Through this exploration, individuals can uncover their hidden aspects, heal from past traumas, and find a renewed sense of balance and well-being. Embracing curiosity in this process allows for a gentle unfolding of the self, fostering an authentic connection with the body and mind. Whether facing emotional challenges or seeking personal growth, embodied counselling offers a pathway to healing that is both profound and deeply human. It's about being present, curious, and embracing the totality of who we are.

Vacuum Therapy & the Vacurect™ System
A Personal Recommendation by Jonn Close
Somatic Sex Therapist | Counsellor | Men's Health Advocate | Prostate Cancer Survivor
As a Somatic Sex Therapist and survivor of prostate cancer, I’ve explored a wide range of vacuum erection devices. Most provide limited benefits beyond enhancing sensation, and many are built around outdated ideas of enlargement rather than focusing on what men truly need—rehabilitation, support, and confidence during recovery.
However, my journey through a radical prostatectomy led me to discover the Vacurect™ Erection Enhancement System, and the results have been truly outstanding.
In my experience, the Vacurect does more than help achieve erections—it plays a vital role in restoring neural pathways, rebuilding confidence, and re-establishing pleasure after surgery. When used in conjunction with somatic body-based practices, it becomes a powerful and holistic tool for rehabilitating sexual function, intimacy, and embodied wellbeing.
This recommendation is supported by my medical team, including Dr Gordon O’Neil (Urologist), as well as the Physiotherapist and Cancer Nurse at the St Vincent’s NELUNE Men’s Health Centre, part of the Kinghorn Cancer Centre, Sydney.
