Sensual Nature

A 12-Week Therapeutic Journey for Women with Low Libido

Do you wonder what happened to your libido and want to want again?

Do you want to try something different, in addition to, or, as an alternative to HRT/ testosterone, to help address menopausal hormonal changes and feeling desire?

Do you feel like you're stuck in your head?
Your mental load is huge. You feel like a head without a body. You feel more like a machine than a sexual woman.
Are you disconnected from your own desire?
You want to enjoy sex again, but you feel disconnected from the lover part of you - and you want reminding and inspiring.
Lacking in vitality?
With the passing of time, and maybe since having kids, you've become more and more tired.

What is Awaken Desire all about?

Awaken Desire is for women who feel flat, disconnected, or shut down — and are ready to gently feel again.

Reconnect to your own desires and wants, or lack of them, with tenderness and curiosity
Celebrate your senses and the pleasure possibilities they offer
Understand more about your own unique libido and find new ways to access it
Explore your own sense of the 'erotic' and what it means to you
Find more vitality and joy in your everyday life

I’m Nicola Foster, a professionally trained sex and relationship therapist with over a decade of experience helping people reconnect with intimacy, desire, and each other.

I specialise in working with couples with desire mismatches, and I also work with many women in midlife — who feel shut down, numb, or disconnected from their sexual selves. Many of my clients love their partners deeply, but feel like their libido has vanished… and they’re not sure how to get it back.

Over the years, I’ve developed a gentle, body-based approach that blends nervous system awareness, and sacred (but grounded) sexuality. I draw from teachers like Lori Brott and Deb Dana, and — weaving together therapeutic depth with practical, real-life exercises, tools and mindfulness practices.

I believe desire isn’t something we can force— but it is something that we can awaken.

What clients say:

"A really insightful course, very nurturing and gentle in its approach. I learnt a lot about myself and even though it is finished I will be thinking about and using many of the techniques well into the future. Thank you Nicola."
