Eduardo was very intuitive and caring when working with me to identify my physical and emotional traumas and helped me release them in a non judgmental, safe and loving space to allow healing and growth. The office space is warm convenient and inviting. I appreciate his work and it is very unique and affective. read more

Eduardo is a true professional. I saw him for somatic repatterning to help process the loss and grief of my father's death. I'm very grateful for his skilled intuition and ability to create a safe container. I will be recommending him to friends and colleagues. read more

I discovered Eduardo and Somatic Sexual Repatterning a few years back. I hesitated at the time but decided to dive in 3 months ago. Do not hesitate like I did! Eduardo is a kind, patient, healing , playful soul who guided me through my past sexual and non sexual trauma in a very safe space. He assisted me in uncovering, diffusing and healing buried trauma/issues that were preventing me from being fully vulnerable, intimate and present in my relationships. During our sessions I was pleasantly surprised by what we were able to discover together. I often thought, "Where did that come from?". He helped me look at events in my past that were affecting my present relationships. Eduardo is extremely professional, empathetic and skilled at what he does. I am more centered, confident and direct in stating what I want. I feel more peaceful, healthier, happier and comfortable in my skin. I will continue to do the exercises I learned from him. I had tried traditional therapy and never felt resolved or fulfilled by it. I am eternally grateful to Eduardo for the inner peace, calm and joy I feel. He is truly a gift! read more

Eduardo has creatively found a way to blend all of his previous modalities and experience to offer a unique, clean, healing space for anyone to move past any blocks and go deep into a place that may be hard to get to with other techniques and practitioners. read more

Eduardo did an incredible job for my first Somatic session. He's a very compassionate person which is vital for these types of therapies. I benefitted from a great emotional release and felt amazing after, better than I had in years. Want to refer him to all of my friends and clients as well. read more

I stumbled upon Eduardo through an incredibly lucky strike of serendipity - I was actually looking for a massage therapist to help me with my "tech neck"...and back, and shoulders, really my whole-body tension from my workaholic, chained-to-my-laptop existence. I read through his page and it sounded too good to be true - I couldn't believe someone actually did this kind of thing, and if this therapy did exist, why hadn't I heard of it? I checked almost every box in Eduardo's "here are some situations in which I can help" list. I'm a pretty anxious person, I have some trouble trusting others (particularly intimate partners), I find it challenging to recognize and express my feelings (especially negative ones; "are you ok?" "yes of course, I'm great, everything is great, why wouldn't it be great? Everything is SO great!"), I avoid conflict like covid before vaccines, and boundaries? What are boundaries? Are those like rules some people have to avoid experiencing things they don't like? So to put it mildly Eduardo's site sparked my interest: I re-read the site twice, checked Eduardo's picture again and reminded myself that anyone with such a warm smile can't be that scary, and I submitted the interest form. Eduardo got back to me within a day or so with an introductory call and follow up questionnaire before the first session. Throughout the whole intake process, Eduardo demonstrated excellent communication, complete professionalism, and thoughtfulness way beyond what I was expecting. He takes his work and clients very seriously, and invests the time in getting to know a potential client, their goals, explaining the practice, and determining together if it's a fit. I'll admit despite how impressed and reassured I was by our introductory call and the thorough questionnaire, I was still nervous: I'm not a spiritual person and maybe I'm not "spiritual-enough" for the practice? Maybe I'll frustrate Eduardo with my inability to relax and / or communicate? Maybe I'm just going to re-traumatize myself by signing up to work so intimately with some therapist I found online? My fears couldn't have been more unnecessary or further from my actual experience working with Eduardo. From the first 5 minutes in his company, I knew I had just met a truly special human being - a good person, through and through from the bedrock of his character ; a kind, compassionate and astoundingly wise person who actively listens and has a seemingly inexhaustible well of warmth, patience, compassion, intuition, and skill to draw upon in his work with clients. Eduardo is like a first-rate psychoanalyst and world-class massage therapist combined, creating a therapist who can help clients heal and grow emotionally through physical, holistic experience. He creates a safe space, a space of unconditional acceptance and care, which he holds for his client. He actively listens and inquires, thoughtfully and intuitively guiding the practice - through his mastery of bodywork and his interpersonal skills, Eduardo's therapy doesn't leave the body behind, it paces a client's physical, real, experience front and center, and creates opportunities to integrate positive physical and emotional experiences. This is an incredibly powerful technique which I've found to be astoundingly effective. Because of my work with Eduardo, for the first time in my life, I know what it feels like to be physically and emotionally completely safe and accepted by another person. And for the first time in my life, I am able to accept and trust that I can be cared for, without my having to "earn it" and without it coming with strings attached or conditions. This is life changing. I am calmer, my anxiety less frequently arising and less intense when it does. I feel more grounded in myself, in my body as well as my mind. My colleagues have been saying things like, "How are you so zen? I want to be like that." I have a fear of flying - I fly a lot (and used to fly weekly for work), I'm just constantly on the verge of a panic attack when in the air. Last month I flew on a plane and not only wasn't afraid, but actually enjoyed it. I am more aware of my feelings, and I accept them more and judge myself less for the negative ones - which is as liberating as it sounds. I learned how physical movement is an expression - or outlet - for emotions and their energy, and I can care for my body better. I'm not there yet, but I can see a path or road ahead built out of self-awareness, self-acceptance, kindness, trust, caring and being cared for, and feeling good. And my ability to see it is in no small part due to this amazing man who decided to devote his career to helping people like me, and all of the time he patiently spent guiding me by the hand towards that road. read more

