Self-judgment, self-rejection and self-hatred aren’t safe. Trying to fix yourself is a practice of rejection of who you are. That is not safe. It is in practice of radical acceptance of all aspects of you that you restore safety to your nervous system. Cultivation of compassion and pleasure opens the brain and body to healing trauma, re-writing of belief systems, up leveling identity and stepping into power. Pleasure counteracts stress hormones and increases creativity, heals our bodies and helps us thrive.

I studied business, hold a Masters degree in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, certifications in co-active coaching, female sexuality and a number of other body-based therapies. I have been a clinician at a teaching hospital for 19 years practicing integrative medicine, teaching somatic techniques, and healing sexuality.

My parents having grown up during the war passed on their trauma to me. I grew up with fear, self rejection and no boundaries. 

When I began to travel the world as a model, it was like falling “from the rain into the gutter”. I experienced more violence, more abuse and more heartbreak.

My father’s illness guided me towards Chinese medicine where I started learning about connection between mind and body, but it was not until 10+ years later, a broken marriage and deep depression that I hit bottom and reached for what I knew, but never dared to explore for myself. Tantra, pleasure and sexual liberation. 

In the process of reclaiming and healing my body through pleasure, I woke up to the infinite source of life force, joy, creativity, energy, power and aliveness that lives in my womb. The core of being a Woman. And here we are. :)
