What is Tantra?
Tantra is a diverse spiritual tradition that originated in India, encompassing esoteric practices aimed at achieving spiritual liberation, self-realisation, and the integration of the sacred in everyday life. Rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism, classical Tantra involves intricate rituals, mantra chanting, meditation, and energy work, often requiring years of disciplined practice under a guru. In contrast, Western Neo-Tantra, which emerged in the 20th century, focuses primarily on sensuality, intimacy, and personal empowerment, often simplifying the deeper philosophical and ritualistic aspects of traditional Tantra. While classical Tantra seeks enlightenment through transcendence and devotion, Neo-Tantra is more accessible, emphasising emotional connection, conscious sexuality, and holistic well-being.
My Approach
I believe that true wellbeing encompasses not only the physical body but also the intricate realms of the mind and soul. My personalised and carefully crafted sessions blend the wisdom of Classical and Neo Tantric philosophies and practices and the power of Somatic Movement Therapy to guide you towards a balanced, pleasurable and harmonious life.
This work is offered as a course; comprised of a series of sessions which begin with a grounding meditation. From there, we delve into practices that activate the chakras, the energy centres within the body, using intention, movement, breathwork, and sound. Through gentle yoga asanas and shaking, we release tension and open ourselves to the flow of life force energy, known as prana or qi.
As the sessions progress, we’ll dive deeper into the exploration of sensation, cultivating a heightened awareness of our physical bodies. Through partner exercises and conscious (consensual) touch, we learn to surrender to the present moment, transcending limitations and embracing the fullness of our being.
Throughout the journey, we honour the principles of Tantra, which celebrate the union of opposites and the integration of shadow and light. Participants are encouraged to visualise and embrace their sexual fantasies, desires and vulnerabilities, recognising them as pathways to self-discovery and liberation.
Whether you are new to Tantra or a seasoned practitioner, this course offers a space for deepening your connection to yourself and others, cultivating presence, and awakening the inherent wisdom of your body. Join me on this sacred journey of self-discovery and empowerment, as we embrace the beauty and wholeness of our true essence.

Conscious Embodied Intimacy
Why Tantra?
Tantra, derived from ancient Sanskrit scriptures, is a multifaceted and often misunderstood spiritual tradition that originated in the Indian subcontinent thousands of years ago. Often associated with sacred sexuality, Tantra encompasses a broader philosophy and practice focused on awakening consciousness and achieving spiritual enlightenment.
Tantra emerged as a revolutionary path within Hinduism and later influenced other religious and spiritual traditions. Unlike traditional approaches that advocated renunciation and asceticism, Tantra celebrated the material world as a gateway to spiritual realisation. It embraces the belief that divinity resides within every aspect of life, encouraging individuals to engage fully with the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms to achieve union with the ultimate reality.
While Tantra is commonly associated with sexuality, it goes far beyond mere physical pleasure. It recognises sexual energy as a potent force for spiritual growth and a means to experience transcendent states of consciousness. Tantra emphasises the harmonisation of masculine and feminine energies within oneself and the cultivation of deep connection and intimacy with a partner. Through conscious and mindful practices, such as meditation, breathwork, and specific rituals, Tantra seeks to harness and direct this powerful energy towards spiritual awakening.
Tantric rituals and practices encompass a wide range of techniques, all aimed at expanding awareness and connecting with the divine. These may include meditation, mantra chanting, yantra visualisation, breathwork, and yoga asanas (postures). Tantric practitioners often engage in puja (devotional ceremonies) and utilise various symbolic tools like crystals, incense, and oils to create a sacred space conducive to spiritual exploration. The rituals encourage a deepening of one's presence, mindfulness, and the embodiment of divine qualities.
Through Tantra, one can discover profound states of bliss, oneness, and a deep sense of inner peace.
At the heart of Tantra lies the pursuit of expanded consciousness and self-realisation.
By embracing all aspects of human experience, both light and dark, Tantra seeks to transcend limitations and dissolve the illusion of separation. It aims to awaken individuals to their inherent divinity and the interconnectedness of all beings.
While Tantra is deeply rooted in ancient traditions, its principles and practices are relevant and applicable in the modern world. In our fast-paced and disconnected society, Tantra offers a path of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual transformation. It invites individuals to cultivate awareness, authenticity, and conscious relationships. By embracing Tantra's teachings, we can learn to navigate life's challenges with grace, enhance our capacity for love and compassion, and live with greater joy and fulfilment.
Tantra is a profound spiritual path that extends far beyond its popularised association with sexuality. It offers a holistic approach to spiritual growth, emphasising the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. By embracing Tantra's teachings and practices, we embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, conscious living, and deep connection with the divine. As we integrate Tantra into our lives, we invite a profound shift in our awareness, fostering a greater sense of purpose, fulfillment, and love for ourselves and the world around us.
