EXPLICIT EPISODE - Certified Sex and Intimacy Coach – Alicia Schifferle
This conversation is CERTAINLY NOT for little ears.

In this conversation, I sit down with Alicia Schiffer, a certified sex and intimacy coach and the founder of Sensual Sessions. Alicia shares her personal story including her bold move from moving from the east coast to Broome, and the path that led her into sex and intimacy coaching.

We unpack why certain words get “coded” online (like “seggs” and “corn”), what training goes into becoming a qualified sex and intimacy coach, how Alicia supports clients when complex issues arise, and how women can get out of a busy mind and back into their bodies for deeper pleasure and connection.

Episode Highlights

• Alicia’s background, being a qualified podiatrist and deciding to travel around Australia with her then partner.
• Why she packed up and moved to Broome after breaking up with her ex (and what that journey taught her)
• Why “seggs” (and “corn”) show up online: navigating social media censorship and coded language.
• What it takes to become a certified sex and intimacy coach.
• How she approaches client challenges she hasn’t seen before (boundaries, research, referrals, and continued learning)
• Building Sensual Sessions: why she started her business and what her workshops focus on.
• How women find support—marketing, word of mouth, and creating a safe entry point
• What it’s like to have a supportive and encouraging partner alongside her journey.
• Shifting sexual culture: are women becoming more vocal, and are men caring more about mutual pleasure?
• Busy mind vs. embodied pleasure: practical ways to drop into the senses.
• Age and credibility: navigating criticism and owning your expertise.
