Making Room for Our Erotic Bodies with Katie Spataro

Katie Spataro, CSB (she/her) is a certified somatic sex educator and sexological bodyworker, womb tender, holistic pelvic care provider, and full spectrum doula.  Katie studies and practices at the intersections of birth work and sex work, drawing upon the embodied wisdom of these two lineages to support healing of the personal and collective cultural body.

In this conversation, we explore:

- What do we mean by "the erotic"?
- How to rewrite narratives about our sexual and erotic bodies
- The relationship between eroticism and sex 
- Consent, communication and negotiating the edges and boundaries of desire 
- Nurturing erotic spaces and community

Katie blends various modalities of somatic practice, bodywork and skilled coaching in her private practice, and facilitates classes on sexual and reproductive wellbeing, embodied consent, and erotic education through a trauma-informed and healing-centered lens. She is core faculty at the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education, a Certified Facilitator through the School of Consent, and adjunct faculty at Antioch University’s Sex Therapy Certificate Program in Seattle.
