Welcome to Pleasure!

Who I Am (Your Guide in This Journey)

I’m Amy Word: a certified sex educator, pleasure coach, yoga teacher, and somatic practitioner. My path here was shaped by my own experiences of healing, curiosity, and radical reclaiming of what it means to feel safe in my body. I’ve walked the pilgrimage of trauma, shame, and rediscovery — and now I walk it with clients.

I’ve trained in trauma-informed sexuality, sound healing, somatics, and embodied coaching. But more than credentials, I bring grounded presence, empathy, and a deep belief that pleasure is a valid part of your health and wellbeing.

How I Support You

While many modalities inform my work — yoga, breathwork, sound therapy, intuitive coaching — my focus is this:

Signature journeys (3-session “Reignite” & 5-session “Deep Connection”) that offer structured, clear pathways
Tools, practices, and homework that bridge the work between sessions
A relational, body-first approach that centers your nervous system and safety
Occasional workshops, retreats, and immersive experiences to deepen connection

"We met Amy at a pool for a floating sound bath, and it was such a wonderful experience. After a really overwhelming year and with a lot of new changes happening, I wanted to give my team a chance to slow down, breathe, and be present before heading into what will be a challenging quarter.

The session was calming and restorative, and Amy created such a peaceful atmosphere that allowed us to truly relax. My team walked away feeling refreshed, grounded, and grateful for the opportunity to take that time together.

I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a unique way to support their team’s well-being. It was exactly what we needed."

"Recently, I booked a private yoga session with Amy Word from the Pleasure Connection. It was great because Amy was willing to come to my house and work around my meeting schedule; I travel a lot and when I'm in town I generally have back to back meetings so this was a huge benefit. Also, Amy was great about giving me modifications to the various poses so as to not irritate my knee. I had a total knee replacement in December of 2023 and it is really sensitive to pressure now, e.g. kneeling is a bit uncomfortable. As a yoga novice, Amy was great about breaking everything down, being patient and working with me to ensure that I was doing the movements correctly, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be scheduling more sessions in the future. I felt incredible when we were finished."

“Before working with Amy, we were interested in the lifestyle but had no roadmap — and a lot of fear. Amy’s compassionate, practical approach made all the difference. The Yes/No/Maybe framework gave us a way to explore boundaries; the homework assignments (tiny sensory dates, the ‘consent script’ practice, and the 10-minute check-in ritual) turned conversation into action, and were so fun and sexy. Amy helped us translate curiosity into consent and connection. Six weeks later, we’re communicating more clearly, playing more often, and we actually enjoy the process of discovering what turns us both up. We couldn’t have done it without her steady and .”
