About Dr. Namita Caen

MEET DR. NAMITA CAEN

Was the concept of desire, sexual satisfaction or self- pleasure part of your Sex Ed class?

Growing up in the UK, my so-called Sex-Ed class consisted of a plethora of vague, confusing and often flawed messages about contraception, pregnancy, STI’s and intercourse. 

I entered the dating world with hangups about my body and the daunting prospect of trying to appear sexually confident. I felt awkward, insecure and utterly unprepared. 

I was having sex but I wasn’t having healthy, satisfying or deeply pleasurable sexual experiences. Determined to demystify the world of sex, I set off on a quest to explore what sexuality could be outside the confines of British moral and cultural sexual norms. This lifelong study eventually led me to become a Doctor of Human Sexuality. I am Tantra, kink, poly, LGBTQ+, sex work friendly and trauma-informed. 

My mission is to embrace the richness of human sexuality and to celebrate diverse expressions of intimacy. I welcome clients from all communities including BIPOC, disabled, bigger-bodied, LGBTQ+, gender expansive, Sex workers, Tantra, Kink and Polyamorous.

I am committed to creating a Trauma-informed, safe, compassionate and understanding space for individuals of all racial and cultural backgrounds. Whether you seek support individually or as part of a couple, my practice is dedicated to guiding you toward a healthy, more satisfying, and deeply pleasurable understanding of your own sexuality. I offer a judgment-free environment of acceptance, respect, and empowerment.

Congratulations for investing in your sexuality, and welcome!

Healthy sexuality holds a key that unlocks our potential for profound healing, deep intimacy, erotic pleasure and passionate loving relationships.
