Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a pattern or loop? You are aware of it, but for some reason, cannot avoid it. Loops can be short-lived, like overthinking a problem to the point of exhaustion and insomnia. Or, they can span years and even decades, or lifetimes, for those who believe in reincarnation. Repeat failed businesses or relationships, can be patterns (they are not always).
When you are stuck in a loop, it’s hard to realise it. Oftentimes, you might need intense bouts of introspection, or the help of others who not only see the pattern you are caught in, but feel safe enough to share this with you. You, on the other hand, have to be prepared to face this reality and take action, if removing yourself from the loop is what you really want. Some people are attached to their loop, and the prospect of stepping outside of it is more terrifying than staying in the familiar pain. We all have free will – there is no judgement here. One of my great patterns I reproduced due to lack of self-awareness was following my mother’s story. She and my father did not see eye to eye early on, and separated while I was a baby. My mother then remarried, got divorced a second time, and is currently on her third (happy) marriage. She had me, her daughter, as only child. Similarly, I got married young and separated when my only daughter was small. Like my mother, I have two marriages under my belt.
As I saw myself reproducing my mother’s story, I felt helpless at changing its course. I did not have the tools I know possess to avert its unfolding, and yet, looking back, I know everything happened for a specific reason.
The different-sized loops have different protocols to address specific scenarios. As we are all unique, our loops are unique and so are the tools to deal with them. Loops can be made of shame, guilt, karmic debt.
If you feel like you could use help stepping out of your loops, whether big or small, send me a DM. I have several tools that can support you in this process. But first, you have to be willing to make the change!

There are many misconceptions about Tantra, even among so-called tantra-practitioners.
The most common is that Tantra is mainly about sexual practice. In my personal work with tantra, I have come to the conclusion that it is more about breath, consciousness, and connection. Sex may be a beautiful and fun part of it, but it is not the main focus, at least for me.
As we use the breath as a bridge between the physical and subtle (non-physical bodies), we open up our energy centers to greater flow. Our sexual energies reside in the lower energy centers of the bodies, commonly known as the chakras, so there will be sensation in this area.
Because our reproductive organs are located near the lower chakras, intense energy flooding in this part is almost automatically associated to sexuality and sexual pleasure.
However, this energy can also be channeled for other non-sexual endeavors such as creativity, non-romantic relations, productivity and even business.
During my event on 13 February, we will be activating all the energy centers in the body, and then connecting to a partner in sharing this life force in a sacred and intimate practice (you get to keep your clothes on). This is why I have decided to tailor this specific event for couples. You may do it with a friend, as I have in the past. But a word of warning: powerful energies will be unleashed, so you must trust your partner fully and have some sort of mutual understanding.
For those of you who are unable to participate physically, I have successfully led this practice online, so that can also be arranged. Either way, you know how to reach me.

Last month I mentioned I was opening a new six-month program for my 1:1 coaching.
I have to say that I really wanted to have a fancy launch and elaborate funnel, but that just didn’t feel authentic for me. I had to contend with this internal conflict that sounded like this: “Why are you being so resistant to structure? You are being lazy!” Yeah, it was not pretty.
All this to say that I am taking in 1:1 clients for my new program, which combines my tried and true classes that I have been teaching for years, together with fresh new content.
I know I should be telling you the precise outcome and problem I would be solving, but I gave up on that completely. Why? Because the results I have seen in my students in clients over the years have just been too diverse. In some cases, they were life-saving; I have had several people come to me to say that they would have taken their own lives if it hadn’t been for our work together. Other, less dramatic, but equally powerful outcomes include: improved relationships, more self-love, better health and sleep, less anxiety and stress.
Those of you who know me, know that part of my vision includes everyone learning to practice energy healing on themselves and others. Now I know the word “healing” is triggering for some, just like the word God is triggering for others! Allow me to clarify.
- Energy Healing happens when you give your full attention to the person sitting in front of you, and practice active listening.
- Energy Healing happens when you comfort a child who was hurt, by placing your hand gently on their boo-boo.
- Energy Healing happens when we sit in silence and hold space for our discomfort to transmute.
Yes, there are aspects of my practice that may appear esoteric, but like I always say: take what resonates and leave the rest.
My guarantee: if you work with me for six months, you will be a completely different person.
This is me without the fancy launch or elaborate funnels.
Message me if you want to find out if my six month online ENERGY ACADEMY program is for you.