I met Eduardo at a wellness event and was immediately drawn to his warmth and authenticity. Having now experienced his work, my initial instincts were spot on. Eduardo created a safe and comfortable space for me to explore my relationship to my body and my sexual/creative energy. He allowed for whatever was present to show up, while gently directing the focus toward my stated goal for the session. He communicated clearly and directly, conveying his sincere intent for the best possible outcome for the session. Eduardo's work is unique and provides an extraordinary opportunity to align with, and fully express, our most sacred, sensual and vital energy. Thank you Eduardo! read more

As a sex coach and integrative Somatic bodyworker, I was pleased to be referred to Eduardo when I felt like it was time for me to go deeper into my own sexual healing. I started hitting up against unresolved sexual trauma and shame around my current desires and needs. The repression of it started reverberating into my relationships and my work. I started shutting my power and vitality down as well as my sexual desire. Going into my first session, I wanted to feel powerful, strong and safe in my sexuality. I wanted to feel safe to experience desire on my terms, at my pace. With breath work, attuned affirmation cues, somatic boundaries coaching, bodywork and other tools, Eduardo held an incredible space for me to move through old trauma. I felt safe in releasing emotions and experiencing pleasure again in a way that helped me to better understand myself and my body. I've worked with and trained dozens of health professionals in the field of Somatic bodywork. Eduardo is a unique professional who holds depth and understanding of the complexities and nuances that can arise in the process of this important healing work. It takes time, experience and a lot of training to acquire the capacity of diverse skillset to bring someone through a transformational session like he does. I commend him for his work and I hope more people, especially women give themselves the chance to experience it. I came in from Montreal, Quebec to work with Eduardo. The Bay Area is lucky to have him! I will definitely refer my colleagues and clients his way. Thank you! read more

My partner and I felt comfortable and safe with Eduardo throughout our session. We saw him for a Yoni Massage training. It was the first time I had experienced another man touching my partner's pussy. I had been a bit nervous about how I would react to this emotionally. Eduardo addressed this for both of us, and his authentic care for the process got us relaxed. As we went through the training, I was in awe of how slowly and mindfully Eduardo was able to be with my partner and in teaching me how to touch her. It is clear to me that Eduardo has a deep commitment to healing and expanding what's possible for people with their sexuality, and how can create freedom in all areas of their lives. I recommend his services whenever the topic comes up, and that's pretty often in these days when repression of the feminine is finally being cast aside! read more

Working with Eduardo has been an incredible gift and I am so inspired by who he is as a practitioner, and a man. He is truly beautiful human being, inside and out. I am extremely passionate about work around intimacy, sexuality and deep interpersonal work. Because of the delicate nature of work around intimacy, it is so important that practitioners have a profound sense of presence, grounding and integrity. Having worked with many practitioners, I will say that I feel Eduardo held the best space I have ever experienced with a male practitioner around intimacy. He is such a beautiful being with a deep personal practice and dedication to becoming his best self in all ways. This is felt in his presence and gives me a sense of safety and inspiration. He inspires me to be the best version of myself. He is exquisitely attuned during sessions and picked up on many things I was unaware of, even the implications of ways I used certain words, for example. It is incredibly powerful to have someone hold such a present space and reflect back our easy of being in a gentle and loving, yet objective authentic manner. I had a very specific intention of what I wanted to work with and bring into my life. And I will say, it is all unfolding beautifully. Everything I wanted to look at, showed up clearly. Also, certain patterns that simply were not serving me, I have released. The most important part, for me I feel was that in a total surrender and trust, of not knowing how something would show up in my life, it appeared... in ways that far exceeded what I could imagination. I am very grateful and happy. I feel this is some of the most important personal work that anyone can take on.... and I am so grateful that Eduardo is doing this work. He is excellent, absolutely amazing. His integrity and presence and unmatched. I recommend him so highly to anyone who would like to really transform their life. I also want to share that he is trained so well in many different modalities and it really comes through in his work, he has done so much. You would be in the most wonderful care with Eduardo. He is truly a rare and precious gem. read more

