Offerings include a) Yoni eggs and wands, and b) sessions with women committed to multi-level transf Why is this work important? Who would benefit?
res the more subtle energetic expressions of life. This, in combination with years of unsuccessful psychotherapy in response to my wounded relationship with myself and the masculine, have led me to extend my research to the East, pursuing a passion for the ancient wisdom traditions of yoga, Vedic philosophy, Taoist tantra, and Buddhist mindfulness practices. Within the scope of Jungian depth psychology, I have also extensively explored how the feminine unconscious mind works and influences the choices women make. Taken together, I have found profound healing, on a holistic level, by drawing on all of the above lineages. Qualifications:
I have obtained a PhD in Psychiatry, and have combined my knowledge of chronobiology -how every system in the body has its own rhythm- with preserved wisdom predating the Patriarchal system (i.e., more than 5000 years ago), in coaching on hormone balancing. In addition to a thorough investigation of the roles of mythology, symbolism and specific goddess archetypes in the female psyche, I have completed a vinyasa yoga teacher training course inspired by Jivamukti yoga and based on authentic Vedic discourse, and have also trained in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a mindfulness-and-values-based behaviour therapy. Main objective:
I am devoted to healing the womb space, both on individual and collective levels, by fusing various healing modalities. The purpose is to facilitate union between the divine feminine (Shakti) and masculine (Shiva) principles - to be both active and receptive, autonomous and intimate, to work and to love fiercely. I invite women on a quest for individuation and embodiment of the Goddess, moving away from victim hood. This is the heroin’s path of finding, losing and rediscovering what gives meaning to her, and holding on to these values in all kinds of circumstances that test her. In today’s Patriarchal society, many women have experienced some form of childhood physical or emotional neglect and/or physical, psychological or sexual abuse, where they then repeat enacting those patterns of maltreatment by attracting romantic relationships that mirror those dynamics. Also, in ancient cultures, BEING rather than DOING/performing was encouraged, the phases of the menstrual cycles and female sexuality were honored in relation to nature, and women were celebrated as goddesses. In contrast, modern programming includes dominance over women (as reflected in the pornography industry) and Mother Nature, and lifestyles that are governed by goal-directed, incessant activity, artificial light, hormone disruptive cosmetics, cleaning agents, water and diet. Consequently, we are in a time of much needed healing, finding balance, and living in accordance with the principles of nature. All women who,
a) are challenged in terms of maltreatment (past or present), love/sex addiction, low self-worth,
b) are insecurely attached to their romantic partners, seeking constant other-validation,
c) suffer from hormone imbalances and gynecological issues (poly cystic ovarian syndrome, fibroids, endometriosis, difficult periods, thyroid and adrenal issues, premature aging, infertility and low libido)
d) are willing and committed to change limiting unconscious beliefs, and embody the Divine Feminine. How you would benefit? You will benefit with this work by healing trauma that resides within the womb. By incorporating self-care practices, dietary and lifestyle practices, you will cultivate a connection with your inner goddess and restore positive health. You will get to know which goddess archetypes are operating in your life, and how the manifestation of their shadow aspects can be transformed by means of a process of rewriting your story to one of love and female empowerment.
