Cleo King is a sensuality coach, group facilitator and the Pleasure Academy Lead at CHEEX.

My Belief

I believe that the topic of sensuality encompasses a holistic and mindful approach to experiencing and embracing one's own life experience and vital energy while encouraging autonomy, promoting diversity, and challenging existing structures.

My Practice

I support people in exploring and expanding their innate sensuality, to the benefit of their emotional well-being and sex lives, as well as their relationships with themselves and, subsequently, with others.

My work focuses on helping people reshape by addressing questions such as:

• What can my body teach me? 

• How can I deepen my connection to myself?

• What insights can I gain by exploring my body?

• How do I shift narratives of shame to experience joy and confidence in my sexuality?

• How can self-care improve my connections with others?

• How can I let my emotions flow without identifying with them? 

• How do I communicate my needs and desires in my (sexual) relationships, including setting boundaries?

• How can I integrate the wisdom of my body into my daily life and interactions? 

• How can I reclaim my capacity for pleasure?

My Roles

In my private practice, I assist each client in establishing sensuality-based practices to cultivate healthy relationships between the soul, the body, and the surrounding world. Together, we develop your custom practice by integrating elements from various disciplines, including creative therapy, breathwork, sacred sexuality practices, Viet Tai Chi, and autogenic training.

In hour-long morning sessions, we engage in guided exercises to connect with your body. This practice sets you up for the day, fostering a sense of presence, groundedness, activation, and connection.

Through autogenic training, I support individuals and groups in accessing calm and relaxation to facilitate lasting change. The nervous system plays a crucial role in our body's fight-or-flight response, detecting environmental changes and working with the endocrine system to respond. Since the nervous system responds to experience rather than reason, relaxing becomes the key to embracing new ways of feeling and making lasting changes. 

As a workshop facilitator, I curate physical and digital spaces that welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds to explore their sensuality with authenticity. [For more details, explore upcoming topics in the schedule.]

On the sexual wellness platform CHEEX, I launched the Pleasure Academy—a content library and community space for expert-led education on sexuality and relationships. I also design inclusive sex-educational masterclasses, moderate several workshops, and host sexuality related Q&A sessions.

I also take opportunities for speaking and workshops.

My Path

For my entire life, I’ve been exploring sensuality as a concept and an experience, in one way or another.

Since my undergraduate studies in design, I explored sensuality via photography, performance and moving images. This period culminated with the multimedia project “Fruit Porn Tenderness,” which used photo, film, and performance to magnify the physical properties of fruit—color, odor, taste, and texture—as access points to human sensuality. 

In my quest for a deeper understanding of sensuality, I devoted time to researching touch and emotion through a master's program at the University of the Arts, Berlin. My research linked ideas of embodiment, community, and queerness, drawing inspiration from thinkers such as Donna Haraway, Audre Lorde, Karen Barad, Adrienne Maree Brown, and Jean-Luc Nancy. The goal was the proposal of new rituals for reintegrating emotion and sensation into consciousness.

To bridge theory with established successful practices, I underwent training in creative therapy, breathwork, sacred sexuality, Viet Tai Chi, and autogenic training. I’m a firm believer in practicing what I preach. Committed to continuous learning and growth, I integrate my discoveries into my practice and share them with the world. My life experiences shape my work today and will continue to shape my efforts tomorrow.
