Are you tired of:
-Lack of intimacy (with your partner)
-Body-shame, erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety
-Neediness that feels unfree
-Addiction issues
-Pursuing unavailable women/avoiding your own woman
-Being ‘stuck in your head,’ unable to switch off
-Difficulty in finding out/expressing what you want sexually
-Discomfort setting boundaries, or crossing boundaries too easily
-Not relaxing when receiving pleasure, finding it easier to give
-Believing that you won’t meet a good woman, or doubts about your current woman
-Neglecting the exploration of your sexuality, despite other personal growth
If you answered yes: this training is for you. What to expect?
1.Explore healthy and holy intimacy
Healthy sexuality is your life-force, a gift from God. It is a natural and most powerful flow of energy that can stagnate when hurtful events happen. When boundaries are being crossed – safety is lost.
2. Healing methods
Healing from sexual boundary violations. Looking at old wounds so the healing process starts. With usage of visualization techniques we will rewire the brain from helplessness into empowerment. We will navigate challenging emotions while embracing higher vibrational states. Our training merges approaches in psychosexual somatics, trauma theory, bodywork, sacred sexuality, constellation work.
3. Practises for embodiment
Being present in your body, feeling safe, and understanding the nervous system’s role in sex. Integrating spirituality with sexuality, awakening every cell of your body to spiritual and physical expansion. Breathing and sounding will relax the nervous-system. Communication- tools will support you on how to set boundaries and express longings and create safety.
4. Learning about the dangers or dark side of sexuality,
Sex can be a strategy to hide, control, manipulate, please, get rid of tention etc. Porn can be a deceptive and destructive tool, with many psychological and physical consequences. We will look at the trauma behind these behaviors to get into a healthy sexual experience. Knowledge about the hormones creating euphoria, dependency and why we thrive in steady, real love relationships.
5. Learing about a woman’s sexuality
How a woman experience sex can be polar opposite from a man’s experience. We will look into her physical, emotional and mental and spiritual experience.
6.Practise with women
We will work with ‘practice women’. (They are are attending a similar program). This will give you an opportunity to rewire into a healthy way of intimacy. Learn and practice the energetics of polarity in intimacy. Moving from functional and mechanical encounters to healing and expand in your energy to celebrate the highest form of love that is beyond romantic love.

My personal journey:
ADDICTED to ‘love’..
I remember when I was promiscuous (back in the day) I would either shut down my feelings when having intimate relations – for fear for falling in love. That vulnerability was too scary for me.
I was addicted to ‘feeling wanted’.
One night stands, hook-ups, sleeping with the person you are madly in love with -but just know for a short period of time.
😱Could it be ‘oxytocin dependency’? 😲
The release of the hormone can increase testosterone production in many individuals which can increase libido and attachment.
Oxytocin activates the reward center of the brain, creating a sense of euphoria. That cycle of reward can create an addiction to the neurochemical response to sex and romance.
Phenylethylamine (the love molecule) and dopamine (the reward hormone) are also released in love making.
Once you experience that rush of chemicals you want more.
When you reconnect with your partner after a time of absence, the brain often moves into the ‘courtship’ state of being flooded with phenylethylamine, oxytocin, and dopamine.
This leads to a strong desire to connect and feel bonding.
The release of hormones after being physically intimate may cause a feeling of attachment and closeness.
I’ve dedicated 15 years and 10,000 hours to teaching, research, and personal exploration to create this training. In my life I experienced numbness, fear of intimacy, afraid of vulnerability, unable to express myself, unable to set boundaries, rape where I thought it was my fault, body-shame, trauma after birth, and many more unfortunate events. I went through almost every therapy modality, spiritual practice, educational program. But in the end all the answers lie within the intelligence of the body itself. Healing is a life journey.
It is my honor to unlock this wisdom with you. Into freedom, love and the deepest connection.
“There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin.
Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact.
As written in Scripture, “The two become one.”
Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master,
we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy,
leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never “become one.
There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others.
In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies,
these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another.
Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit?
Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for?
The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you.
God owns the whole works.
So let people see God in and through your body.”
