Bodysex is a feeling 

Bodysex is a call to action. 

Bodysex is a promise.  

Hello my name is Emma, I am a certified Bodysex Coach based in Edinburgh the capital of Scotland. I work across the UK, Europe and the world. 

I offer in person workshops, one on one sessions and virtual coaching. 

I create a comfortable, embracing and encouraging space for all women/vulva owners, for all ages. I am comfortable with all sexual expressions, including BDSM, swinging, polyamory and the LGBTQ+. I am 38, sexually fluid & kinky. And I believe our bodies are incredibly powerful and beautiful. 

Despite my orgasm being my longest and most loyal friend. Bodysex took me on a journey back to myself and on the path I released shame, fear, anxiety and trauma and developed an unshackle conviction in the richness of what my body is capable of. 

Aa a young child I experienced painful anxiety, this developed into body dysmorphia. As a teen into my early twenties I felt alien in my body. I felt I didn’t fit into any beauty ideals or standards, in my eyes I was ugly I simply didn’t feel enough. 

This was only exacerbated when I started training to become a professional dance artist where every aspect of my body, character and style was critiqued causing more anxiety and overwhelm. 

In the past two decades I have dedicated my life to the arts as a dance artist, actress and teacher working in Theatre, TV & Film. I love to perform and direct and while I have grown creatively and made incredible friends throughout my career and traveled across the world. At times I felt very lonely. 

Something was missing. Soon enough my works became about the celebration of inter relational connections between women Mother daughter, sister, friendship, lovers, these intimate relationships fascinated me. Sex and the lack of sex education

out there become my favorite topic. I wanted to use my creative voice to showcase a major issue of sexual inequality. Much like Betty whos art work while incredibly powerful and important, wasn’t welcomed or accepted at the time. 

It was only when I met my Buddhist practice and started chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo almost 12 years ago with the lay Buddhist movement called Soka Gakkai International, which means value and creation in society. Did I finally feel like I’d come home. 

The more I chanted the more I realised that the dream I had about doing sex ed was coming back to life. I feel like my chanting led me to Betty’s work. 

In 2018/19 I found Dodson&Ross and after quite some time of chanting to have the courage to email Betty and Carlin I reached out in 2020. Little did I know that Betty was dying and I heard nothing back. I tried again in 2021 and then again in 2022. On May 10th 2022 I received an email from Carlin and Laura. Since then my life has opened up. 

While I never met Betty, I feel deeply connected to her spirit and her mission to create an orgasmic world. 

My journey to becoming a Bodysex coach has been nothing short of extraordinary. 

Thanks to Betty Dodson the Grandmother of Pleasure, Carlin Ross and Laura Bogush for creating a cohesive and inspiring program and to all my Bodysex sisters for championing the way for a sex positive world one orgasm at a time.
