Managing one's own reactivity is especially crucial when the conversation takes place between people who share a close, caring relationship, whether in intimate partnership or within a facilitated peer group. In the container of such a relationship, there is potential for great healing, when listening is skillfully practiced with loving-kindness. When there is a breach in the intention and the attention, the opposite can occur, and there is potential for eliciting further suffering. Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference. The process of releasing what has long been held tightly can hurt even as it heals. It requires a conscious choice and a disciplined practice on the part of the listener and the sharer to make the most of the opportunities a relationship generates. We are often drawn to a partner whose complementary issues offer us the most challenging, but most potentially rewarding, mirror for our own growth. Relationship built on a foundation of trust and deep listening is not for the faint of heart. But the rewards are worth the work.
When I am listening to my partner with skill, I can see more clearly which elements of a conflict belong to him and which belong to me. If I feel a strong emotional reaction to what he says, it is almost certain that something tender and vulnerable in me has been touched, and it is useful to note that for when it is my turn to be the speaker. When I am in a conversation without consciousness and care, my subjective reactions can spill out with little control, and the listening temporarily comes to an end. When I can tune my attention with awareness to his core dynamic, there is a better chance that the container will be strong enough for deeper healing work to begin. I can see my own needs and wants as well as his.

mini updates - Newsletter September 2008
I'm working 3 or 4 days a week and have to take advantage of that small window where I can work, relax, or go out. We are our baby's main babysitter right now; the father and I, and we have chosen this for many reasons; one is that we want to instill as much love in this little human being as we possibly can while it matters the most.
I'm taking a Yoga Teacher Training now. I literally signed up for it this past Thursday. I had been thinking about doing it all summer. I was inspired during a beautiful kirtan gathering at Main Line Yoga in Ardmore. Singing in kirtan is one of my favorite things to do, and being a part of the energy of love/God, creates awakenings in my spirit and soul, and in that moment, my guidance was communicating to me strongly that this course would be perfect for the next level of my development. The teacher training is called Yin Yoga, and it is an extremely powerful form of yoga for moving chi in the body; stuck chi, stagnant chi, and becoming more alive in the body by transforming the energy of emotions and physical blocks. The main focus for the course is moving the energy in the meridians such as in Taoism or Chinese Medicine. There are also a lot of key connections in the Yin Yoga Teacher Training related to Ayurveda as well as Tantra. It is a good balance for the Shiatsu Massage and Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure training I have already done (as well as Yoga and Tantra) and reconnects me to that subtle, yet powerful form of healing through movement of the body, breath and energy of chi. Yin Yoga is not for beginners, however, beginners can use it to enhance their Yoga practice, or to help open the body through a subtle, calm, yet powerful practice. I look forward to the new calmness and spiritual connection to source this has already begun to create for me, and the new revelations it will offer for me in my work.
Blessings to all!
Namaste!

The Differences Between Tantra Yoga, Sexual Healing and Intimacy Therapy
Even though I offer all three of these forms of Healing in my work and on my websites, the three variations are completely different. Here is how it is explained.
Tantra Yoga offers the practices of raising the energy through the breath; without physically touching another human being. Although touching another can become a part of this practice, it doesn't come until later, until one has reached a state of awakening and bliss within oneself. Tantra Yoga is a practice done solely and can be a meditation of stillness and a meditation of movement. It can be done sitting, standing or lying down. There are specific practices used to raise the Kundalini and open connections to oneself, and Tantra Yoga is where one needs to start to begin to awaken to these energies. In order to gain access to the Bliss and Ecstasy of Sexual Healing and Intimacy Therapy (Advanced Tantra Yoga) one must learn the basics. However, Tantra Yoga alone can offer an incredible amount of bliss and ecstasy, and once one realizes this, sometimes they no longer desire trying to get the ecstasy from another they so often thought they could achieve. Although, when you start with one you can most definitely move to another; in the order and time you are ready. Tantra Yoga is more like going to Yoga class and sitting and listening to the instructor guide the student through the poses; however, the poses in this sense are different movements of the body and different ways of expanding the breath. It is quite different.
Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing encompasses practices of Tantra Yoga, however, with a Practitioner giving a Healing Service with the receiver lying down, or sitting upright. Sexual Healing is not a series of learning exercises to practice as much as it is a practice to move energies to help you heal blocks of pain, numbness, anger, sadness or any other emotion that is in your way. Sexual Healing is a way of receiving the nurturing you need in specific areas of your body. It can include eye contact while you lie on the floor, energy healing or reiki anywhere on the body, massage techniques, and guidance on moving your energy.
Intimacy Therapy
Intimacy Therapy is a very intimate form of therapy and healing, and when one requests this as a session, they must be willing to be authentic to their own feelings within them self and allow them self to become vulnerable with their Practitioner. Often times, a client will need to come to the Practitioner for weeks or months before they are ready to allow themselves to trust the Practitioner they are seeing; unless they are already on a deep spiritual path and know within themselves that they are ready. Prior to Intimacy Therapy, the client will go through a few practices of Tantra Yoga and sometimes Sexual Healing before opening up to the Intimacy Therapy. However, in few cases, the client requesting the session will know exactly what they are wanting to address and heal and Intimacy Therapy can be performed immediately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many people get Tantra Yoga confused with Sexual Healing, Intimacy Therapy, and Tantric sex. All of these have their own definitions and are all completely different from each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Often times, there will be a Practitioner who is truly a Surrogate or an Escort and has not had formal training in Tantra, but will still call themselves a "Tantra Teacher or Healer"; however, if they themselves have not gone through the training and can't even meditate, then they are not truly a Tantra Yoga Healer or Teacher; however, the distinction is similar, but not the same.
Some Practitioners who are truly offering "Sexual Healing", or are only giving pleasure or release and not guiding the student/client into the arts of Tantra with the practices of the breath and other exercises, are misleading the client.
All of these Practices are unique on their own. They each have a separate description and distinction from each other. And, they all are very important!

The Basics of Tantra Healing - For Those of you with No Prior Experience
For those of you with no previous experience, I will now be offering sessions to better prepare you to be ready for the Advanced Tantric Arts.
(For Those of you with prior experience, please skip this post and scroll below).
It takes a very brave and committed person to take on the challenge of learning the Advanced Tantra Arts; and for those of you who have never had basic experience with Spiritual Healing or Spiritual concepts, we will need to start there - i.e. Spiritual Healing Sessions that do not consist of the Tantric Arts (the basics of Tantra), in an effort to be more prepared for the Advanced Tantric Arts offered on this website.
Tantra Practices Before Sexual Healing & Intimacy Therapy (Advanced Tantra Sessions):
You will need to learn the philosophies and concepts of energy, breathing, what the chakras are and how we can use them to expand our body and soul, body work for opening the flow of energy in your entire being, energy healing for clearing energy blocks or emotional stress, yoga and what the basics of yoga are, what it means to be present, how to create consciousness within oneself and to use your emotions, stresses and pains as a guide for your growth, what your emotional and mental blocks are, the value of working through them, some Spiritual Psychotherapeutic processing, what it means to be authentic, basic meditation, and more!
I will also offer breathing practices training and meditation guidance as part of this training.
More Information:
You may visit my new site www.AsttarteDeva.com or this blog for more information on these Spiritual Healing Sessions; however, I will be updating this blog to reflect this post for your better understanding. The fees are less for these sessions, and their main purpose is to prepare you to take the Advanced Tantra Sessions seriously. The new website will describe all the Spiritual forms of Healing I offer, for those of who who qualify for these services. (See post below for information on the new website). Please Note: The more gentle Healing Sessions are just AS powerful as the Advanced Tantra Sessions and are just as important. It takes a ready and willing soul to dive into the depths of Tantra, and Tantra is not just about sex; it is about the entire person!
I am now offering Basic Tantra Practices to prepare for the Advanced Tantra Sessions -- to those who just want a quick fix, and who have never had any previous experience with Healing, Tantra, Spirituality, Yoga, or Self-Development before. The Basic Tantra Practices are imperative to understand the Advanced Tantra Sessions listed in posts below.
I will not forbid you from receiving the more erotic or Advanced Tantra Services, however, some basic principles will need to be practiced to get the most out of these sessions and in order to feel all of its benefits. Basic Practices and Advanced Practices can be incorporated within one session; but being committed to a series of sessions with me over a period of time will allow you the greatest benefit and the most expansion than just coming once with no prior experience at all.
