What Make Me…Me?

I am living proof that life gets richer when you lean into your authenticity. After leaving a life that didn’t feel aligned, I chose to honour my desires, allow my whole feeling self to be expressed, explore my sensuality, and redefine intimacy on my own terms.

This journey wasn’t easy, of course. For years, I felt disconnected from the deeper truths of who I was. I lived a life that looked fine on the surface but lacked the richness and depth I craved. It was only when I allowed myself to dive into the unknown – to embrace vulnerability and reconnect with my sensuality and who I felt I really was – that I began to feel truly alive.

For many years, I worked with disadvantaged people, including special needs children and adults, the long-term unemployed, and individuals facing mental health challenges. I found joy and purpose in helping others, yet I longed for a way to inspire even deeper transformation. This desire led me to become a professional Yoga Teacher in 2009 - the beginning of my own transformation. I loved inspiring and helping people to connect to their body and soul in a healthy way, teaching classes and workshops to hundreds of people over the years.

But that still didn’t go deep enough for me, so I continued my trainings, picking up invaluable, sometimes painful but always helpful life lessons along the way.

Now, as a certified love, sex and relationship coach, yoga instructor, and facilitator of sacred feminine touch, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others rediscover the power of vulnerability and connection. Through intuitive, heartfelt work, I guide women and men to feel safe in their bodies, open their hearts, and cultivate relationships that heal and transform.

Clients tell me that I bring a unique balance of softness and strength to my work. I’m deeply attuned to the needs of each individual, whether they are seeking clarity in their relationships, yearning for deeper intimacy, or looking to reconnect with the sacredness of their body. My mission is to create spaces where transformation happens, where people feel seen, loved, and empowered to embrace their fullest selves.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me immersed in the beauty of nature, revelling in the company of dear friends, exploring practices that deepen my connection to life’s sensual forces, and savouring the joy of simply being alive.

This is your invitation to join me on a journey toward profound connection and inner growth. Together, we’ll transform your relationship with yourself and others, opening the door to a life filled with love, joy, and no need to hide who you are.
