You’ve built a beautiful life together.
You love your children.
You’ve grown so much as a family.

But somewhere along the way…
The two of you drifted apart.

Sex became rare.
Touch became functional, not loving.
And though the love is still there—intimacy feels like a distant memory.

At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center in Sarasota, we work with parents who deeply want to reconnect—not as co-parents, but as lovers again.
Because parenting wires your nervous system for survival—not for sensuality and closeness.

Why Intimacy Fades After Kids

Many parents say:
“We’re great as a team. But the passion is gone.”
“I miss feeling desired—but I can’t seem to access it.”
“We’re always so tired, so touched out.”
“Every time we try, one or both of us shuts down.”

This isn’t about not loving each other.
It’s not about trying harder.

It’s about the fact that your bodies adapted to the demands of parenthood—and those adaptations block intimacy unless they’re consciously repaired.

At Nuna, we specialize in Somatic Healing and Emotional Healing for parents ready to reclaim closeness—not through performance, but through nervous system restoration.

Our sessions include:

Somatic Massage & Bodywork to help both partners release parenting-related tension and exhaustion
Somatic De-Armoring to gently dissolve protective patterns that block openness and sensuality
Somatic Coaching for Relationships and Intimacy to help parents rebuild touch, trust, and playful connection
Holistic Somatic Healing sessions to restore the felt sense of desire and relational closeness

This is not about having more sex.
It’s about helping your bodies want to connect again.

A Family’s Story: Returning to Each Other

A couple with two young children came to us saying:
“We love each other—and our kids—but we feel more like co-parents than partners now.”

They had tried date nights, therapy, even scheduling intimacy.
Nothing stuck—because their bodies were still carrying years of stress, fatigue, and emotional shutdown.

Through somatic sessions, they began to soften—not forcing closeness, but inviting it.

Over time, playfulness returned.
Touch became safe again.
And intimacy felt natural—not another item on the to-do list.

She said:

“I didn’t realize how much I’d hardened my body just to survive. Now I can feel again.”

He said:

“We didn’t need better scheduling—we needed nervous system repair.”

Why the Body Leads in Restoring Post-Parenthood Intimacy

Parenting often locks both partners into sympathetic nervous system dominance (fight/flight/freeze)
The vagus nerve, essential for arousal and connection, can’t engage under stress and exhaustion
Somatic healing helps both partners shift into the safety and presence where intimacy naturally returns

You can’t force desire.
But you can create the conditions where it comes alive again.
