"I adopted Yoga as my physical and devotional discipline in my twenties,which became my foundational practice"

 

In my late thirties, I sought out Conscious Movement modalities, both for the freedom and for the open-minded and permissive community  it offered. This sparked a curiosity about Tantra, and I pretty much leapt down that rabbit hole! 

 

I was a hungry student of Tantra and Neo-Tantra/Sacred Sexuality. I went straight to the places where I intuited I would learn the most, the fastest… in hindsight, also the more risky!

 

I soon became a practitioner, offering bodywork, movement and talking sessions that were transformational, confronting, profoundly healing, and deeply connecting. (Though some were awkward and compromising too, initially.)

 

This practice instilled in me a deep respect for the human body/mind/spirit as an inseparable whole, trained me about how energy works, about our social, relational constructs and traumas and limitations. It taught me about the power of vulnerability, desire and pleasure. 

 

Being a student and a teacher in this field also taught me how NOT to approach and facilitate this work! 

 

I observed how easily arrogance and unscrupulousness, even downright abuse and manipulation tends to surface in power dynamics - particularly in the areas where sexuality and spirituality intersect. And especially how vulnerable people, mostly women, risk compromise. 

 

This is one of the reasons that I walked away from the world of Tantra, as I perceived it, in 2022

 

I am also an advocate for Sacred Childbirth. You can find some of my writing on my Patreon, or my social media pages, and I am available as a Birth Mentor.
