In this episode of the Nourished Nervous System, I welcome the insightful Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, sexological bodyworker and international speaker. 

Darshana takes us through her transformative journey from a corporate career to pioneering work in erotic wholeness, which fuses somatics, sex and intimacy, and trauma healing. 

We dive deep into the crucial connection between a regulated nervous system and fulfilling intimacy, discussing the pervasive effects of societal conditioning on women's self-perception, and exploring the powerful concept of eroticism as life force energy. 

Darshana shares both her professional insights and personal experiences, offering a comprehensive view of the healing journey that honors individual pace and challenges cultural norms. 

The episode is rich with actionable advice, including a grounding exercise that listeners can immediately incorporate into their lives.
