The Intimacy Lab
A Playground for Deeper Connection
Reclaiming erotic aliveness, returning to embodied confidence and cultivating deep, radically authentic relationships in community.
The Intimacy Lab is a workshop series tailored to each group's unique desires and needs, with customized experiences for women, singles, couples and practitioners. My trauma-attuned, therapeutically grounded, playful approach is rooted in 15+ years facilitating safe spaces for deep intimacy, authentic relationship and erotic aliveness globally.
If you’d like to bring this work to your festival, retreat, workplace, or conference, I’d love to co-create a custom experience for your community or organization. Offerings available both online and in-person.
"Last night's Intimacy Lab was so powerful. Wow. I came not even knowing what to expect and yet the process was deeply profound and helped me have a huge healing/ breakthrough. I definitely want to do more of this work.
Danielle is an incredible facilitator and very well versed in her craft! This medicine is potent!"
- Brooke Juliana, Dance Alchemy Founder
The Intimacy Lab
ONLINE & IN PERSON PROGRAM
Expand your relational skills and deepen your pleasure while fostering authentic connection in community.
Whether you're partnered, single or anywhere in between, The Intimacy Lab offers a playful, supportive, grounded space to explore the depths of intimacy, communication, and emotional presence, at your own pace and within your personal boundaries.
Some labs focus on building foundational skills to help you feel confident, connected and safe in emotional and embodied connection. Other labs are more advanced and dive into erotic and sexual skills, offering space to explore desire, pleasure, and embodied aliveness, always with respect, consent, and choice at the center.
Hi, I'm Danielle.
In my 15+ years facilitating embodied intimacy work with women, couples and groups globally, I've learned that the deepest growth happens in real relationship.
This is why I created The Intimacy Lab.
A space for men, women and couples to feel safe and empowered to practice the potent skills that we were never taught...the ones that make connection deeply pleasurable and sustainable.
Each lab experience is grounded in therapeutic depth and practical learning. I bring 13+ years of training in trauma-attuned somatic therapy, emotionally focused couples work, attachment-based therapy, Somatica® intimacy coaching, and soulful embodied practices into every space.
Themes we
dive into...
· Feelings, needs and desires
· Consent and boundary setting
· Communication
· Love languages
· Giving and receiving
· Healing shame
· Attachment
· Repair
· Erotic archetypes
· Conscious kink
· Attuned touch and cuddling
· Relational blueprints
Each Intimacy Lab Includes:
Teaching Transmission
A potent, embodied teaching on the theme of the week, including live demos
Guided practice
Practicing real intimacy skills in real-time, with supportive, open-hearted peers
Integrative Sharing
Coming together as a circle to share our learning and embody our personal and collective wisdom
This is a judgment-free space where we can allow ourselves not to know how to do intimacy...and to learn through guided experimentation, play and connection.
It's a space where it's ok to be imperfect, to ask sensitive questions, to make mistakes and to learn the foundational, practical skills we were never taught that deepen fulfillment and pleasure in real relationships.
"Wow. I'm not sure that my words will do justice to this powerful experience and my gratitude for how divinely and skillfully Danielle held the space, This was an incredible journey that my soul had longed for, and that longing was met with so much more than I expected."
- Sarah, Therapist
Client Love
"Danielle has an exquisite sense of attunement and sensitivity, as well as deep and thorough theoretical grounding. She has journeyed far and wide and knows the material from the inside out, the felt sense. This in my mind, distinguishes her work and practice. She is authentic and generous with her being.
Anyone who chooses to go on a journey with her is bound to benefit beyond measure."
— Melanie Landau Ph.D, Director of the full length documentary film
