Pleasure. Connection. Awakening.
Ñawi is a collective for healing, intimacy, and authentic expression—offering coaching, education, and transformative experiences that help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and their capacity for pleasure.
Based in Mexico City | Virtual Coaching Worldwide
Our Mission
Ñawi exists to help our collective cultivate deeper intimacy—with themselves, with one another, and with life.
We believe sexual wellness is not defined by performance, perfection, or shame, but by presence, authenticity, and connection. Through coaching, education, and transformative experiences, we create spaces where people can reconnect with their bodies, communicate with greater honesty, and build relationships rooted in curiosity, compassion, and consent.
Our approach integrates evidence-informed practices with somatic awareness and a deep respect for the wisdom of the body, supporting each person in exploring their unique path toward wholeness, pleasure, and meaningful connection.

Relationship & Reciprocity
Intimacy is more than what happens between partners—it begins with the relationship you have with yourself and the world around you.
Our work supports individuals and couples in exploring communication, desire, emotional connection, pleasure, boundaries, identity, and personal growth through compassionate, evidence-informed coaching.
Whether you're navigating life transitions, seeking greater relational fulfillment, or simply longing to feel more connected, Nawi offers a space to explore with curiosity rather than judgment.
We integrate modern psychology, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and holistic approaches to support meaningful and lasting transformation.
Our Offerings
Individual Coaching
Virtual - Worldwide
$150 USD for 50-minute appointment
Individual coaching blends sex education, mindfulness, and somatic work to foster emotional and sexual wellbeing, deeper intimacy, and resilience. Clients learn anatomy, consent, boundaries, and desire to name needs and make empowered choices. Mindfulness builds present awareness and regulation; somatic techniques restore bodily safety and agency, easing tension, shame, and dissociation. This integrated practice repairs relational patterns, expands capacity for pleasure and attachment, and creates sustainable habits that strengthen resilience and intimate connection.
-
People recovering from sexual, relational, or developmental trauma who want body-based healing.
Individuals seeking deeper embodiment, pleasure, or sexual self-awareness.
Those navigating desire discrepancies, non-traditional relationship questions, or intimacy fears.
Professionals experiencing burnout, chronic dissociation, or difficulty regulating emotions and wanting somatic tools.
Anyone ready to move beyond intellectualizing and to transform patterns through felt experience and relational practice.
-
Trauma-informed somatic regulation: nervous system tracking, resourcing, titration, window of tolerance expansion.
Embodiment and body literacy: breath, sensation awareness, grounding, interoception, pleasure mapping.
Sexual identity, desire, and pleasure exploration: reclaiming agency, rewriting sexual narratives, erotic template work.
Attachment and relational patterns: ruptures and repair, boundaries, communication, consent, ethical non-monogamy navigation.
Emotional fluency and affect regulation: naming, tolerating, and expressing feelings without shame.
Ritual and integration practices: personalized micro-rituals, containment practices, and daily embodiment routines.
-
Trauma-informed, consent-centered, and body-first: we prioritize safety, pacing, and your autonomy.
Somatic coaching blended with relational practice: embodied exercises, movement, breathwork, guided somatic inquiry, and real-time co-regulation.
Integrative approach: draws from somatic experiencing, polyvagal-informed practices, attachment-based coaching, and ritual neuroscience.
Collaborative and individualized: sessions are tailored to your history, goals, and current nervous system state; we co-design practices you can use between sessions.
Confidential and ethically grounded: clear boundaries, informed consent, and referrals when additional therapeutic support is needed.
-
Opening check-in: we assess your nervous system, current stressors, and immediate needs.
Somatic attunement: brief grounding, breath, or movement practice to bring awareness into the body and orient to sensation.
Focused inquiry and skill practice: we explore the chosen pattern or theme through guided somatic inquiry, experimentation, or relational role-play. This may include sensory mapping, directed touch (when explicitly consented and within scope), vocalization, or micro-movements.
Integration and resources: we close with reflection, stabilization techniques, and concrete practices (breath exercises, rituals, journaling prompts) to practice between sessions.
Session duration: typically 50 or 90 minutes, with options for a longer intake.
Safety and pacing: we move at your nervous system’s edge—resourcing and grounding are prioritized if dysregulation appears.
-
Improved nervous system regulation: more capacity to tolerate distress, less reactivity, and faster recovery after triggers.
Greater embodiment and pleasure access: clearer connection to bodily signals, expanded capacity for sensation and erotic expression.
Increased emotional clarity and expression: ability to identify, sit with, and communicate emotions without escalation or shutdown.
Healthier relational patterns: stronger boundaries, more effective repair after conflict, and clearer communication around needs and consent.
Reduced shame and increased agency: reframing of sexual and relational stories into empowering, choice-based narratives.
Practical tools and rituals: an individualized toolbox of somatic practices and micro-rituals to support daily regulation and integration.
Long-term integration: sustained shifts in how you inhabit your body, relate to others, and meet desire — often experienced as more presence, safety, and vitality.
Relationship Coaching
Relationship coaching gently blends somatic practices and trauma‑informed sexology to support couples and partners with tuning into one another’s inner experience, regulating difficult emotions together, and building safety for honest vulnerability. Integrated sex‑education reduces shame and normalizes desire, boundaries, and pleasure—improving communication about wants and needs, expanding sexual literacy, and enabling partners to co-create more satisfying, connected sexual lives. Together these practices shift relationships toward greater trust, curiosity, and embodied pleasure.

Yin Yoga
Virtual - Worldwide
Slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself. Yin Yoga is a gentle, meditative practice that uses long-held postures to release tension in the body's deeper connective tissues while creating space for stillness and self-reflection. This practice supports flexibility, nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and a greater sense of presence—offering a restorative complement to the demands of everyday life.
Massage Therapy
In-Person - CDMX
Restore your body through intentional, therapeutic touch. Massage therapy helps relieve muscular tension, improve circulation, reduce stress, and support overall well-being. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, creating space for relaxation, recovery, and a deeper connection between body and mind.
Sound Healing

Immerse yourself in the therapeutic power of sound. Using modular synthesizers, immersive digital soundscapes, and carefully crafted resonant frequencies, these sessions invite deep relaxation and expanded states of awareness. Layered textures and evolving sonic environments support emotional release, calm the nervous system, and guide you into a meditative state of rest, balance, and inner harmony. Whether experienced individually or in a group setting, each journey is a fully immersive auditory experience designed to reconnect you with yourself through sound.
