How it Works

Step 1: Book your Foundation Session

01

Book your 30 Minute Foundation Session

We will meet online to talk through your goals, fill out your intake form together, and establish a safe, comfortable foundation.

Note: If we discover that somatic sex coaching with Desire Pathways won’t fit your needs, I will guide you towards other professional care options.

Step 2: Receive your $50 Voucher

02

Following your Foundation Session, you’ll receive an email recap along with a $50 discount code that applies your initial foundation fee directly toward your first coaching package or single session.

Begin Your Ongoing Coaching Journey

03

Select a single session or a session bundle to start your transformational work.

After each session, you'll receive tailored "home-play" practices—focusing on breath, movement, and awareness—to help integrate pleasure and presence into your daily life.

Certified Somatic Sex Coach, Sexologist & Founder of Desire Pathways

Michaela Tutty, Certified Somatic Sex Coach and founder of Desire Pathways, leaning against a tree outdoors.

Kia ora, I’m Michaela Tutty. Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by how we connect, how our bodies change, and how we navigate intimacy. It is this lifelong curiosity that drew me to psychology, sexology, and becoming a Certified Somatic Sex Coach and Sexologist. I founded Desire Pathways because I want people to have a safe space to be curious about what is going on in their sexuality.

Everyone is honoured here, regardless of background, gender identity, or sexuality. To help map out specific physiological conditions and tools, like vaginismus support for vulva owners or ejaculatory control and prostate care for penis owners, parts of this site refer to anatomical terms. This is always done with the understanding that anatomy does not determine gender. No matter your identity, whether cisgender, transgender, non-binary, gender-fluid, or intersex, you and your journey belong here. Being queer-affirming, sex-work positive, and trauma-informed forms the core foundation of Desire Pathways. While my relational coaching scope focuses on monogamous dynamics, this remains a non-judgmental environment where you are safe to explore intimacy on your own terms.

Referrals & Self-Referrals

I work collaboratively with GPs, psychologists, and allied health professionals across New Zealand.

Individuals and couples are also welcome to self-refer directly.