This is my way of being authentic and truly listening to my own guidance. I didn't come to Tantra as the beginning of my Spiritual Journey. I had to learn the basics for 10 years prior to that, and asking others to dive in and understand concepts in my Tantra Sessions can be overwhelming to many. This is my way of being real, and giving you the information slowly, one step at a time!
Check this blog http://SexBlissLifeCoach.blogspot.com and my site www.AsttarteDeva.com for more details and clear explanations on this post.

Description of Tantra Practices
For further details from my site AsttarteDeva.com/
*The following is adult content ONLY!*
Each type of session/exercise or practice can be performed as one session solely, or several can be combined in one treatment session. We can decide together what of these practices to choose - based on your goals or intentions from the list above, or I can use my intuition to choose how the session will go.
Descriptions of Sessions, Exercises and Tantra Practices below:
Tantra Yoga Practices; tantra movement exercises, meditations & breathwork:
Tantra Yoga Practices
Practices of Tantra Yoga include over 30 exercises of expanding awareness, awakening bliss in the body, moving the energy in the chakras, full body movement exercises and breathing exercises. We will move into any of the exercises available to us and create a sacred session fill with expansion and love! This can be done standing or sitting.
Tantra Meditations
Tantra Meditations are done seated, working with the breath, the kundalini energy, the kegels/root lock and powerful visualizations. There are over 100 Tantra Meditations and each can be used to prepare the client to receive a powerful healing session.
Tantra Breathwork.
Tantra Breathwork is almost the same as the Meditations, however, this can include meditations as well as more physical movement. This can be done standing or sitting. Most often, this practice is done laying down on the back, with the knees up and feet planted on the floor. The main intention of the breathwork is to release energy blocks in the aura, and emotional blocks in the body. Tantra Breathwork creates deep awakenings, insights and emotional transformations to manifest and create changes that help uplift the spirits, bring enlightenment to oneself and ones personal relationships. This is an excellent substitute to Energy & Movement Psychotherapy and can be a powerful catalyst to therapy, a way of taking personal responsibility for one's process in and out of a relationship, and a way of creating harmony in your personal and love life!
Tantra Shamanic Breathwork
see Tantra Breathwork!
Tantra Eye Gazing
A popular practice often overlooked - Tantra eye gazing drops layers upon layers of walls of energy stored around your own aura, and if given the proper focus and time, can allow deep healing, deep sacred and intimate connection to occur, and powerful blocks to be removed while speaking your truth of who you are and communcating this to the one(s) you love! This practice is often done before anything else. It creates a safe container of connection, trust and intimacy to be built, and without this nothing else can be done!
Yabyum exercises for intimate connection & healing Tantra Massage
Yabyum is another sanskrit word for connection with the Beloved. you will often see statues of Shiva and Shakti or Radha and Krishna sitting in the position. It is where the man sits in the lotus (or indian style) position, and the female sites upon his lap. The man lays his arms around the females lower back, and the female lays her hands on his upper back. The position is done with the Tantric kiss (forehead to forehead), connection and clearing the chakras, the breathing of the kundalini energy, chanting the mantras of the chakras, and awakening the kundalini to connect to the beloved!
Kundalini Fire Breath
Kundalini Fire Breath is a practice done solo. It can be done sitting in any position, and in Kundalini Yoga is often done during intense yoga asana postures. In Tantra Yoga, this is usually done in the lotus position; while sitting still. The Kundalini Fire Breath creates harmony between the yin and yang, or masuline and feminine sides of the body and harmonizes the energy within you and around you. It creates a feeling of stillness and peace all over and other words for this are called Bliss! The feeling is mesmerizing!
Sensual Massage
Sensual Massage is a Healing Massage used to create connection, let go of barriers, and open up to the awareness of feeling touched and heighten sensitivity to touch, and allow for feelings of euphoria and bliss overall. Other practices of tantra are often done to prepare for this session, and allowing at least 1 hour minimum for the remainder of the session to be done on Sensual Massage will give the feeling one deeply desires and deserves! Other practices are often done within the massage to heighten the overall experience.
