Erin Ryan
Erin Ryan is a trauma-informed certified Somatic Sexologist and Therapeutic Yoni Massage Practitioner specializing in female sexuality and somatics for the female nervous system. Her mission is to support individuals in the realms of pleasure, expression, and intimacy through a holistic approach; addressing the body, mind, spirit, and emotions as a collaborative whole. Erin’s approach combines elements of inclusive sexual education, somatic body-based expression and awareness, female nervous system literacy, cyclical living, and female anatomical education.
Erin grew up in Southern California (where she currently resides, but travels often!) with a curiosity of her pleasure and body from a young age. As she began exploring her own body as a young girl, she quickly found that this was “unacceptable” in her world.
For years, Erin carried feelings of shame and guilt around her sexual expression and desires. This came from many years of disempowering sexual experiences, trauma, collective conditioning, and complete disconnection from her yoni and body. As she set on a quest to heal and live with an open heart, she found authenticity in her expression.
After an extremely profound and cathartic first therapeutic yoni massage in 2019; a seed was planted in her, knowing that this ancient modality needed to be shared all over the world with as many vulva-havers as possible. A fire was lit in her to devote herself to the path of holistic sexuality and the mysteries of the sacred erotic to support other vulva-havers in creating a deeper intimacy with self, others, and the world around us.
Erin’s most heart centered intention is to create sacred, ceremonious spaces for individuals to surrender to the deepest parts of themselves. To feel safe, seen, and held so they can find freedom through their process. Individuals walk away from sessions with confidence in understanding their anatomy, feeling alive in their bodies, cultivating a love for their unique yoni, and a sense of openness as a result of moving slowly at the body’s own pace.
Through honoring the nuance and complexity of our female physiology, there is a sweet space where we can finally feel fully inhabited in our bodies to then make choices and create from HERE. She believes through embracing the full spectrum of our human experience, shadow to light and everything in between, we find liberation and freedom. Your life is your masterpiece and to approach every moment through the lens and heart of the artist creates a wildly robust human experience. This is her devotion!
Erin currently offers in-person sessions for her hands-on bodywork in the Los Angeles and Southern California area and offers virtual sessions via somatic sex coaching package options internationally.

I recently received my first yoni massage by Erin and felt the need to share my experience. Going in, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect. Right away, Erin made me feel safe and informed. She spent time explaining every part of the massage so I knew exactly what would happen. I see her almost like a yoni doctor because she speaks with logic and facts but in such a loving and nurturing way, which made me feel completely comfortable. During the massage I had an awakening to a deep trauma I thought I had already dealt with. I felt pain, but with Erin’s guidance and breathwork, the pain was released and I felt revitalized. After the session I was calmer, lighter, and more grounded than ever before. Days later, I still feel peace with my yoni and deep gratitude for the release she guided me through. Everyone needs a yoni massage and Erin is the perfect person for it.
Having recently embarked on a journey of self-discovery and sensuality later in life, I was drawn to explore more about my yoni, its intricacies, and its significance. My experience with Erin during the yoni mapping session was truly enlightening and transformative. Erin exuded a profound sense of love and compassion, creating a safe and nurturing space for me to explore. Her professionalism and guidance were exceptional, as she carefully led me through each step, ensuring my comfort and security. During the session, I was able to release deep emotions and connect with my body in ways I never had before. Erin’s expertise helped me gain a deeper understanding of my anatomy, fostering empowerment and self-awareness. I wholeheartedly recommend Erin’s yoni mapping services to anyone seeking self-discovery, sensuality, and healing. The experience was profoundly transformative and left me with deep appreciation for my body and its capabilities.
For any woman experiencing a yoni massage for the first time, I know how strange it may feel. You may question, “Is this right for me?” I had the same thought before my first yoni massage ceremony. The moment I walked into Erin’s space and she explained the flow with such care, all hesitation melted away. Erin is not only highly skilled but deeply attuned, creating a safe and sacred space. During the ceremony I had emotional releases I wasn’t expecting, and Erin held me through it all with compassion and steady support. She also educated me on my anatomy - my G-spot, cervix, A-spot, and more - helping me understand where I hold pain and pleasure. Days after, I felt like an open channel for creativity, love, and inspiration. My whole being feels more connected and alive. Every woman deserves this kind of healing. Erin’s work reminded me of the importance of nurturing and liberating the energy within my yoni.
I’m so grateful to have found Erin and her work in the ancient, sacred art of yoni massage. She’s a perfect fit for this work... down to earth, connected with her feminine sensuality, and graceful in creating and holding a ritual space. The session was a beautiful ceremony, centered on my intentions and attuned to my yoni’s ever-changing landscape. I felt deep in my knowing that we, as womb holders, have been doing this work for millennia... caring for each other in this way because it is deeply connective, healing, and nourishing. All essential needs for our sacred portal, our yonis. It’s incredible that Erin is bringing this ancient sacred art into the contemporary world, into the community, into the now. I loved my session and the healing that rippled out from our few hours together. My yoni and my whole being are so appreciative and grateful.
The yoni massage I received from Erin was so enlightening. I was able to notice and release unwanted tension. I went into the experience with curiosity and left with a deep sense of self-knowing I didn’t expect. During the session, emotions surfaced that I hadn’t realized were there, allowing me to forgive myself for past unpleasant experiences. I was blown away by Erin’s ability to make me feel so safe, held, and comfortable throughout. Now that I’ve experienced this, I recommend anyone with a yoni to explore this beautiful form of opening and self-acceptance. It is a journey of healing, awareness, and connection that I will carry with me forever, filled with gratitude.
I started hearing about yoni massages and was intrigued, though incredibly nervous for my first appointment. Erin answered all my questions and shared a detailed itinerary that eased my nerves. She began with a calming breathing exercise that helped me feel comfortable and supported. Throughout the session, Erin ensured we moved at a pace that felt right for me. I learned so much about my body as she taught me about parts I didn’t even know I had, including how to access my G-spot, A-spot, and other pleasure points. This knowledge has helped me experience deeper and more consistent pleasure. I also re-learned what it means to truly care for my yoni, understanding that relaxation and gentle care are just as important as pleasure. The massage released stored tension, leaving my whole body softened and rejuvenated. It was a beautiful self-care experience, and Erin was an incredible, supportive guide.
