Irene Morning

Hi. I’m Irene (she/her). I’m a somatic coach with a Master of Science, bestselling author, and graduate student in clinical psychology. I also have a background in s*xual health counseling, and combine that with my work in somatics to help folks find their right fit intimacy, whether that means pleasure, relationships, or s*xual expression. Currently, I am in school to become a therapist, and ultimately want to pursue s*x therapy.

Through individual and partnered coaching, workshops, events, and The Polyamory Paradox, I support people in navigating their “right fit” relationships, both with themselves and with others. Much of my work has focused on non-monogamy in different forms, but I also work with folks who are looking to feel more empowered in their own sense of pleasure, and folks who want support in a monogamous dynamic.

🌱 Many of my clients use coaching to supplement work they’re doing in talk therapy, and to have a space where they feel free to dive deep in discussions of s*x and intimacy.

🪞 The majority of the people I work with identify as q***r in some way, but some of my most impactful, longstanding coaching relationships are with cis-het men.

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽I also run in-person non-monogamy speed friending events and facilitate a s*x-positive community, so if you’re in LA, come say hi!

🌀 I trust the innate wisdom of your body, and see my role as that of a collaborator in listening to and embodying that wisdom.

💭 I believe that medically accurate, pleasure-forward s*x education is vital to the well-being of individuals, families, and society.

🌊 I’m not here to sell you quick fixes. Yes, this work will give you “ah-ha moments,” and most of the deep change we want requires patience, integration, and ongoing support.

These days, I am trying to live life more offline (i.e. not on social media). You can find more about my work and book sessions at irenemorning.com or send me an email at [email protected].

Grow your community, friendships, and heart with Speed Friending! We’re back on Tuesday, June 17th at a cool new venue—Benny Boy Brewing .

I’ve been teaming up with to offer monthly Non-Monogamous Speed Friending in Los Angeles and it has been a treat to see the way people are showing up. We use prompts from The NonMonogamy Card Game and Get Squirmy to connect in small groups, so there’s always plenty to talk about.

Each emotion we experience has a physiological impulse—it’s not just in your head, it’s in your body, too. Emotions are like little messengers, showing up with physical signals that shape our entire experience. When we ignore those signals (or try too hard to control them), things get...messy.

Most of us have been taught to contain those big emotions, like we’re cramming a suitcase before a trip—jam it in, sit on it, zip it up, and hope it doesn’t explode at baggage claim. How do I put this delicately? That bag will explode.

A huge part of the work of emotional regulation is learning to recognize those signals and move the emotion through your body.

Welcome to the club, friend. That’s your body waving a big, neon sign that says, “Hey, you need to feel this!”

If we want to feel in control of our emotions, we actually need to create some intentional space where they are allowed to take control of us.

Solution? Throw the f*cking tantrum.

I’m serious. Take a cue from toddlers. When they feel something big, they let it rip—stomping, yelling, flopping onto the floor. And once the storm passes, they’re good to go. Calm, refreshed, and not holding onto any of that emotional mess. Tantrums are their emotional release valve, and frankly, we adults need to bring it back.

Letting yourself have a healthy tantrum is one of the best ways to move all that pent-up energy and get back to baseline. Give yourself a time out to stomp, shake, scream into a pillow, throw a (soft) object, whatever you need to do to let your body finish what it started. Because when you keep that energy bottled up, it’ll find ways to come out later.

In my 8-week group coaching program, Embodied Non-Monogamy, I’m teaching somatic tools that help you stop bottling up emotions and start moving them through.