Few times in our lives do we get to meet someone who is walking their truest path, aligned with heir dharma, not their Khama. Few times to we get to meet these people, let alone have the opportunity to work directly with them. Eduardo is without a doubt one of these people. His divinity exudes organically. In his presence, I was drawn to that same level of excellence, demanded to be in alignment with my truest self, my god-given abilities shone forth. If you do have the opportunity to work with him, if you commit to giving yourself this gift, you will find that you too have the potential to be one of these people who radiates, walking in congruency with your most divine self, in harmony. Thank you Eduardo Bettencourt, for being just who you are meant to be. read more

SSR was to me a powerful experience in ways that I could never imagine. I did not seek it to heal sexual or emotional traumas, nor to feel better with my body and sexuality, or to have a more pleasant, fulfilled or shameless sex life. I considered myself a very healthy and happy sexual being. I recurred to SSR because I was suffering chronic headaches after a concussion that was result of a car accident. I had tried to solve this issue in many many ways, but with little results. Very surprisingly, after a few sessions, my symptoms started to finally give me a break. It was definitely the turning point to full recovery. And It was also very clear to me that SSR was a powerful tool of self-discovery and empowerment in general, not only sexual. read more

Eduardo is an amazing practitioner and therapist in his field of sexuality and how that overlaps in life. I've had a number of friends see him as well as myself. Firstly the container he hold made me feel extremely safe to relax into exploring some of my edges, blocks and challenges with my sensuality, communication and intimacy. The series of session I had with him significantly helped me moved some stuck areas of my life that I've had challenges with for years. The way he taught me to interact with him with in the container of our work has helped me claim more empowerment in my intimate interaction in life, helped me get in touch with what I want and communicate it, and helped me start building deeper trust with my self in intimacy and in my life in general. The body if work I did with him has been quite a life changing experience. Thanks so much!! If you feel the inkling to explore this work I highly recommend just having a phone call with him where you can explore all ur thought, concerns and ask all the questions you need to. I'm learning slowly that following my inklings are very rewarding. read more

Eduardo changed the course of my life. When I sought help from him 18 months ago, I felt broken, emotionally and sexually. Reeling from the breakdown of my relationship and recovering from a mastectomy, I contacted him half heartedly, on the advice of a friend. It was the best decision I've ever made. Eduardo is uniquely gifted and it is hard to describe the power of his work. Over the course of a couple of months, he not only gave me tools and techniques to help me heal, but also transformed my entire outlook. Thanks to the work I did with him, I now have a lust for life. My new-found confidence has led me to learn new skills, find my passions and travel to places I would never have imagined. It has had an incredibly positive impact on all of my relationships and even my health. I cannot even imagine what my life would be like now if I had not experienced Somatic Sexual Repatterning. Eduardo is an exceptionally skilled healer and I would recommend him to anyone hoping to become the best version of themselves. read more

I LOVE what Eduardo is doing in the world! He is both exquisitely sensitive and imminently skilled and can expertly hold an open space for your deep feminine power to emerge as she pleases. I came to Eduardo more from a desire to explore than to heal (although healing definitely occurred) and I was delighted to discover that my body has so many hidden sources of pleasure! In the end, I experienced my work with Eduardo as a catalyst for a deep sexual flowering in myself and I would highly recommend his work to any woman eager to pursue her sovereignty in this domain. read more

Eduardo is a kind human being. Working with him was such a priviledge. Twas the first time, in a long time, I was able to let go for a moment and be present. His calm demeanor, his grounding nature and his willingness to be a guide through some things that have weighed on me for a while...the gift he brings to his work.. it's other wordly. I am eternally grateful to have met him and even more blessed to be able to work with him in a difficult time of my life. Truly a blessing. read more