Sacred Spot Massage
Sacred Spot is another word for the prostate for men. This practice can be added to a Sensual Massage for heightened pleasure, or can be done solo as a Spiritual and Healing Session. When done solo, it can be a very powerful healing tool for releasing blocked emotions within the body, and when this is requested, please be prepared to drink a lot of water and have plenty of rest after the session is over.
Sacred Yoni Healing
This practice is offered for women. Yoni is a sanskrit word for the female sexual area and when offered by the Dakini this is done for healing of deep seated trauma, awakening blockages in the body, expanding orgasm, and offering loving compassion and gentle support for the woman. Sacred Yoni Healing can create a feeling of upliftment and empowerment in the body, and expand the Goddesses awareness to all that surrounds her. This healing exercise is offered with presence and loving acceptance from the Dakini.
Goddess Worship
This is where the Practitioner allows the receiver to give to the Practitioner in a form that would allow them pleasure from having a lack of giving in their personal life. It is a time to let down walls and guards in regards to intimacy, however, the practitioner may still have certain boundaries within this dynamic and also offer suggestions or teaching in how this can be done. Goddess Worship can include physical intimate touch, massage techniques, and energy techniques.
Sacred Lingham Healing
Lingham is an indian sanskrit word for the male sacred area. Another word for Lingham is wand of light! And, in Tantra and Sacred Intimacy, the lingham is viewed as a wand of light always, even when one does not realize this potential within him. In tantra, the lingham is a tool for awakening the kundalini and can be used to expand consciousness within himself and his beloved female partner. The male must practice the art of tantra for this sacred connection and ability of healing himself and his female partner to be created, however, with the tools and practice, this can be achieved. The Sacred Lingham Healing is performed by the Dakini, to help remind the God/Shiva/man of his own divinity and power within him, to feel nurtured, received, accepted and loved for who he is. He may learn practices to contain his energy and hold his power to expand his orgasm for longer lasting love.
Sacred Bath Ritual
The Sacred Bath Ritual is a practice to create a feeling of unconditional love, acceptance and feeling honored as a man or woman in the world. It almost gives a feeling of nurturing as an infant or child would feel, and the mothering energy offered can almost be transformed into a feeling of deep and unconditional acceptance from the receiver. This practice is often done to prepare for a Sensual Massage or Sacred Intimacy. It also may be done to help someone repressed to reawaken desires and passions stored within them, and to relive a fanasy or create a fantasy never experienced before. The Sacred Bath creates feelings of peace and relaxation, an opportunity to be in the unknown, and to surrender to the stresses of every day life!
Sacred Foot Massage
Sacred Foot Massage is one of my favorite practices to offer for clients. The feeling of the warmth of the water and the bubbles trickles up ones entire legs and allows the body to melt away all feelings of tension and stress. This gives me an opportunity to share my loving gifts of intuition to offer energy healing, and sensual touch.The Sacred Foot Massage often leads into many other wonderful energies and creates a beautiful beginning of an amazing session.
Pleasuring Your Partner
This Session is often done in a Couples Session, where I as the Dakini, assist you and your partner to the feelings of eroticism and tantric love. This can be done as a fuly erotic session, or a gentle session of love and intimacy filled with breath, eyegazing, gentle loving touch and massage. When a client comes to see me alone, this is often replaced with a Goddess Worship Session.
Tantric Touch Full Body to Body Sensual Massage
This Session is a full healing and full body session where all walls, barriers, and blocks are let go, and no guards are keeping the session to move into a space of sacred love. Both parties must be fully comfortable and aware of intentions, and nothing will be performed without consent and without agreement. All sessions are done with loving acceptance, unconditional love, and honoring the God and Goddess in each other.
Intimacy TherapyIntimacy Therapy is a very intimate form of therapy and healing, and when one requests this as a session, they must be willing to be authentic to their own feelings within them self and allow them self to become vulnerable with their Practitioner. Often times, a client will need to come to the Practitioner for weeks or months before they are ready to allow themselves to trust the Practitioner they are seeing; unless they are already on a deep spiritual path and know within themselves that they are ready. Prior to Intimacy Therapy, the client will go through a few practices of Tantra Yoga and sometimes Sexual Healing before opening up to the Intimacy Therapy. However, in few cases, the client requesting the session will know exactly what they are wanting to address and heal and Intimacy Therapy can be performed immediately.
