Sex Education and Somatic Coaching
Welcome to Romance and Reality!

Where we believe it is a human right for all people to have access to ethical, inclusive, holistic, sex-positive education. Your questions and curiosities are welcome here!
Our sexual health is a vital component of overall wellness, yet it is left out of mainstream education and healthcare. Due to this, it is common for us to struggle in reaching our full sexual potential. You are not alone!
Struggles often result from a wide variety of normal experiences. Too often, people are left to face these challenges without a trustworthy guide to a more satisfying future. (Tip: Google & porn are terrible substitute teachers!)
I’m Bailey Barmettler, B.A., certified sex educator & somatic coach. I believe everyone deserves the romance they desire, as well as, the skills for when reality gets in the way! I started this business to let you know that sex doesn’t have to be a struggle!
If you suspect your sexual experience could improve, schedule a free consultation or check out our monthly events!

“I highly recommend working with Bailey! She did such an amazing job making me feel comfortable and heard. Her insights about intimacy and communication with my partner 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 & Joe

“Extremely informative pleasure mapping session. My partner and I really got to know each other better. It could be broken up into two or three sessions and still have good results. I would definitely do this again and am already suggesting to my friends that they try it out.” ~ Ben
