"Most people long for deeper love, intimacy
and trust, yet many of us were never taught the skills to create these experiences.
Love may be natural, but the skills that help relationships thrive are learned."
Martina Hughes & Rod Gordon
Helping women, men and couples cultivate deeper love,
intimacy and trust in themselves, their relationships and their lives.
Through coaching, community, workshops and retreats that support meaningful connection.
Love can be beautiful. And it can be challenging.
Relationships offer the opportunity to experience profound love and closeness.
They also have the capacity to reveal our fears, insecurities, hurts and deepest challenges.
Many people come to us because they are experiencing:
- Emotional distance
- Unresolved conflict
- Challenges with desire and intimacy
- Difficulties in communication
- Uncertainty about how to move forward
- A sense of having lost themselves along the way
Other people come to us because, whilst life looks good on the outside, something within them senses that more is possible.
More love.
More intimacy.
More connection.
More aliveness.
They long for:
- Love that deeply nourishes
- Intimacy that is fulfilling and expansive for both partners
- Connection that deepens and grows with each year
- A sense of feeling truly alive and connected
Together, we explore practical tools, embodied practices and new ways of relating to help you create the relationships you most deeply long for. With yourself, your intimate partner, your family, friends and wider community.

Meet Rod and Martina
In our own relationship, we have experienced moments of profound love, connection and joy, as well as periods of challenge, uncertainty and growth.
Over the years, we have discovered that meaningful relationships are not built by avoiding difficulties, but by learning how to meet them with honesty, openness and care.
Through our own journey, and more than two decades of supporting women, men and couples, we have learnt that intimacy can be one of life's greatest teachers. Relationships have the capacity to deepen our understanding of ourselves, strengthen our connection with others, and invite us to live with greater love, presence and authenticity.
It is this understanding that sits at the heart of Intimacy Oasis.
What others have experienced...
Reflections from women, men and couples who have participated in our programs, retreats and mentoring.
Jack, MELBOURNE.
Through working with Rod I have expanded my awareness, developed a deeper trust and love of self and transformed the fear I held of other men into feelings of understanding, love and trust.
Working with Rod has had a profound impact on my personal, working, familial and intimate relationships. As well as in my career and now in how I lead other men on this path.
I strongly encourage anyone who is considering working with Rod not to hesitate, you will be in good hands.
Shelley, SUNSHINE COAST.
My Intimacy Coaching sessions with Martina are the best investment I have ever made.
Martina has supported me to open my heart and truth be told, our sessions are the only time I really feel seen and heard.
Martina’s capacity to truly listen and hold space for me is a real gift. I have benefited greatly from the many beautiful and sacred practices Martina has shared with me and I have had so many revelations and aha moments.
Robin, SYDNEY.
Men's Circle in Intimacy Oasis:
The other men are very conscious, trustable, and committed to their own growth and to their contribution to the community.
Jean, MELBOURNE.
This simple, yet powerful presence and massive container cracked me open and allowed SO much more of me to be seen, heard and felt.
Erica, USA.
I gained so much sexual confidence within the first session or two with Martina.
It was like she had unlocked a door within my being that I didn't even know existed.
Gourav, MELBOURNE.
It’s been amazing to work with Martina and Rod as a participant in the Men’s courses and community events these last few years.
The Men’s courses grew me in ways I didn’t expect – it helped refine my understanding of my role in the world, and improved my relationship with myself and those I care for.
The way I think, feel and interact with the world has changed immeasurably – I am now a better Leader, Partner and Person.
Martina and Rod are a generous, courageous and authentic team, and I highly recommend their work to all those Men who want to do better.
Fergus, ITALY.
Every feeling I experienced seemed intensified. Nothing was beige. There was challenge, support, love and connection. The connection and love that I feel for the other participants has been ongoing and continues to evolve and deepen.
Marina, MELBOURNE.
I felt so held and guided by Martina's words and wisdom, that I had some profound releases, clearing and energy shifts that continue to benefit me. I feel more alive, I am breathing deeper and have more energy flowing though me as a result.
Jeremy, MELBOURNE.
Rod and Martina's work offered me a safe and warm place to look within myself and challenge my view of my relationship with Lotta. This training opens your eyes to what is possible to create in a relationship if two people share a common love.
Larn, SYDNEY.
Greg and I are now more connected on a deeper level and we feel more alive, it is so beautiful and we are grateful to have had this experience together.
Helen, MELBOURNE.
The training has deepened my intimate relationship with my partner, children and community. My journey allowed me to feel the aliveness of humanity, and to give myself permission to feel more fully.
