Behind the magic

Hi! I'm Montana Kimel, a queer Toronto-born holistic sex educator, sound practitioner, somatic sex educator in training, and artist.




Like many of us, I grew up inside cultural and interpersonal systems that tried to discipline bodies in the name of the status quo. I felt firsthand how desire was treated as dangerous or excessive, and suppressing my own desires started to take a toll on my life.

So, I flipped a switch and started following my desires instead of pushing them away. This path led me to somatic practices, sound, and holistic sex education. Along the way, I reconnected with my own embodied knowing.
Now, my work supports people in coming back into a relationship with their bodies.  In doing so, I honour the queer and trans ancestors who paved the way for the full, complex lives we now get to lead. My approach is trauma-aware, consent-based, and rooted in the belief that our bodies already hold the knowledge we’re searching for. I work with a wide range of bodies, and I prioritize softness and psychological safety in all of my sessions.

If this work speaks to you, I’d love to meet.
