Libby Sheppard

Libby Sheppard is a London and Stockholm-based bodyworker and

intimacy coach who believes that touch is the most powerful, yet

underutilized, tool we have for human wellbeing. Her work is

dedicated to a single, profound mission: helping people feel more,

both physically and emotionally.

​

Libby’s path to becoming an authority on touch was paved by a

decade-long exploration of movement and mechanics.

Before transitioning into somatic coaching, she moved through the

worlds of music, contemporary dance, and sports massage. This diverse

background provided her with an intuitive and technical understanding of how

the body holds tension, expresses rhythm, and responds to pressure.

​

To deepen the emotional resonance of her work, Libby integrated specialized training in Somatic Sex Education, The Wheel of Consent, and Tantric Bodywork. As a certified member of the Association of Certified Sexological Bodyworkers, she brings a trauma-informed lens to every session. This means her teachings are designed to feel safe and regulated, allowing the nervous system to move into the "rest and connect" state where true intimacy begins.

​

What sets Libby apart is her talent for de-mystifying professional bodywork. She specializes in translating complex techniques into accessible, home-based practices that require no special equipment. Whether she is teaching protocols for the living room sofa or the floor, her focus is on making conscious touch approachable, even when practiced fully clothed.

​

Central to Libby’s philosophy is the concept of "relaxed giving and active receiving." By teaching couples how to master this balance, she helps them dissolve the silent miscommunications that often build up in long-term relationships. Her guidance helps students move past the "domestic" routine and into a space of presence, intention, and extraordinary connection.
