You'll learn practical techniques to ground your nervous system and awakening your sensory awareness. These embodied practices help you communicate boundaries confidently, follow your authentic desires, and transform touch into an art form of connection.

Michael Dresser
Sexological Bodyworker & Intimacy Coach
Michael Dresser is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker and Core Faculty Member at the School of Consent, specializing in transformative touch practices and the Wheel of Consent framework. After guiding countless individuals and couples toward more fulfilling physical relationships, he's developed a revolutionary approach to consent that makes intimate connection feel natural, practical, and genuinely sexy.
After spending 20 years in London's fast-paced professional world, Michael experienced a profound personal transformation in his relationship with intimacy. This turning point revealed the power of separating giving from receiving – what he calls "non-reciprocal touch" – which freed him from performance pressure and revealed authentic desires. This discovery became his mission: helping others move beyond touch that's clouded by obligation to experience connection that's clear, consensual, and deeply pleasurable.
Michael's approach centers on practical, immediately applicable skills rather than theoretical overload. He breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized exercises that create noticeable shifts the very same day. Students consistently describe his teaching style as warm, accessible, and refreshingly straightforward – making the seemingly complex world of consent feel natural and even exciting.
