Romance and Reality utilizes holistic somatic sex education and somatic bodywork to work with you to achieve the communication and intimacy you desire in your relationship(s).

I work collaboratively with established providers to connect the gaps often found between traditional mental health therapy and pelvic floor physical therapy practices.

In service to the community, we provide ethical, inclusive, and confidential care with accessible options to fit every income.

I am Bailey Barmettler, CSE, CSSE, and I started Romance and Reality to tell you that intimacy, relationships, and sex don’t have to be a struggle!

  • “I highly recommend working with Bailey! She did such an amazing job making me feel comfortable and heard. Her insights about intimacy and communication were so helpful. She really wants to empower you to create the intimacy you dream of! This is a realm that often gets sidelined in relationships, but it’s so essential to address.”

    ~ Lisa and Joe ~

  • "The experience of somatic pleasure mapping was very positive, and I will recommend it to others! I was amazed by everything that I learned about myself. It is definitely something I would repeat, as I feel like I have acquired access to deeper parts of myself than I was aware of. I can also see the therapeutic benefits for women of all kinds. It has helped my partner and I to deepen our intimacy and maximize our pleasure."

    ~ Nat ~

  • "Bailey was caring and kind-hearted. She was easy for my husband to open up to, which I was the most worried about. Her information made sense and helped us to understand how it applied in the bedroom. We have some things to still work out, but as we practice our sexual communication skills our time in bed together has become more inviting."

    ~ Michelle ~

  • "Extremely informative pleasure mapping session. My partner and I really got to know each other better. I would definitely do this again and am already suggesting to my friends that they try it out."
