Could you introduce yourself and what you do?
Hello beloveds, I am Natalie Abraham – an Erotic Educator & Intimacy Arts Expert. I am an artist. A healer. A poet. A mother.
Meet erotic educator & therapist: Natalie Abraham
What are the specific and unique services you provide on Sensuali?
I guide transformative journeys for singles, couples and groups blending fun, juicy, and creative awakenings with depth, and sacred divine wisdoms.
I am so passionate about cracking people’s hearts open, reminding them of who they truly are behind the walls and masks.
I especially love reminding people that love is the essence of all our deepest longings.
How would you describe your approach to what you do in a nutshell?
How can we bridge divine wisdoms into realistic everyday life? How can we BECOME huge dramatic concepts like ‘love’? I discovered it’s actually so simple. Yet these days, simple has become one of the hardest things to be. As humans we have overcomplicated everything. So my approach begins with asking ‘how can we go back to simply finding what we so deeply long for, and move past the pressure, fears, guilt, shame and expectation we have covered life in?’
What was your journey into this world?
Natalie Abraham.
My journey went from knowing love so deeply as a youngster, to building walls of protection; from fears that stemmed from all the social/religious conditionings around me.
I always thought I needed too many years of therapy to truly heal. Thankfully, I was wrong. I went into a path of taking responsibility of my life, found secrets to true happiness, love, intimacy and connection, and knew I had to share them with everyone who doesn’t yet know how juicy life can really be.
Why do you like what you do?
I love witnessing life transformations in those so thirsty for change. I love bringing people together in deeper connections. I love guiding people through their vulnerabilities, meeting their edge, and finding the love that lives behind their fears.
Why do people tend to seek your services out?
Natalie Abraham.
I think that many people resonate with what I have to say because I actually AM my message. People hear my message as I walk the streets of my life, before I’ve even said a word.
As I grow and change everyday, I wear new dresses of my findings for the world to see the truth of our human experience. Suddenly others find permission to live & feel all the shades of life, with me. This makes me most happy.
How has your relationship with what you do evolved over time?
I once felt like I had to hide what I do from some people (between my family, childhood community & corporate clients). I felt judged by many eyes. After a long journey and some intense experiences that challenged my identity, I finally found wholeness with who I am, the beauty & importance of my message, and made absolute peace with the different types of impacts I will have on people. Today, inspired and triggered reactions are all welcomed with my open heart.
What should more people know about what you do?
Natalie Abraham.
Eros laces all I do and live. Eros (or the erotic) is not about sex. It’s about life force.
It’s about feeling alive in every moment of our everyday. Eros can include sex, but it’s not the essence.
What are your hopes for the future in the sensual world?
OMG I dream that we will all be so awakened to our senses that we feel alive every moment of every day; that we can move together in our vulnerabilities, past our shames and fears, so we can truly connect from our hearts, our eyes, our bodies – and live a life of true, open-hearted, loving intimacy.

Sensuali chatted with Belle Lauralei, the all round sensualist and lover of erotica. We spoke about how supporting men and the masculine is integral to achieving a harmonious society, the struggle of living in a mind-led world that disconnects us from our bodies, and how more women need to view femininity as a power rather than a weakness.

This week I sat down with an acupuncturist friend to discuss all things sexual healing. From tantra to Kundalini energy to root chakras, we got down and dirty with all things woo-woo. Needless to say, I was in heaven.
Sensuali chatted to The Tantric Woman, aka Jo, the sex coach and tantric bodyworker based in London. We talked about helping men connect with their body rather than their mind, self-sourcing our own pleasure, and how we can shift societal attitudes towards sensuality and away from derogatory sex.
