Alexandra Espino is a certified trauma-informed Somatic Practitioner, Sexologist, and Sex Coach whose work centers the reclamation of the body as a site of wisdom, agency, and truth.

Her approach is shaped by lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent, first-generation bilingual Latine woman, mother, mystic, and sexual assault survivor, as well as nearly two decades of working closely with neurodivergent individuals. Rather than viewing the body through a lens of pathology or dysfunction, Alexandra’s work is rooted in the belief that many of the responses we are taught to “fix” are, in fact, intelligent adaptations shaped by trauma, culture, and survival.

Alexandra specializes in supporting people navigating sexual and gynecological medical trauma, postpartum changes to sexuality, chronic anxiety and stress, shame around sexuality, religious deprogramming, dissociation, numbness and states of nervous system shutdown. Her work is particularly attuned to people with wombs and those living with reproductive or hormonal imbalances, including irregular or painful menstrual cycles and PCOS. She supports clients in rebuilding safety in the body, restoring sensation, and reconnecting with desire, self-trust, and boundaries at a pace the nervous system can truly integrate.

Her practice blends advanced somatic methodologies with sexology, hypnosis and subliminal reprogramming, and sensual embodiment practices. This includes somatic orientation, nervous system repatterning through micro-movements and somatic exercises, somatic parts work, holistic consent and sex education, vaginal de-armoring, and somatic-sensual practices such as pleasure mapping and Shibari. The work is slow, titrated, and consent-centered, prioritizing presence over performance and integration over intensity.

At its core, Alexandra’s work is decolonial. She recognizes that trauma does not occur in a vacuum, and that bodies carry not only personal history, but cultural, political, and ancestral imprints. Her approach honors intersectional realities, autonomy, and the lived context each person brings into the room, rejecting one-size-fits-all models of healing in favor of relational, embodied care.

Alongside her clinical and somatic training, Alexandra is a lifelong mystic and witch, raised in close relationship with herbal wisdom, ritual, and ancestral practices. These threads subtly inform her work, offering containers for remembrance, meaning-making, and embodied ritual without bypassing the nervous system or the realities of trauma.

Through her practice and The Reclamation Hour (the podcast she co-hosts), Alexandra is a pleasure activist devoted to helping femmes, queer people, and BIPOC take up space in the world, closing the orgasm gap, and restoring “cliteracy” as both a personal mission and political act of resistance. Her work invites a return to the body not as something to control or conquer, but as a living intelligence worthy of reverence.
