Meet Quinn Kush
Quinn Kush
Hey There, I'm Quinn Kush, Alternative Pleasure & Embodiment Coach based in Melbourne. I have grown into this title from being an intimate bodyworker and cuddle therapist for women. Holding over 500+ touch based session to support their connection to pleasure.
These alternative women come to me when don’t know how to receive pleasure, unsure of their needs and trapped in their minds.They leave INSPIRED, with practical tools they can use in everyday life, alongside a deeper capacity to hold intimacy, pleasure, and care without shutting down, over-giving, or losing themselves in the process. This is transformational pleasure work for the big hearted over-givers!!!!!
The broader umbrella for my work is called Tender Core - it's a movement of pleasure activism and radical self expression as a form of rebellion against the capitalist narrative that keeps us disconnected, dis-regulated and isolated from caring for our true selves. At Tender Core, we don’t see slow pleasure as indulgence…. We see it as nervous system regulation baby!
Besides working 1:1 with you, I have curated hundreds of group transformational experiences for those seeking deeper connection to themselves. This work blends the elements of somatic experiences, creative processes, touch therapy, mindfulness, breath-work, habit re-formation, self-expression and play to help babes enhance their capacity to step out of old cycles of over-giving, auto-pilot and people pleasing to life with more pleasure.
My work isn’t about surface-level empowerment or fluffy abstract stuff— it’s about creating new reference points in the body you can actually feel what regulation, softness, boundaries, and connection are meant to feel like instead of concepts.
This work is deeply personal to me. For years, I was incredibly good at giving energy, care, love, and emotional labour to others, while feeling disconnected from my own ability to receive those things back. Learning how to safely receive support, pleasure, touch, and nourishment became one of the biggest missing pieces in my own healing and relationships. That lived experience is what allows me to resonate so deeply with the people I work with and create spaces where they feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe enough to soften into the aliveness they know is possible.
Working with me looks playful, practical, inspirational, educational, sexy and down to earth. I have spent the last 15+ years in devotion to my own practice and gathering tools and education to guide you closer to yourself. Come wait to meet you!
From Over Giving to Radical Receiving
For those who are ready to explore what it truly means to be held by life instead of always holding everything together themselves.
Across the weekend, you’ll be guided through a powerful blend of mindfulness and relational exercises or practicing giving and receiving touch, breath-work, touch, movement, creativity, and honest connection — all designed to expand your capacity for intimacy, softness, self-expression, and pleasure. This is a space to step out of auto-pilot and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have become buried beneath over-responsibility, hyper-independence, and emotional exhaustion. IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW.
Rather than just talking about abstract healing, Radical Receiving gives you direct lived experiences of safety, connection, and authentic relating inside your body. Expect deep transformation, practical integration tools, playful exploration, and the kind of meaningful connection that reminds you what it feels like to be fully human again!!!!!!
This is an incredible way to do the work of Tender Core in a live group setting and a pre lude to the online program!

The workshop last night was like years of therapy for me. I was in a dreaming bubble for 24 hours - I learnt a lots and I can now integrate it. Thank you, Honestly for making things I would think to be possible, possible. Magic in its purest form - Bri
I am so grateful that I stumbled upon Quinn and their Tender Core offerings. They have helped me navigate through some very significant life events. Each Tender Core event has provided me with something different. A new insight into what my needs are, how to safely communicate these to others, how to break old thought patterns, how to be comfortable in my own skin and most importantly, how to manage my inner landscape when life gets tough. I have laughed, cried, moved, sang, even raged and Quinn has held me throughout these moments. There is a spiritual element to her work that I really connect with, and many of my daily rituals have come from the sessions that I have attended. These continue to support my growth and inner healing in ways that I can never truly explain. Whether it’s attending a Touch Portal event, weekend workshop, longer retreat or embarking on a 1:1 journey with Quinn, you will be held safely and supported to move at your own pace as you build your confidence to be your own Rockstar. Thanks so much Quinn, but as I always say...thanks never seems to be enough💜Nyx.
