Like many women, I grew up internalizing societal messages that my worth was measured by what I could offer to men. I mastered the role of ‘girlfriend’ and later ‘wife’ and checked off the boxes that society had handed me—marriage, motherhood, and with it, the appearance of a fulfilling life.
Yet, deep inside, I felt an emptiness I couldn’t explain.
Though I convinced myself that I enjoyed sex, I experienced a post-orgasmic flatness that I had become so used to, I didn’t think anything was wrong.
I began exploring meditation, yoga, and breathwork in search of a spiritual connection, that gave me a sense of expansion and love. While this exploration was beautiful and rewarding, it wasn’t translating into my everyday life. I remained stuck in unhealthy patterns, my wounds and limiting beliefs disguised by a sense of calm that was more numbness than peace.

It was through therapy that I had my first a-ha moment. Instead of seeking to transcend my body to connect with the divine, I learned to find safety within my body and experience divinity right there. This pivotal shift allowed me to reconnect with and heal the parts of myself that had long been buried, particularly those burdened by shame surrounding my sexuality.
As I began to release this deeply held shame, I unlocked a powerful sexual energy that not only transformed my intimate experiences but also infused every aspect of my life with vitality, creativity, and purpose. I came to understand that sexual energy is in fact, life force energy.
This revelation allowed me to reflect on the messages I had received about my sexuality as a woman—how I had suppressed my expression, needs, and desires due to societal constructs and expectations. If sexual energy is life force energy, its suppression explains the flatness I had felt for so long. I began to understand that sexual energy, when embraced, is a powerful and sacred force that deserves to be integrated into every aspect of our being, including spiritual practices.
From this experience, I embarked on my journey into Tantra, seeking a path that honored all of the human experience as sacred, including our sexuality. Through my studies with the Institute of Authentic Tantra, I learned to embrace and celebrate this powerful energy without shame, unlocking levels of pleasure I never thought possible. I developed an ever-evolving, exploratory relationship with my sexuality.
Meanwhile, my marriage was undergoing its own transformation. Through therapy my husband and I reconnected in ways that we had never thought possible, holding space for each other’s healing and growth. Despite the breakthroughs, we weren’t having sex. I searched for role models—couples who had faced trauma together and emerged into healthy, fulfilling relationships—but found none.
I had to let go of the marriage as I knew it, surrendering my attachment to the outcome. This was one of the most painful and frightening times of my life.
The Tantric practices I was embodying deeply connected me to my intuition, helping me hold an unwavering vision of what’s possible in love and sexuality. Through these shared practices, my husband and I found a way to reconnect on a profound energetic level. By stripping away old expectations we learned to communicate our needs and desires with authenticity and openness. Today, we are deeply committed to one another—spiritually, emotionally, and sexually.
Your body, your wisdom.
It is from this place of transformation that I feel called to share these Authentic Tantra® practices with others. I offer a safe, shame-free space where you can begin your own journey into sacred sexuality, healing, and self-discovery.
Through my work with women and couples, I have witnessed the profound truth that each of us possesses a unique internal guidance system, deeply connected to universal wisdom. The body holds its own intelligence and an innate ability to heal. When we unwind the negative messages we've internalized around our sexuality, we can tap into a greater capacity for pleasure.