Intimacy Therapy can include other techniques from this list including:
Tantra Eye Gazing
Yabyum exercises for intimate connection & healing Tantra Massage
Pleasuring Your Partner
Tantric Touch Full Body to Body Sensual Massage
Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing encompasses practices of Tantra Yoga, however, with a Practitioner giving a Healing Service with the reciever lying down, or standing upright. Sexual Healing is not a series of learning exercises to practice as much as it is a practice to move energies to help you heal blocks of pain, numbness, anger, sadness or any other emotion that is in your way. Sexual Healing is a way of receiving the nurturing you need in specific areas of your body. It can include eye contact while you lie on the floor, energy healing or reiki anywhere on the body, massage techniques, and guidance on moving your energy.

Description of Tantra Practices
Some of you may be wondering about the workings of the Tantra Practices I mention in my list of services available (below in previous posts), and little to my knowing, the description was not on here. I thought it might be useful to all of you if you had a better understanding of what some of the descriptions were, so I am taking this time now to write out the meanings behind these ancient Tantric Arts and how they are viewed as healing, Therapeutic, and in some ways Transformational!
Types of Sessions Offered
Sessions For Spiritual Healing - Sessions for Spiritual Healing are focused on your spiritual connection to source, your self, your inner energies with your soul, your outer energies with the universe and your connection to life. These sessions help you to gain a greater awareness of who you are, your role in the world, and allow you to gain greater energy and love connection to yourself and your beloved.
Sessions for Energy Movement - Sessions for Energy Movement allow you to shift any blocks of resistance, fear that is hidden underneath distractions or misguided desires, allow for deeper intimacy with your beloved and your greatest teacher; yourself. These sessions help to create openings and expansions so you can feel freer in your choices, your desires, and your role as a man or woman in the world. These sessions can be empowering, uplifting, releasing, relaxing, cleansing and rejuvenating. Sessions for Energy movement can be done with sound, the breath, body movements, energy and the powerful hidden energy of our thoughts.
Sessions for Raising Sexual Energy - Sessions for Raising Sexual Energy carry a charge of Kundalini; a source hidden within your own body. These practices are strictly done by means of Tantra Yoga; for opening the heart, releasing blocks in our sexual center, raising the sexual energy, opening all the chakras, feeling more overall bliss in our body, our heart, and the energy all around us. Sessions for raising sexual energy, allow us to feel more, on a cellular level, and can sometimes connect us to our deepest pains AND our deepest desires. These sessions are empowering, uplifting and sometimes...exhausting, but well worth the commitment it takes to get to the road less traveled. These sessions are life changing!
Sessions for increasing Intimacy with your partner, self and practicing with the Dakini - Sessions for increasing Intimacy come after some of the other types of sessions mentioned above. One must feel a connection to their own energy, and to the energy of their partner, before they can connect to the energy of Intimacy. The energy of Intimacy IS the Energy of Love! One cannot exist without the other. These sessions help to feel more love from another human being, a purpose for being in the world, more nurtured and loved with complete unconditional acceptance, and sometimes to reawaken desire that has been stagnant and in some cases...lost! Sessions for increasing intimacy can be life changing when one has been single for a long time, or has forgot what it feels like to be touched. Sometimes we just need a hug or to be held, and with our own partner, we may not get that need met often, and in many cases, we may not get it at all.
Often, the description of the sessions above, is the order in which the sessions are given. We often have to start at one step to move to another.

New Website Under Construction - Integrating all forms of healing, resources, creative pursuits onto one website - AND more organized for Tantra.
Some new changes are in the works. I'm building a website that I will eventually be switching over as my primary website. My work will stay the same, however, the contents of the information will incorporate all Spiritual forms of healing that go along with the Tantric Arts I offer. I am doing this for professional reasons. All of you who are true regular clients, understand the power behind my work and how much it has helped you. I will not be changing my work. Everything will be the same.

There can be risks with advertising explicitly Sexual work, and to keep my work professional and confidential, I am choosing to build my own website, something bigger and better than I've ever had before.
This blog will eventually change to a real blog of writing about Sexual Healing, processes, new developments, exciting things happening, workshops I take, pictures I want to share, etc.

