About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Masturbation is more than a physical release—it's an opportunity for profound self-discovery, pleasure, and emotional integration that most of us have never been taught to explore.
You're likely facing:
- Goal-Oriented Pleasure - You rush toward orgasm without savoring the journey, missing out on deeper sensations and awareness.
- Emotional Disconnection - Feelings of shame, boredom, or discomfort arise during self-pleasure that you suppress rather than explore.
- Limited Body Awareness - Your focus remains narrowly on genital stimulation, neglecting the full-body potential for pleasure.
This course teaches you techniques to transform masturbation into a mindful practice through breathwork, full-body touch, and genital mapping. You'll learn to let go of orgasm as the goal, integrate emotions that arise, and develop a deeper connection with your body. These skills can lead to more satisfying self-pleasure experiences and greater bodily awareness.

Your Instructor
Libby Sheppard
Touch & Intimacy Expert
Libby Sheppard is a certified Intimacy Coach and Somatic Sex Educator with over a decade of experience transforming how people experience touch and pleasure. Her specialized training in Tantric Bodywork and Trauma Release techniques has equipped her to develop accessible mindful touch protocols that work for all bodies, regardless of past experiences.
Libby's journey began through movement—first as a musician and dancer—before discovering that touch was perhaps our most underutilized wellbeing tool. During the pandemic, she witnessed firsthand how touch deprivation affected mental health, reinforcing her belief that intentional self-touch isn't just pleasurable but essential. This realization deepened her commitment to teaching techniques that help people reconnect with their bodies in ways that feel safe, empowering, and profound.
Libby's teaching philosophy centers on making professional-level techniques accessible for everyone—no special equipment needed. Her trauma-informed methodology emphasizes "relaxed giving and active receiving," creating a foundation for self-exploration that integrates emotional awareness with physical sensation. She expertly guides students to slow down and transform goal-oriented habits into mindful practices of self-discovery.
Course FAQ
This course is designed for everyone, regardless of your experience with mindfulness or self-pleasure practices. Libby guides you step-by-step through each technique, starting with foundational breathwork and gradually building to more advanced exploration. You'll receive clear instructions that make these powerful practices accessible, even if you've never approached masturbation mindfully before.
Libby recommends starting with shorter 10-15 minute sessions once or twice a week, gradually extending as you become more comfortable. The course includes a practical implementation guide with suggestions for creating a conducive environment and integrating specific techniques like breathwork and non-genital touch into your existing self-pleasure habits. Many students find that even incorporating just one mindful technique transforms their experience significantly.
Not at all! This course is specifically designed as a solo journey of self-discovery and pleasure. While the awareness and techniques you develop may certainly enhance partner experiences later, the focus is entirely on deepening your relationship with your own body. Many students report that this independent exploration actually improves their intimate connections with others by increasing their communication skills and body confidence.
Most students report noticing subtle shifts in awareness and sensation during their very first mindful session, particularly when applying the breathwork techniques. The full integration of emotional awareness and expanded pleasure capacity typically develops over 3-4 weeks of regular practice. Remember that this is a journey of exploration rather than a destination—each practice session offers new discoveries about your unique pleasure potential.
Unlike approaches that focus primarily on physical techniques or achieving stronger orgasms, Libby's method integrates your emotional, physical, and energetic experiences into a holistic practice. This course is unique in its emphasis on pleasure-mapping both genital and non-genital areas, emotional integration, and removing goal-oriented pressure. The techniques draw from evidence-based mindfulness practices specifically adapted for sexual wellness and self-discovery.
Absolutely! This course specifically includes Emotional Integration Practices designed to help you acknowledge and process feelings that arise during self-pleasure. Libby's shame release methods and self-compassion exercises provide practical tools for transforming discomfort into acceptance. Many students find these emotional elements to be the most transformative part of the course, helping them release blocks they didn't even realize were limiting their pleasure.
No special equipment is necessary—just yourself, some privacy, and perhaps some body-safe lubricant if you wish. Libby recommends creating a comfortable, interruption-free space where you can fully relax. The course includes guidance on setting up your environment to support mindfulness, but elaborate preparations aren't required. Your curiosity and willingness to explore are the most important elements you'll bring to this practice.
