Betty Martin

Betty is a Chiropractor, Body Electric School trained Sacred Intimate, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Foundations of Facilitation trainer, and a self-propelled erotic adventurer and intimacy coach with 30 years experience in therapeutics and body-based erotic education. bettymartin.org

Dr. Betty Martin is a Chiropractor, a Body Electric School trained Sacred Intimate, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Foundations of Facilitation trainer, and a self-propelled erotic adventurer and intimacy coach.

Every one of these and more has contributed to her understanding of the nature of touch.

Betty is one of those lucky people who grew up in the touch-y feel-y hippie years. Then she got serious and went to Chiropractic school and learned to touch with some clear intent.

That makes about 30 years as a hands-on professional, first in therapeutics – Chiropractic, Educational Kinesiology, Reiki, Neuro-Emotional Integration – and later in body-based erotic education, including sensual massage, Taoist Erotic Massage, Kashmiri tantric massage and Sexological Bodywork.

Betty has taught peer counseling, gender liberation, embodiment and empowerment, fantasy play, goddess awakening and erotic massage. She's played with contact improv dance, Authentic Movement, Non-Violent Communication and Shaivic tantra. She is a student of The Work of Byron Katie, and a Board member to train and certify new facilitators for a touch and communication workshop called Cuddle Party.