Coming Clean - Opening up and Honesty about Sexuality and Sexual Healing
This blog is normally one of professional services writings, however, it is also a blog that I like to write to and add information on my work, my individual preferences and any news that could be of help or value to you!
After returning from the most amazing Conference for Sacred Sexual Healers I've ever been to, I've decided to tell you a couple things.
First, is that sometimes during my own healing of my own traumas, I may focus the session more on healing and less on eroticism and sexuality, however, very sensual in nature and still can be very sexual. I fluctuate my sessions depending on the level of energy that is moving through me. In the past, if you have been coming to me for 3 years now, you might notice how sometimes in sessions with me, I'll be wildy erotic, and other times I'll be more feminine and gentle and more motherly in my approach. Both are extremely important in these tantric arts, however, we all go through different phases of our life. However, since returning from the Sacred Sexual Healers conference and receiving my own healing session, I went through my own darkness. I ordered flower essences to help with this transformation since...
- I love my work so much and would do everything I can to continue to be present for others during this time. As a Sacred Sexual Healer, and being a Reiki Master for over 11 years now, (and other Spiritual Coach labels you might or might not be familiar with) I am very in touch with my own energy.
- My meditation practice has been deeper, my ability to relax has been deeper, I am more in touch with my heart center, I am more connected to my source, and in turn will be a more powerful healer for those who come to see me.
- As you can see, before I left to Sedona and received this healing, I had started an online Sex Toy Business. I will be continuing to do this, and this is just an example of how I was in a strong place of feeling erotic before going out there.
However, the more clear I am of my past, the more amazing my sessions can be. I always speak the truth of my boundaries as they come up, and I accept anyone else's boundaries as valid and important as well. This is an opportunity to be real with each other and to share each other's truth. If you know me, then perhaps you will appreciate this honesty and the truth that this is being worked on and will allow me to be empowered in my sexuality and more alive in my whole self than ever before!
- I also learned some new powerful ways of accessing a man's ability to bring up his kundalini/sexual energy from his sex center so he does not ejaculate so quickly and can hold his erection longer, and feel more alive an in his body. I am excited to practice this with my old clients and new.
As a Dakini, moving into my power even more, I want to speak words, that remind me of the phrase "coming out". Here is my statement below:
Description of a Dakini: A Dakini is a Healer who works in the Sexual Healing Arts. A Dakini is a female version of a Daka; a male Sacred Sexual Healer. A Dakini is trained in the arts of Sexual Healing and performs her services with highest integrity of the receiver coming to the Sexual Practitioner. A Dakini is not only a Dakini in her work, but this is her life. She is a practitioner of tantra and the ancient arts of sexuality, yoga and the breath. A Dakini can combine her gifts as a Sexual Healer with her other gifts of healing, such as Shamanism, intuition, and creates a space of safety, sensuality and love. As a Dakini, she can also use her gifts of ritual to perform her healing sessions and fill the space with the divine archetypes, angelic realm, ascended masters, and any other higher being she chooses to call on. As a Dakini and a pagan Goddess, I like to draw in my powers of healing, and my powers of intention to create a session filled with powerful manifestation of what the receiver desires to bring into his or her life. The word Dakini is very ancient, and there is very little information on it from
I have been a Dakini for 3 ½ years and a pagan for 13 years. When I was first becoming a Dakini, I chanted the mantra for Ma’at and asked for her healing powers to support me. She was with me every step of the way. As I took on the name Astarte (and added a “t” for my own numerological reasons), Astarte, is now with me always.
- I will be keeping a journal of my sessions with clients as I feel inspired. This will be completely anonymous but also filled with the journey to love in each session I create. My desire is to continue this journal so that I may share my own journey of healing as I help others and as I continue to develop my skills in helping them!
Thank you all for your trust in me, your confidence and your bravery in moving into your own sexual power!
Blessings of love to all of you!

Types of Sessions and Scheduling
This website is updated regularly.
TYPES OF SESSIONS AVAILABLE
(See Scheduling at the bottom of this post)
WHAT A TYPICAL SESSION LOOKS LIKE
I love meeting new people and especially new clients that could potentially be people I help that grows to something beautiful!
All my clients I treat with kindness and love. We get together and sit in my healing room and get acquainted. We create a spiritual connection and create a space of comfort with each other before getting started with anything else.
