Juliette Karaman is an intimacy expert in the UK, an intimacy and touch expert based in England who works with women, couples and men, online and in person. Her method, The Touch Reset, finds the patterns that close the door to touch, aliveness and connection, and teaches the body how to open it again.
That is me. I have been working with trauma and the body for the last 10 years and experience it deeply myself. Everything I teach began on a half landing, when I woke up in a pool of my own blood after fainting again, and decided this was not how I die.
What does an intimacy expert actually do?
An intimacy expert helps the body feel safe enough to receive touch, desire and closeness again, then gives it a structure to practise in. With me it runs in this order.
- Safety first. Touch Base®: thumb to forefinger, feel the ridges, say “I am safe right now”, and hold for two minutes. We always start here.
- Find your two things. Your Touch Pattern, the way your attention moves when touch arrives, and your Pleasure Language, how you are wired to receive it.
- Practise inside a structure. Touch Dates, small and specific enough to build on. The Dyad, for being heard without an argument.
- Map the body. The Touch Map™, one body part at a time, every touch rated green, orange or red, done on your own first.
On my podcast I put it like this: you cannot think your way into aliveness. Your body has to register safety first. The researcher Stephen Porges called this neuroception, the nervous system deciding whether it is safe to open before the mind has weighed in.
How do I find a certified sex and intimacy coach?
Ask exactly what someone is qualified in, and how they work with the body. Titles in this field vary a lot, so the training underneath them is the thing to check.
Here is my own answer to both questions.
- Intimacy and touch expert
- Somatic Experiencing practitioner
- EMDR therapist
- Death doula, with my mother, my sister and my father as they died
Before any of this I was a SENCO, working with children on the autism spectrum, helping them feel safe in their own skin. That is still the question I ask of every body I work with.
Is there an intimacy coach near me in the UK?
If you are looking for an intimacy coach anywhere in the UK, yes. I live in England and work in person and online, so the distance stops mattering.

Who does Juliette Karaman work with?
Women, couples, and men who love women they can no longer reach. Some come because touch went quiet. Some come because it is good and they want more.
So many of the women who come to me carry sexual trauma. When a woman tells me her body closes and she does not know why, she does not have to explain. I know where it lives.
Picture another year of this, unchanged. Then picture the morning your body tells you yes.
