healing through the body
You lived your experiences in this body, thus, we need to integrate them via the body for the sense of healing to happen. You might have arrived at this page out of pure curiosity, or you're here because you've already tried many methods and things to integrate your past.
You might even be, what I like to call, a 'master analyst' of your own story - meaning, you know your timeline, and can explain in theory what happened to you and share what kind of effects those challenging experiences have had on you. You might even say, you've 'turned out well.' But somehow you're still struggling with self-love, self-worth, fulfillment, and your relationships - including the one you have with yourself.
Healing isn't about erasing the past, it's about decreasing its negative effects on us, learning how to live in the present moment, recognizing strong emotions and how to sit with them, and with tools to experience joy and aliveness
sappho tantra
Sappho Tantra - neotantra for queer women devoted to self-love and conscious relating
A special invitation to join on 23 July for a one-day retreat "Awakening the Senses" in the birthplace of Sappho, in Eressos, Lesbos, Greece
A space to:
honor who you are
cultivate intimacy
play, feel, and be present
come alive in your body
Journeying through:
breath, body & stillness
touch, movement & connection
presence, perception & expresion
Sappho Tantra emerged from the need for a nourishing space in which WLW (women loving women, bisexual, lesbian, and pansexual) can explore intimacy, (self)love, playfulness and meditation.
What to expect?
a space to be vulnerable, seen and heard, exactly as you are in this very moment
a chance to slow down and experience your body in a more balanced way
experience renewed aliveness through creativity, presence, nature, and touch
This retreat is for those who have already done some inner work and want to dive deeper into the relationship with themselves in the container of a safe(r) queer space.

"Many people are hiding in a self-created cave of denial, living behind an acceptable mask that allows them to fit in and survive in the world. They are afraid to be truly seen, to energetically shine - to be truly intimate with others."

healing the inner teenager
You might have heard of inner child healing, you may even have done the inner work of ages 6 to 12 years old. But what about your teenager? Those tender ages of 13 to 19 years old.
Healing the inner teenager is a journey back to the fire within.
Adolescence is a time of passion, tenderness, defiance, revenge, and about often feeling misunderstood. It's when we began to ask: Who am I, really? Who am I without my parents? And perhaps also: Am I allowed to be who I want to be?
This 10-session process invites you to return to that inner space with care, curiosity, and reverence. We work with Gestalt-based inner dialogue, role play, Jungian active imagination, and shadow integration to connect with the parts of you that were dimmed or silenced, and integrate them into your daily adult life today.
The inner teenager may show up as anger, withdrawal, hyper-independence, risk-taking, or loneliness. In this process, we excavate your truths; holding keys to your vitality, creativity, and authentic desires.
By working with the inner teenager, you reclaim your passion and aliveness.
Through this work, many experience:
Greater emotional regulation
A renewed sense of courage and creative freedom
Healing around sexuality, rejection, and belonging
Clarity in relationships with authority, family, or self
This is not about reliving trauma. It’s about restoring connection. To the pulse that once led you toward freedom., which you get to reclaim.
The ten sessions can be done all in ten days, as an intensive process, or can also be spread over time, as a process more integrated in your daily life, which could mean weekly/bi-weekly or even monthly sessions. Additional sessions are available if some issues need to be looked at more closely.
somatic sessions
In 1, 3, 5 or 10 session packages, working through individual issues. Working with EFT and NLP to take you from a problem state to a desired state. Used for transforming fears, phobias, traumas, anxiety and depression. We will work on topics and issues you choose.