Then the session is directed by what your focus is on, your interests and your needs; whether they be spiritual, emotional, physical or sexual. We only do what feels right in the moment and what we both agree on. I always ask before we move in any direction. I do my best to give off the energy of love, compassion, understanding and patience throughout the entire session. I also always request for you to be as completely honest with me as possible (i.e. when you are uncomfortable, do not like something, want to do something different, or want me to change how I am doing something, such as touching with massage or counseling when you do not want to discuss __).
I offer a sliding scale. I offer this so that those who cannot afford the higher rate can choose to give what they can, and those who are able to afford more have this choice as well.
Tips
I do not expect tips, but if you desire you may give extra if you can. I also love flowers, candles, organic fruit or vegetables, incense, saris or sarongs, stones and music.
Clients
I prefer to work with clients who have some experience on a Spiritual path. If you do not have any experience, please be prepa
red to learn how to get started. I may suggest books, exercises to practice, videos to watch or other suggestions specific to your needs and where you are in your life.
If you are someone new to the Spiritual path, I may suggest we do some Energy Healing before diving into the intense tantra sessions I offer. If I suggest an Energy Healing Session first, this is because it will prepare you that much more for receiving a Tantra Session with me. It is extremely important that your energy is clear in order to receive tantra work. If you are going through an extremely hard period in your life, or under loads of stress, we may have to do the healing work before tantra, and this is to prepare for for the next level of healing; Tantra Therapy. You cannot go to college until you've first gone through Elementary School. We may also be able to incorporate an Energy Healing Session within the time you come to see me, so you can receive both Energy Healing and Tantra work in one. To see more on my Healing Sessions, go to http://intuitivesessions.blogspot.com
I am working with regular clients and new clients. Regular clients are those who come on a regular basis or those I have seen before and those I have interviewed, talked with or seen their profile.

Thai Yoga Massage - Eastern Massage encompassing stretching, deep pressure, movement and deep breathing. This modality you need to be awake for and alert to work with me as your guide.
Shiatsu Massage - 5 element Shiatsu and Zen Shiatsu - similar to Thai Massage, but more gentle, however, still deep and very opening and awakening to the body. The opening of the body through Shiatsu can have similar effects to what a full body tantra experience offers.
Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure - a form of acupressure to release severely tight muscles that other modalities are unable to resolve, a method to also heal deep seated issues stuck in the body. This method alone I could have an entire website on exclaiming how awesome it is. It helped me heal unlike no other modality possible a deep muscle condition I had. This modality can open someone's body that makes
them almost feel like gumby (as my brother says)!
Therapeutic Massage - some pfrimmer techniques, as well as Shiatsu, Thai and Jin Shin Do.
Rebirthing Breathwork Massage (Emotional Clearing with Massage) - I recommend these two techniques to be done separately, however, some like to be massaged while breathing.

I would be happy to give you a short description of how the session would go, but other than the initial interview/counseling process it is hard to say what will happen. I offer many tools and skills and each session is unique in its' own. I would find out your individual interests, desires, and needs as a couple and then we would talk about what I could offer when we meet regarding those desires, interests, and needs. Your answer will guide me in this process and our initial connection will also lead us to where the session will take. There is a definite possibility that I could be there with you two for a deeper session of intimacy. I may not be interactive the whole time, but I will be there the whole time to support you. (Your session will be taken place in doors at my location, yours, or another location we agree on).
Fees for Couples:
$225 an hour
2 hour Couples Session $425 (negotiable)
Double Goddess Sessions
2 hour - $600 to $750
(Fees are based on two persons).
To request a Double Goddess Session, we need ample time in advance so I can arrange my schedule with other Dakini's. I will now be working with Dr. Susan Kaye doing Double Goddess Sessions for women only!
There are also lists of dakinis on the website www.goddesstemple.com. If are interested in someone in particular on this site or others, let me know and we can work on getting connected to meet your needs.
(The picture above was taken during the time Dakini Jaiya and I did Double Goddess Sessions together in July 2006).

The Gentler Side of Tantra
Radiating everywhere
I surrender
to the violet plane
I surrender to this body
I surrender to this mind
I breathe and let life in
I breathe and let fate take me
I am wholeness in peace
No one can take me back but my own
my ego, my temptations, my resistance
I am always in control
I let go and allow
as I am continuously filled with love.
