How Do We Heal Relationship Wounds Together? - Exclusive Interview with Rachelle Michaud

Ep. 161

Love. Relationships. Couples Therapy. Sensuality. Communication. Sex. Rachelle works with couples to repair and renew their relationships. She also works with individuals on sexuality—addressing concerns such as sex drive, body image, shame, attraction, arousal, confidence, trauma, and pleasure—as well as with individuals seeking better self-regulation to feel happier and less stressed. Her approach is experiential, embodied, and somatic; it goes beyond just talking and homework.


Her expertise is the result of a lifelong passion for “body stuff,” including martial arts, world dance, theater arts, vocal work, mindfulness, embodiment and somatic arts, somatic sexology, and intimacy coordination, with a touch of tantra. A performer at heart and a professionally trained clinician, Rachelle seamlessly integrates both worlds to deliver transformative work in love, couples therapy, and sensuality. Originally from New England, she has worked in New York City, Paris, San Francisco, Belgium, and the Netherlands.


In this episode, we discover the following:


  1. What is relationship therapy?

  2. What creates and promotes intimacy?

  3. How do we heal relationship wounds together?

  4. How important is touch and intimacy? 


With podcast host: Mark Sephton
