The ZISS was founded in 2004 by Dr. med. Peter Gehrig and his team as the first institute in the German-speaking world fully dedicated to Sexocorporel. From the very beginning, we pursued clear goals alongside supporting people with sexual difficulties of all kinds: to research sexuality on a scientific basis, to further develop the Sexocorporel approach, and to offer professionals a training program that is both academically rigorous and personally supportive.

For more than 20 years, we have trained professionals who want to practice sexual therapy competently, body-oriented, and grounded in scientific knowledge. By 2025, we had conducted more than 30 complete training programs in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria — a wealth of experience that continues to shape our teaching.
What matters most to us:
Our specialized seminars deepen medical, psychological, and sociocultural aspects of sexuality and complement the training in a focused and meaningful way.
In addition to our training programs, since 2004 we have offered the seminar series Vivre en Amour (Sex and Love). It is intended for anyone who wishes to better understand, expand, or engage more consciously with their sexuality — in a way that is accessible, practical, and respectful.
We are also involved in workshops, conferences, online courses, and professional publications in order to make sexuality more visible and understandable as an important part of human health.
People experiencing sexual difficulties will find a competent point of contact with us. We offer sexual therapy based on the Sexocorporel model — body-oriented, evidence-based, and grounded in many years of experience as clinical sexologists. Our work is designed to support personal development and strengthen self-efficacy.
We are a team of clinical sexologists certified by the iSi who have worked closely together for many years. Many of us were trained directly by Jean-Yves Desjardins and the first generation of instructors. We bring together medical, psychotherapeutic, and body-oriented backgrounds, including trauma therapy and Feldenkrais, and we continue to develop the Sexocorporel model based on research, clinical experience, and societal change.