It is rare that I write reviews, more inclined to refer due to my extremely busy schedule but I would be remiss to not make a public statement as to how fortunate it was to have a session with Eduardo. Although it is the greatest blessing in my life, being a mother of two children less than five years of age has also been an overwhelming shift, physically and emotionally. I've learned that it is a common struggle to achieve the consistency of a vibrant sex life when becoming a parent and absolutely taxing on a relationship. I was relieved to discover Eduardo as I gained the awareness through our private session that I was not "broken" but needed to release pain and trauma that I did not realize was still present from childhood. Through sound bath, breathing techniques, acupressure/bodywork and affirmations-the residuals of past wounds to present, came to surface. It was an emotional release with a sense of peace after a storm. Just as the 1st, the 2nd phase of the session required absolute trust and open mind in order to achieve and sustain an orgasmic state & be able to identify exactly how you can reach that point mentally and physically. Eduardo had supreme bedside manner in culmination, which involved journaling and personalized tips to incorporate into daily practice. I was extremely pleased with my private session and look forward to couples therapy in the future! read more

I cannot express enough how life altering the sessions with Eduardo have been. Going into the experience, I was nervous, consistently apologizing, and carrying a lot of negative history. By the time I had completed the last session, I had discarded all of that and replaced it with confidence, strength, positivity and self-respect. I have learned more about myself over the last few months than I have my whole life. Eduardo's intuition is one that is a truly rare gift, and he has the ability to make you feel 100% safe and comfortable within seconds. His patience is abundant, as is the respect he gives. Thanks to the tools he has provided me with, I can move forward in a whole new exciting world. read more

I came upon Eduardo's work in SSR through a series of wonderful synchronicities. As an artist, I knew I had a treasure trove of creative potency and power within me that was asking to come through...I also knew that opening this treasure trove required bravely opening myself up to my sexual beauty and power and healing old patterns that were in the way of this flow. Eduardo allowed me to open the door for myself in such a loving and generous way. He is truly gifted at what he does, and it was quite profound to receive that level of multi dimensional masculine sexual awareness. I noticed how beautifully he got out of his own way and just allowed for the session to go where ever it needed to go to be of most benefit. In just one session I felt lifetimes of old stuck energies leave my body, new clarity and strength come into my cells, and a beautiful welcoming flow return. My body was ready for this next step and Eduardo held the door open so skillfully and with such masculine grace. Eduardo is doing wonderful work here! read more

Eduardo has a gift for holding safe space with integrity and compassion. He is unique in this field of healing work and his skillful approach is life changing. He listens with his whole being and holds an incredible state of presence. It is so important to feel safe and nurtured when exploring old patterns and the relationship with our body. Eduardo creates a strong container of safety and acceptance while supporting your process with skillful mastery. I recommend this incredible work and have sent several friends to him as well. This is life changing work! read more

Eduardo is a very skilled somatic healer. I was his business partner for roughly 1.5 years and I witnessed first hand how gifted he is in the art of sexual healing. I strongly recommend him for somatic sexual repatterning. He creates a very safe space for healing. read more

I originally met Eduardo through a mutual friend and one day he started talking about the sexual healing work that he facilitates. Having come from a rather conservative family and often labeled as the "good girl", I was intrigued. I asked more questions and eventually I decided to go ahead and have this experience. To this day, I am so glad I did, the sessions opened up new possibilities for me in how I express myself in ALL areas of my life. Throughout the sessions, Eduardo held space for me in such a wonderful way. On the last day we worked together, I shut down emotionally (contracted), and though hesitant to show up, I did anyway. He was able to not take it on and coaxed me back out, just by talking to me in a way that made me feel safe and secure enough to let go and be my more open, receptive and healthy self. That session ended up being really awesome. I'll always be impressed by his ability that day to encourage me to not walk away. He facilitated the journey I was taking of blossoming and becoming the woman I am today and am still becoming. Because of this work- I treat myself better, and am more empowered. I am more capable in my workplace, and I found a partnership with a man that I thought I'd experience only in my wildest dreams. Thanks Eduardo for the service you offer and for making it accessible for those who are ready! read more

I was nervous about trying out somatic sexual repatterning, but Eduardo put me at ease within moments of meeting him. He is professional and confident in his work, and he gets results. Eduardo helped me clear out some old shame and antiquated social pressures that were holding me back in my life and relationships. Before I worked with Eduardo, I thought I was "supposed to" have children of my own to affirm my womanhood. After we completed our work, I came to the realization that I don't want to give birth to children, and this awareness has opened up my life in so many way. I feel like my authentic desires finally became clear to me. I am now happily in a committed relationship with a man that has a child from a previous marriage. I'm happier than ever and feeling much more comfortable in my own skin and on my life path. I highly recommend Eduardo's therapy for anyone feeling stuck in your life. He can help you access creative energy to help you get unstuck. read more