Tantra is not just about a sexual experience. In fact, most people in the US, and especially the East coast have the mis-belief that tantra is completely about sex. The truth is sex is only 10% a part of tantra and the other 90% is about practices, meditation, healing, kundalini awakenings, movement of the breath and the body (and I'm not talking about sexual movement here), being authentic and in your truth (speaking your heart, communicating what you really want to say, doing what you really want to do at your core), yoga practices, and more.
I am here as a guide and I have chosen to take on the path as a Healer, and I have also chosen to go so deep in being a Healer as taking on the role of a Tantra Healer; which has its risks and its benefits. However, a lot of my experience has been with men who desire to "release", or have a sexual encounter. My job is in telling you that this is not what tantra is about. My soul is speaking to me and is now telling me that I need to teach all of you intensely interesting men and richly sexual men that you need to get on a spiritual path that combines the essence of tantra; combining deep breathing and energy movement practices to raise the energy up the spine which has the ultimate goal of opening your entire energy being; your auric field, your essence, your radiance and presence. This is not the sexual energy you feel when you have an orgasm. This is the blissful feeling you get when you are alone; taking a bath and fully relaxed with no pressures and you feel filled with light and love. This blissful feeling is not the orgasmic feeling you get when with your partner, but rather the feeling you have when you are truly at peace on every level.
The goal of tantra is to feel so clear inside your heart and spirit that you get to a place where things bother you less and you feel better about life and about your self. Once you've achieved this, or in conjunction with, then the next goal is to work through any blocks in your communication or blocks in the energy between you and your beloved, OR remove the "blocks", that is taking away that empty space that is leaving you alone with no partner at all and drawing in the powers of your being to create and manifest the perfect partner for you.
My goal is to work with you as a team player, a coach, a Healer and a friend. I hope to help sooth your stresses, mend your questioning mind, calm your nerves, resolve conflicts with your relationship, and help you manifest a partner that is perfectly aligned for exactly who you are.
I am a new mother and there may be times when I cannot get back to you right away (and my regular clients know this), but I will always get back to you.
May you always be Blessed and Loved!

Remembering Presence
During the moments of quiet within each breath and the whispers of every second, remaining still becomes presence, and holding space is all that is. As I sit and hold space for my clients, I remember how tranquil and beautiful it feels to be still and present. And in time in sessions this beauty and presence feels like it could last for eternity. Being present is a meditation and a joy to achieve, and although it sounds simple to attain, for many it can be very difficult. And so this is where tantra practice comes in to achieve this balance and doing this with another allows the attainment that much easier. Offering the sessions to another allows the mirror to be reflected; the love you put out comes back to you, the peace you put out comes back to you, and the presence you put out comes back you. Anything you give is received and offered back as love. And so in being still, we create this miracle together.
It has been a couple months since I’ve offered sessions from after the birth of my beautiful baby. As I return to my practice and the sacred art of healing, by giving of service through sessions, I return to what I love and remember the beauty of being still. As I give to others, I also receive and in teaching meditation and love to others, I also reach the still place of meditation and love in my own self. This gift of giving can be a miracle; not only the miracle of healing to others, but also the miracle of healing oneself.
I only know the depth and immensity of what healing can do for others by how deep it has impacted my own life. My own testimony to how much I have transformed from all healing paths that I have been trained, received healing, and have had experience in some way is the only way that I know how intensely powerful they all are. However, you must be truly willing to delve deep inside in order to come out of your own shell like the butterfly blossoms from its cocoon.
As we become still in moments that feel challenging to slow down our body, and slow down our mind, this is when we can truly transform and open our hearts to a more serene place of love. And in being present to others we are also present to ourselves. And, in Tantra, this is healing in a universal way; helping the self and helping the other as the circle of energy makes its way around; from you into them, from them into you and continues this cycle again and again until you choose to end the practice. The energy cycles and circulates from one to another and presence remains while love grows stronger and healing blossoms from within. There is nothing more beautiful and miraculous than this. Slowing down is the biggest key to healing; whether it is tantric healing or any other form; practicing presence is all you need.
