I believe every human being has gifts to share and that these are often grown from where we have suffered the most. Our self-acceptance, kindness and ease with ourselves, when we have felt witnessed, can ripple out to support ease with others.

“This training is without a doubt the most comprehensive, holistic, and ethically sound training I could have hoped to come across. I looked at many different training and coaching programs in the field of sexuality, tantra, + embodiment, and when I read through what was offered in this training, I was an immediate FULL BODY YES!
I’m so grateful and honoured; this has been such a rich, profound, and transformational journey. I’m growing in ways that bring me immense joy, knowing that I’m receiving so much more of my authentic liberated self, which is coming back online from participating in this training.
Through this first-hand experience of updating so many new versions of myself, I am blooming with excitement to be able to share this with my clients. The course is delivered in a very considerate and digestible manner. This is the kind of healing work that will help change the world. Thank you, Katie & Phoebe.”
