My life's work has been varied, to say the least, but working with energy has always been my calling. In my most creative periods, I have worked as a model, designer, illustrator, singer, song writer, dancer and teacher- sharing the gift of creative expression has long been my passion. But, for years my path has always led me back to working with creative/sexual energy. I am a certified life coach, a certified yoga instructor, a certified massage technician and a certified tantric guide. My path is Shakta Tantra, Jai Maa, I teach from the perspective of the sacred feminine, where Shakti (literally power), is focal and found in all living things. On a personal level, the sacred feminine and energy-centered divine union have motivated me since my early 20s (I am 45).
Ever an active and a free spirit, my mother says she would dress me up and leave the room, only to return to a grinning nude dancing little rebel. Not being like others was normal for me, and i still managed to gain a little popularity despite myself, but I felt separate. An awakening occured in me (during union with a tantric lover) that fostered a huge evolution in my life. My views on human sexuality and spirit began to grow as my metaphysical studies, ayurvedic diet and spiritual practices began to develop. Still I felt unfulfilled. After years of consciously attempting to define my uniqueness and be recognized for it, I felt depleted and thoroughly un-unique. A good friend connected me to a teacher who taught me more about energy and creating reality. She taught me meditation and how to call on ascended masters. I slowly began the process of interconnection, oddly enough this time with all things. Slowly but surely, I began to understand ego...why I rebelled, why I needed to be special and how/why I had begun to heal from it. I settled down and went to school for massage, learned ashtanga yoga and started studying tantra-knowing I wanted to teach what I learned.
My life , like yours, is an evolving masterpiece- and it is my goal to share the wisdom bestowed upon me to other seekers. Tantra Yoga, as I offer it, is a fully integrative spiritual practice. Though my offerings include asana (postures) and work with intimacy, we do not focus solely on postures or intimate sensuality. We aim to discover a more whole yoga expression, based on the Ashtanga tradition. I fuse a myriad of healing modalities into uniquely crafted services that are focused on guiding individuals and couples as to how they may best infuse traditional Tantra Yoga practices (and compatible modalities) in to their lives. When I engage a client or couple, our goal is to tap in to and utilize divine inner power to achieve transformational success on many levels. Watching people grow, heal and learn to accept/share is an amazing opportunity. Even more so because we are connected- my client's progress is an important element in my own success story. But mostly, I love my work because it fills me with a feeling of pride when I see people at peace and accomplishing their goals. An immense sense of joy floods my heart when I know that I am assisting in the liberation of another soul! I live a sacred sensual life that colors my professional services. Consider me dakini, muse, priestess, confidante, energy healer and living Goddess. I welcome you home, to the bliss within and around you.
