For Any Body With a Body

Reclaim Boundaries • Deepen Connection • Empower Your Choices

What is The Wheel of Consent?

The Wheel of Consent™ is a simple, powerful framework by Dr Betty Martin that helps you understand how to give and receive touch, care, and attention with clarity.
It reveals who an action is really for, allowing you to communicate boundaries, ask for what you want, and say no with confidence.

The benefits:

Move from obligation to authentic choice
Heal people-pleasing and boundary confusion
Express desires clearly and confidently
Respect your own limits and those of others
Build deeper, more honest relationships

“I had read Betty Martin's book, but this course gave me opportunities to do interactive practices, and reflect on them with the group, and that was very precious."

Waking Up the Hands is a simple yet powerful Wheel of Consent™ practice created by Dr Betty Martin to help you reconnect with your body’s sensations, presence, and pleasure. It’s one of the core foundations of embodied consent work and a beautiful way to slow down, awaken touch awareness, and build authentic intimacy.
I teach Waking Up the Hands in my Wheel of Consent workshops, Men’s Sex Coaching, and Sex Therapy sessions, and I’ve also created a free video tutorial so you can experience the practice at home, an easy, non-sexual way to reconnect with your senses and your body’s wisdom.

Podcast: The Consent Revolution
Podcast with Fennel Waters of Sex Positive Community Vermillion

Consent is more than just saying “yes” or “no.” It’s an ongoing conversation — with yourself and others — about choice, awareness, and respect.

Through my work with The Wheel of Consent™, I’ve witnessed how learning to articulate desire, boundaries, and willingness transforms not just intimacy, but life itself. When we understand what we want and can speak it without shame or fear, we create the foundation for real freedom, trust, and pleasure.

“I’ve faced some of my most shameful fears with you Sian and never felt judged. You’ve encouraged me through all of the darkness into finding the light again. I feel so much more alive and I can trust myself to communicate properly in all aspects of finding a new sexually fulfilling relationship”

Men's Sex Coaching Client

"The whole programme, has been completely transformative for me. I’m not the same person I was when I started. […] I can honestly say that it’s been one of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever done. I now understand why I was held back from forming relationships before"

The Sexual Empowerment Programme Client

“[Sian] made very useful and helpful suggestions. She helped me grow and learn in a gentle, positive way. I highly recommend Sian and the knowledge and care she brings to her sessions.”

The Advantage Client

How Do I Use The Wheel of Consent Across Other areas of my Work?

Consent is more than simply “yes” and “no”, because interactions between people are never that simple, we are far too interesting and complex for that!

For the most part, our desires (our needs) are mostly buried under layers of self judgement, embarrassment (shame) or just not knowing! What we want is often unclear or unspoken, so instead we try to muddle on with a mixture of second guessing, performance, telepathy and people pleasing. I don’t know about you, but that never seemed to get me anywhere, least of all to the kind of intimacy and relationships I really longed for.

To get the most out of our intimacy we first need to get really clear about what we want, how to trust what we want, how to value it and then to ask for our needs to be met in a way that is clear and clean.

When we add one or more other people into the equation, each of whom are also trying to get their needs met and using the less-than-helpful guesswork-performance-telepathy-pleasing approach, everything can get a bit messy.

This is what makes consent so exciting. If we can work through our shyness of talking about our wants and desires, of trusting that neither you or your partner(s) are weird and that you can talk about this stuff, consent can be very fun and very sexy!

Which is why consent is absolutely fundamental to all of my work and interwoven into everything I offer, from Wheel of Consent workshops and events to The Advantage Programme.

Want a Wheel of Consent Workshop Come to You?

I organise and hold in person and online workshops and events, anywhere from 2 hours to 5 days. I also deliver workshops at festivals and other hosted events and venues. Got a venue? Or want to produce an event? Get in touch by email or arrange a call.

ARRANGE A CALL WITH SIAN

What people say about working with me...

“I just completed five sessions with Sian. She is wonderful. She listens and cares. She made very useful and helpful suggestions. She helped me grow and learn in a gentle, positive way. I highly recommend Sian and the knowledge and care she brings to her sessions.”

“I wanted to say a big thank you for everything you’ve done for me over the last few months 🙂 The whole program has felt life changing to be honest, all the anxiety that I had around intimacy pretty much feels like a thing of the past now. I really don’t know what I’d have done without you.
I imagine it could still take a bit of ‘getting used to’ when it comes to actually sleeping with someone again, but I definitely don’t find the idea of it daunting anymore and definitely don’t feel the need to be relying on alcohol or avoiding sex altogether.
I actually feel a little sad now that the program is coming to an end ha 🙂 I’ve found you to be very supportive and understanding and also I had such a laugh with you at the same time.”

