SERVICES & EVENTS
What is tantra?
Tantra is a life-embracing philosophy that teaches us how to find depth and fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. Tantra’s pragmatic tools and techniques give us insight into how we can use our body, mind, emotions and environment as opportunities to evolve. Contrary to the popular belief in the western world, Tantra does not advocate uninhibited sex. The word Tantra means expansion and liberation; expanding the mind to achieve the ultimate freedom – the freedom to simply be your authentic self.

Conscious touch is intentional touch for the body and soul. Unlike conventional massages, your Tantric journey is accompanied by an experienced practitioner, who is fully present, with heart and depth to guide you through various practices, such as deep breathing, eye-gazing and chakra opening. Slow, mindful massaging of the whole body, including erogenous zones, will expand your energy toward a state of openness and relaxation, where connection with your body, rather than orgasm, is the goal.
Our Tantra massage is an offering of love and acceptance. Sessions begin with a brief conversation allowing the practitioner to feel your current energetic state. An attunement follows involving deep breathing to help create calmness, harmony and connection.
Touch begins at the base of your spine to awaken your vital Kundalini energy. At various intervals you will be reminded to breathe deeply. You will be asked to visualize colors relating to each chakra, as the practitioner incorporates her energy into opening and balancing each one. Light strokes will be applied throughout your whole body including chest, buttocks and inner thighs. For women this can include an outer yoni massage, or a lingam massage for men.
As your body relaxes, it is possible you become aroused. This is perfectly normal and natural. Though ejaculation is not encouraged, it need not be avoided either. We will help you direct your energy inwards, towards feeling the sensations you are experiencing (rather than reacting to them), making you fully aware of your body. By the end of the session you will be completely relaxed, revitalized and attuned to your body, mind and spirit like never before.
*During the session you are fully nude, while the practitioner is comfortably dressed. Touch is one-way only. For comfort and hygiene, please wash your body thoroughly and do not a heavy meal before the session.
INTIMACY COACHING
Let us help you find fulfillment! If talking about intimacy, love and how to have a healthy sex life isn’t working, give our coaching sessions a try! Whether it is to create a deeper intimate connection, take a long-term relationship to new heights, or to find clarity about a troubled history of relationships, we will listen without judgment, give you strategies that work for you, and help you stay on track to achieve your goals.
If you’re ready to take action, you’ve got a coach in your corner to support and guide you towards your life and relationship goals.

Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced yogi, you will benefit from an expansion of consciousness with our Tantra yoga sessions. Sessions include pranayama (deep breathing) meditation, mantras, mudras (hand positions), asanas (body postures) and sound healing. Your instructor will choose certain asanas based on assessment of your needs. When necessary Thai Yoga Massage techniques will be applied, assisting you into the posture.
Overall, the main focus is on breath and meditation as this expands your energy and helps to achieve awareness and deep relaxation. As you settle into each posture you may experience an emotional release. This is a sign of energy flowing, unblocking your chakras and bringing your mind and body into balance. We encourage you to let go and let it flow.
(Tantra yoga is not about sex or sexual positions.)
AYURVEDIC MASSAGE
Ayurveda is an alternative Indian medicine system which believes in mind/body connection. Oil massage (ahbyanga) is a form of Ayurvedic therapy that uses warm herb-infused oil on the entire body to release tension, reduce inflammation and restore balance of the doshas. Three dosha patterns are responsible for your physiological, mental and emotional health. Everybody has a unique combination of each one. Your practitioner will help you determine your dosha type and customize a mix of oil and herbs for your specific dosha. Light touch and fluid circular motions will be applied throughout the body for maximum benefit.
S O U N D B A T H
A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full body listening experience that uses ambient sound to invite gentle, yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture the mind and body. Our sound healing sessions incorporate the use of crystal bowls tuned to the frequencies of the seven chakras; notes at different vibrations help direct your focus away from your busy mind and toward a relaxing, meditative state. Like a ripple effect, vibrations traveling around and through you have the ability to unlock blockages, and clear out dormant energies. Your sound therapist will guide you through breathing, listening and visualization exercises as your body is “bathed” in soothing sound.
C O N S C I O U S C U D D L I N G
Let your worries melt away in the warm embrace of your snuggle guide. Our conscious cuddling sessions will soothe your spirit and quiet your mind. Cuddling is a form of touch therapy (not an invitation to sex) that releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone, which helps you feel happier and less stressed. Sessions begin with a brief attunement that include deep breathing, hand holding and eye gazing to create calmness and build connection. During the cuddling we can spoon, hug, cradle or embrace each other in any fully clothed position that brings comfort and relaxation. We can listen to music, talk or snuggle in silence. We can exchange platonic touch like stroking hair, or neck nuzzling. You will be loved, accepted and valued as you are. Please respect boundaries.
