I'm Marisa, a Tantric healer, bodyworker, and Somatic Sex and Relationships Coach with 17 years experience helping men, women, and couples transform their relationship to pleasure, intimacy, and their own bodies. My background includes extensive training in Tantra and Sacred Sexuality, study through the Somatica Institute (USA), certification in Myofascial Release and CranioSacral Therapy, and a Master's degree in Holistic Learning.
My Journey
People often ask me how I came to be a Tantric Guide. A Tantric journey is always a personal one. I've always been a seeker of wisdom and truth, and it's led me on an interesting path of self-discovery.
The most important self-development work for me has been grounding myself in my body and exploring the mysteries laid bare there. As an adult, I found the most healing in mindfulness and body-centred practices, which brought more joy and expansion to my being. As I continued developing my own embodiment and meditative practices, I began having a range of energetic experiences that taught me about the power and pleasure of sexual life force energy — and what becomes possible when we take a more mindful, sensitive approach to bodies, and to the very important, very interesting subject of sex.
A Natural Gift
I'm an energy worker, masseuse, and life coach with a background in education and ecology.
Seventeen years ago, I realised I had a gift, a passion, and a unique combination of personal attributes to fulfil the role of a Tantric Practitioner. Honestly, it's the kind of role one is born to do, not a decision one makes lightly — it was a big step making my private passion public.
But looking back over the course of my life, I could see how my experiences, professional learnings, philosophies, and personal qualities had all been preparing me for this role. I realised I could serve humanity in a unique way. The day I laid my hands on my first client, I bowed my head with gratitude at the realisation: this is what I am here to do.
I believe sexual energy is largely misunderstood and under-used. We have access to so much power — super powers, even — and I feel blessed to support others in awakening their sexual potential and transforming their lives, simply through touch, connection, and sharing. I'd love the opportunity to show you what I mean, and how you can too.
You'll find me friendly, down to earth, and elegant. Kind, gentle, funny, and wise.
