Jo Guerreiro
Hi, I’m Jo (she/her),
a trauma-trained Somatic Sexologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Sex & Relationship Coach
based in Lisbon, Portugal.
I work with individuals, couples, constellations and groups - online and in-person, in English and Portuguese - to help people come home to their bodies, attune their nervous system, and navigate intimacy, sexuality, and pleasure with more curiosity, compassion and presence, and with less judgement, shame and discomfort.
I’m also a friend, partner, lover, dog mom, plant enthusiast, forever student, and someone who believes deeply in holding space for the full spectrum of what it means to be human and navigate the complexity and co-existence of it all (because I know it’s a lot for us to hold alone).
All of this, is what lead me here. Is what keeps me going, and what motivates me on this mission to support humans in prioritizing connection in a world that teaches us disconnection.
I carry with me my firsthand experience of navigating complex trauma and relationships, and relearning the language of my body and nervous system, as the pathway that supported (and supports) me in navigating life, deepening my relationship with intimacy, and my passion about creating spaces where your experience is seen and held - without pressure to fix, perform, or “heal” beyond your capacity.
I’m gonna be real with you - I don’t believe in full “healing.” Life is always happening, and hard moments, difficult emotions, and challenges will always arise, some influenced by us, others completely beyond our control. But what we can do is learn to move through life with more support, awareness, compassion, and presence - so we can also feel the beauty, joy, and pleasure of being human, alongside the messiness and the pain that naturally comes with our existence.
