: a body that can stay with sensation, conflict, pleasure, and devotion without collapse or control. A relational life that feels mutual and romantic rather than effortful. A steady capacity to endure life’s grit and savor its nectar while remaining anchored in yourself and fully participating in the living web of connection through which love deepens and life regenerates.

  • This work does not belong to one category of struggle or one kind of person. It meets you wherever your nervous system has organized around love, intimacy, or survival. If you feel a pull toward working together and experiencing Romantic Somatics, trust that — and let’s connect for a complimentary discovery call to explore whether it’s the right fit.

    This practice may resonate if any of the following feel familiar:

    • You notice familiar family dynamics repeating in your adult relationships and feel ready to release conditioning that is no longer yours to carry.

    • You want to attract a deeply aligned partner — and become a resonant match for the kind of love you know is possible.

    • You understand your attachment patterns intellectually, yet in relationship your nervous system still braces for abandonment, betrayal, or loss.

    • In sex, your body tenses, numbs, or dissociates. At times, you push through rather than honor what your body is actually asking for.

    • You long to feel genuinely erotic and at ease in your pleasure, but shame, trauma, or vigilance have muted your aliveness.

    • You over-function in relationships — becoming the stabilizer, healer, or emotional anchor — while your own needs quietly go unmet.

    • You crave spiritual depth and real romance in your relations (including friendship), yet intimacy still feels guarded, performative, or fragile.

Education, Professional Training & Practice

Romantic Somatics is grounded in formal academic study and advanced, trauma-informed somatic practice. I guide clients in sustained one-on-one and group containers devoted to nervous system reorganization and relational transformation. I train directly under Judith Johnson, founder of PsychoNeuroEnergetics (PNE), and serve as a teaching assistant in practitioner trainings within her lineage of vagal and nervous system–based trauma resolution.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Studies from Scripps College, with specialization in wilderness therapy, organizational culture, leadership and interpersonal dynamics, as well as a 650+ hour trauma-informed certification in sex, love, and relationship coaching. My additional studies span mythology and mytho-somatics with Josh Shcrei of The Emerald podcast; feminine mythologies alongside my colleague Nour Tohmé; menstrual and cyclical living courses with Samantha Neal; 3x Vipassana meditation courses; and continued study in matriarchal and relational leadership.

Let’s Work Together

  • This is a sustained, co-creative practice offered in 12-session, 3-month containers, with the option to extend into a personalized format. We begin with a complimentary discovery call to explore alignment, intention, and readiness. If we choose to move forward, you will receive a formal onboarding process outlining structure, expectations, and investment.

    Your willingness, honesty, and readiness shape the depth of what unfolds. Together, we move at the pace of your nervous system in the direction of hearts deepest and truest desires.

    Over the course of our work, we create a devoted space where your body becomes the site of transformation. Each session is guided methodically and intuitively allowing you to be with the truth of what ever may be arising while also feeling held, guided and able to trust the arc of the journey.

    Sessions are held weekly for 75 minutes via Zoom (or in-person when applicable), with optional support between sessions for reflection and integration.

  • We work directly with sensation, attachment responses, sexual energy, inherited conditioning, and unconscious relational patterns. Insight is welcome — but we go further, into the body where patterns and experiences actually live as visceral phenomena that cannot be sufficiently spoken about, only felt.

    At times, sessions may include somatic processing, archetypal embodiment, guided imaginal journeys, Tantric or Daoist-informed energetic work, or direct relational skill-building. Each session is tailored to your needs and capacity and we always move gently and with integral support.

  • Each session closes with grounding and integration. Together we identify one or two clear practices to carry into your week — small shifts that reorganize how you relate in real time.

    You are encouraged to leave space after sessions for journaling, rest, or reflection before re-entering your day. After deep somatic processes with emotional release, a nap is the best thing you can offer your system.

    Between sessions, you may receive light guidance or support to stabilize new patterns as they take root.

  • Over time, vigilance softens. Desire clarifies. Boundaries strengthen without force. Emotional range expands.

    We untangle inherited family conditioning, relational survival strategies, and cultural domestication of the body. Erotic vitality returns. This work restores coherence.

    The outcome is resilience and a courageous heart — the ability to remain present in intimacy and deepen it with the erotic compass of your heart’s desires without abandoning yourself or withdrawing from relationship.

  • This work is a meaningful financial investment — and many clients have described it as one of the most impactful commitments they have made to themselves.

    The transformation we cultivate together is embodied change that continues to shape your relationships, intimacy, and sense of self long after our work concludes.

    Flexible payment plans are available. We discuss structure and investment on your discovery call to ensure clarity, readiness, and mutual alignment.
