An overview of the new IRHS training structures
 
The CSI, CSB and CSSE training pathways.
  1. Practitioner training now begins with the first-year Certificate in Sexological Intimacy Coaching (CSI), which includes all the micro-skills and practices of sexological bodywork guiding self-touch using Clean Language & Body Poem coaching with robust session structure for online client sessions.
  2. Certified Sexological Intimacy Coaches can continue to the second-year CSB training, which includes touch and the Eleven-day in-person embodiment retreat in the mountains in Portugal.
  3. Certified CSBs can then further develop as somatic sex educators and coaches in the CSSE 3rd year, where they will accompany 1st-year CSI students through their CSI training and continue in paid coaching roles during the supervised practicum certification stages.
  4. After completing the third year, there is an opportunity to further develop as a somatic sex educator and learn supervision skills, becoming a professional supervisor who can supervise practitioners in the field.
 
CSSE IRHS Coach Training Opportunities
  1. You will have a unique opportunity to access the CSI training in this new format as you accompany our next cohort of CSI first-year students as a CSSE coach. You will follow the CSI training with your students, practising the core research explorations with your CSSE classmates and clients to update your micro skills and deepen your experience translating somatic practices online.
  2. You will also develop your coaching skills to support you in stepping into an up-power role as a coach for your students throughout their training, including a paid coaching role as they move into supervised client sessions towards certification.
  3. You will also be able to develop your specialism as a somatic sex educator in an area you feel passionate about and would like to contribute to the field.
  4. As part of our postgraduate program, you will create educational material and present it in a live webinar for the Postgraduate community to establish yourself in your area of special interest. To support practitioners' personal and professional development, you can promote courses or further training.
