Art of Touch cards
Embodiment, Connection & Awakening - Somatic Therapy cards for couples
"A deck of elegant, illustrated cards guiding touch,
safety, and intimacy.”
​
Love grows strongest when it is felt, not just spoken. The Art of Touch Cards invite you and your partner into moments of deeper connection and embodiment—where presence, breath, and gentle touch create intimacy beyond words. Each card is a doorway into safety, play, and tenderness, helping you rediscover closeness and joy in your relationship.
​
Thoughtfully designed and trauma-informed, the deck is divided into healing and intimacy pathways: Individual Practice Cards (3 sets) to guide you back into your own body with grounding, self-regulation, and embodiment practices—and Couple’s Cards (2 sets), blending easy tantra with healing touch to spark closeness, curiosity, and repair. Together, they create a rhythm of connection that meets both your personal and shared needs.
​
More than a deck, it is a healing journey. Some cards will invite laughter, others quiet stillness, and some tender intimacy—but all are created to help you feel safe, present, and more fully alive together. Whether used on date nights, quiet evenings, or as a gentle way of healing after trauma, the Art of Touch Cards support couples in weaving safety, passion, and love into a deeper embodied bond.

How to use the cards
On your own
You can use the first three sets for solo practice. Many people like to do a daily practice, usually in the morning, or anytime you can find a little peace and quiet. The body-oriented meditations or Qigong-like exercises are quick and effective at helping you centre, ground, and regulate your nervous system.
​
With a partner
I recommend you do a few of the solo exercises first (drawing from the first 3 sets). You can do most of these together if you choose. Then you can decide whether to go for connection and fun - Easy Tantra for Couples, or a healing session - Deep Safety Partner Touch-work.
​
A healing session with a friend
​
Do some solo practices together, drawing from the first 3 sets. Then take turns doing a 1 hour healing session each, using the Deep Safety: Partner Touch-work cards.
“Rediscover connection, deepen intimacy: Art of Touch cards help you explore, communicate and love in new ways.”

Deep Safety: Partner Touch-work - This is a profound healing practice to offer your friend or partner (take turns so you both get to give and receive). The essence is in becoming absolutely present and learning to feel the subtle energies of when we come into coherence (presence, safety, deep relaxation) with another person. Then we begin to co-regulate, benefiting both the giver and receiver.

Plus a 40 page booklet, which is easy to read and apply. The booklet discusses Somatics, Tantra, the importance of the Heart, and how to become trauma informed. It goes into detail on how to do the partner touch-work practice.

The Story...
​
I created the Art of Touch cards in 2022, as a resource for my clients and students, and the greater awakening population.
​
Healing from trauma and becoming embodied has been the biggest challenge of my life. My greatest achievement has been rewiring my nervous system from feeling dissociated, unsafe and chronically guarded, to feeling more present, alive and relaxed in my body. I also rewired my sexuality from frozen (anyone remember being called frigid?) to fully embodied and multi-orgasmic!
​
Relationship, for me, has been a fertile ground for growth. It has inspired me to get better at communication, boundaries, and heal my own stuff, so that I can be more available to giving and receiving love.
​
A deep experience of SAFETY in the body is the key, but that's easier said than done... It is my hope that the cards be a guide for you, on your journey home to your body, its innate intelligence, and your natural state of being.​
​
The Art Deco theme speaks to me of classy style, bohemian adventurous spirit, decadence (when it comes to self-love), celebration and playfulness, yet within boundaries.
​
These cards are trauma-informed, thereby gentle, accessible and safe for most people to try and enjoy.
​
I hope you enjoy using these cards as much as I do!
