Joy Rigel
I have always been captivated by the unseen—the energy that shapes our experiences, the silent language of the body, the unspoken currents of intimacy. Connection isn’t something we make happen; it’s something we open to.
My work is about helping people reclaim presence, awaken their sensual intelligence, and rediscover the power of deep, embodied connection. Beyond technique or performance, true intimacy is a communion. It is an exchange of energy—felt, lived, and expressed through every moment of presence.
A Path of Exploration
My journey began at 13 with a book on mindfulness and a simple body scanning practice that changed how I experienced myself. Struggling with social anxiety as a teen, I learned firsthand how embodiment and awareness can transform the way we move through life.
Through years of study—from yoga and meditation to somatic movement, Tantra, and energy work—I came to understand that intimacy and connection aren’t just about relationships with others, but our relationship with Life itself.
The Work I Share
With over two decades of experience in somatics and mindfulness, and a decade in intimacy work, I support those who are ready to experience deeper connection—with their bodies, their relationships and their own aliveness. Through somatic coaching, energy work, or conscious intimacy practices, I guide people back to the wisdom of their bodies and the art of feeling.
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs): For those with heightened awareness: turning sensitivity into power, grounding, and connection.
Those seeking deeper intimacy: For people wanting to feel more sensually present, emotionally open, and attuned in their relationships.
Those on a path of self-discovery: For anyone exploring their inner world and wanting an energetic and spiritual framework for living, loving, and relating with intention.
