Esther Ogilvie
Bio: Esther Ogilvie is a transformative force in trauma recovery, sexuality, and somatic embodiment, empowering individuals and couples to reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their relationships. With over a decade of experience, she brings a deeply intersectional, trauma-informed approach to therapy, education, and group facilitation. Esther’s work spans a broad spectrum of areas, including anxiety and depression, emotional and nervous system regulation, family violence, interpersonal dynamics, and sex and sexuality-related challenges. She is also a qualified menstrual health educator, family violence practitioner, and sex and gender empowerment coach, with a strong commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for people of all identities and backgrounds—including the LGBTQI+ community and sex workers. Through both therapy and dynamic boundary and embodiment workshops, Esther guides clients in exploring intimacy, desire, relational patterns, and personal empowerment.
Her client-centred, holistic approach integrates modalities such as somatic embodiment, attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, psycho-spiritual practices, and mindfulness-based techniques like ACT, CFT, and transpersonal therapy. Esther specialises in helping clients build emotional resilience, regulate their nervous systems, and develop authentic, compassionate connections. Whether working with individuals or couples, her work often explores conscious kink, non-monogamy, tantra, and non-violent communication—always with a focus on consent, safety, and self-expression.
With global experience in trauma, gender, and sexual embodiment, Esther’s work is grounded in social justice and resisting oppression while guided by a passion for helping others heal, awaken, and express their full selves—emotionally, relationally, and sexually.
Festival Offering:
Divine Wild Performance:
Erotic embodiment is an intimate, transformative practice—an invitation to drop deep into ritual with your own body, to create a loving, reverent container for your pleasure and power. This is about moving eros beyond the confines of the genitals, awakening it as a full-body current that flows through every inch of you. It’s about discovering what feels exquisitely good in the moment, allowing your body to guide you, and giving voice to your desire through uninhibited sound and movement. In the first half of this workshop, you will learn how to silence the noise of the mind, dissolve self-consciousness, and surrender fully to your own erotic energy with ritualistic elements. You’ll be guided to feel and move your eros with deep presence, tapping into the raw, untamed pleasure that already exists within you. The second part of this journey will take you into the realm of sex magik—manifesting from a place of self-pleasure and embodied ritual. This is a deeply personal experience; clothing is optional, and the focus remains entirely on your own body and space. You will not engage with others—this is a ceremony of self-worship, liberation, and erotic empowerment.
