The 3 Keys to Genital Dearmouring
Live Training
Learning to give and receive somatic experiences that yield the nervous system into safety, reclaim the body’s authentic sovereignty & empower sexual autonomy.
What is Genital Armouring?
Genital armour is a common experience in most bodies. It’s a form of self-protection - your body’s organic response to guard itself.
We may develop genital armour when there is
- physical threat
- emotional threat such as shaming
- mental threat such as self-judgement
- or instances involving all three, such as repeated instances of sexual activity before proper foreplay.
The tissues and fascia holding onto chronic guarding patterns can lead to desensitization, discomfort, pain, tension, and numbness, until the armour is released.
No matter what your experience has been, your body’s innate intelligence knows how to release the armour when you are supported in the right ways.
In this live hands-on training, we explore the 3 keys to establishing a solid foundation for genital dearmouring.
- First, how to bring safety within the nervous system - allowing the body to relish receiving touch.
- Second, how to reclaim the body’s authentic sovereignty through its voice and choice.
- Third, how to empower the body’s sexual autonomy through genital mapping.
- And how to apply the genital dearmouring practices from The 3 Keys Course in person, hands-on and hands-in.
Hi I’m Rahi.
Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker, and creator of Somatic Sexual Wholeness
For the past decade, I’ve been holding space to repair the ruptures affecting the safe embodiment of our sensual and sexual natures - from our developmental years, through adolescence, and into adulthood.
Amongst the wide variety of issues I’ve addressed in one-on-one sessions with hundreds of clients, a vast majority of them have involved genital dearmouring - the release of chronic guarding patterns, unexpressed emotions, and unintegrated experiences within the tissues and fascia of the genitalia leading to a desensitization to organic arousal and pleasure responses in the body.
In this live 4-day training, we create a safe container inviting the body to inform us how it wants to be touched, and how its armour wants to be met, metabolized and released.
I've had the pleasure of teaching Genital Dearmouring to the various Somatic Sex Education communities around the world both virtually and via in-person workshops, as well as online via The 3 Keys Course.
"As a practitioner, I am leaving with a much deeper embodiment of de-armoring and a slew of tools and skills to integrate into my practice. I also received so much personal healing; a new capacity for pleasure in my own body, a deeper sense of safety, and a new level of permission to desire what I like without fear."
- Ariel Szabo, Somatic Sex Educator

What Participants Are Saying
“I followed my intuition to attend the in-person training.... It was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
The opportunity to get hands-on experience with the techniques is invaluable. I now carry the knowledge somatically in my body - in my tissues and cells - not just theoretically.
Within a supportive and safe container, my body was able to relax deeply and truly receive the nourishment of pleasure as medicine. After years of feeling a contentious relationship with my body, I am finally able to align with her and give her exactly what she needs and desires….”
Madeline, Yoga teacher
“This for me was the missing link in my learning in the somatic sex education field.
Rahi found a way to condense in-depth information into a grounded approachable format that felt like a load being taken off my shoulders. He would demo a technique and then we would go directly into experiential practice with each other as participants which is how I learn!
I can’t say enough about how transformative and refreshing these 4 days were! I look forward to bringing forward all I learned and applying it with myself, clients and in somatic embodiment retreats I offer…”