“I have been seeing Sian for some years now and have thoroughly enjoyed what she offers and teaches, from Tantric Massage to Ecstatic Dancing. However, the day-long Tantric Fusion Retreat, which she designed specifically for me, took everything to a different level. Sian used the whole panoply of her experience, knowledge and techniques to guide me into a completely aroused but trance-like state driven by sexual energy. This was like nothing I had experienced before; it was the highest sustained arousal I have ever achieved. Over time, and with continued guidance from Sian, I am sure I will achieve my goal of totally self-aware transcendence.”

“I wanted to say a big thank you for everything you’ve done for me over the last few months. The whole programme has felt life changing to be honest. All the anxiety that I had around intimacy pretty much feels like a thing of the past now. I really don’t know what I’d have done without you.

I actually feel a little sad now that the programme is coming to an end! I’ve found you to be very supportive and understanding and also I had such a laugh with you at the same time.”

“My experience of working with you and completing the programme was unique, intriguing and eye-opening. It was a rollercoaster of a learning experience as I never thought having control over ejaculation was even possible yet alone learnable. What you have taught me is invaluable and literally life changing, and I will be forever grateful to you for this. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the whole learning experience in helping me achieve my goals and helping me feel empowered in my choices and decisions. Your teaching style is captivating, and you make the whole experience very enjoyable at the same time informative and to the point. I think what helps the experience even more is you mix your sessions with theory and practice. I would 100% recommend you without hesitation."

"The whole programme, which took me seven months to complete, has been completely transformative for me. I’m not the same person I was when I started. It’s been a huge commitment, particularly from the emotional perspective, but I can honestly say that it’s been one of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever done. I now understand why I was held back from forming relationship before. I don’t know what the future will hold, but thanks to Sian I do know that I’m now much better equipped to make the most of it!"

“I’d heard about Sian from a Tantra Festival where she was running a workshop and I got in touch to see if I could work with her on a problem that has been with me for 35 years. I had at this point pretty much accepted defeat. I doubted that I could fully express my masculine side ever again!

I admit, I was very nervous to begin with, but Sian helped me to relax and guided me to make choices during the session and go at a pace that was just right for me. I’m so glad I went ahead with this. The talking part was essential to begin with and the bodywork was the deepest I have ever experienced.

In just one session I got clear glimpses of how to move forward. Sian’s generosity in that session was a gift to me that I will always treasure, it was the key that unlocked me and led me through the fear to exactly where I wanted to be. It was all just life changing!
Me and my body are so grateful for the opportunity to experience what Sian and I shared.”

“I’d like to thank you again for a very positive experience last week. It is a testament to your skill, training and professionalism that I felt so comfortable and found it so rewarding. The intentions that were set were all fully satisfied and I’m sure there will be many other benefits. It’s obviously no coincidence that since the session I’ve have felt an increase in my sense of vitality, wellbeing and confidence. It was really good to re-connect with my masculine and sexual self in such a safe, welcoming and encouraging environment. I have challenged myself to harness this power and confidence and to carry it forward."

"I have learnt so much during the programme and it has introduced many techniques and strategies to help address my premature ejaculation. The touch exercises have given me an understanding of the nuances of being touched and touching. I had no idea that self touch could be so fulfilling having previously thought it was always a poor second and perhaps not the real thing. I have also gained a huge amount of confidence in knowing and asking for what I want within a consensual relationship. The programme was a rollercoaster of emotions and sometimes frustration but what a great way to learn and Sian is the perfect teacher — always patient, always kind and always fun."

“I have been to a number of tantra teachers over the past six years. I started going to online sessions with Sian several months ago and have been back on a regular basis. She is one of the very best tantra teachers I have been to. She is friendly, accepting and helpful. She has increased my capacity to experience pleasure enormously. She listens and teaches me what I need. She has a wealth of knowledge and techniques that are so beneficial and pleasurable. She has shown me new kinds of touch that have enhanced my sensual pleasure. Every session includes new learning. What she has taught me has significantly changed my mood, my happiness, and my enjoyment of life. I highly recommend Sian. I wish all humans could learn to experience such joy and pleasure. I also realise that people can learn new ways to experience pleasure at any age!”

"I worked with Sian on the Sexual Empowerment Programme with 20 hours of face-to-face sessions over 7 months, plus time for homework and practice of new techniques between each session. It has been the greatest, most revelatory, confidence-building, empowering 7 months I could have ever wished for. I feel more empowered, confident, and comfortable in my intimacy than ever before and my new relationship is blossoming better than I could have wished for too."
