“If Connection is home…  then authenticity is the doorway and vulnerability the key”

~ Donna Bloom ~

In a culture that emphasizes value on the external, we often end up compromising ourselves.

“Looking good” is prioritized over feeling good, as a result, we’ve lost touch with who we really are.

We hide the bits we’re ashamed of, our fear, our pain and vulnerability, our jealousy and often our beauty and vibrancy…
We parade a facade, a half truth.

Jung called these parts that we hide and contort
“The Shadow”
and they run our lives (until we integrate them).
We see it when we’re triggered – those automatic reactions that we have no control over,
in the habits and patterns we run in our relationships, and in our projections and the assumptions we hold about those around us.

Living, as well as our sexuality has become a performance instead of an act of love, connectedness and sacred celebration.

Coming back to the true self means that we begin to meet life with authenticity.

As we begin to tap into our innate wildness, life’s richness and mystery reveals itself.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are. 

~ Brené Brown

My approach, although deeply rooted in tender loving care, does require courage.


The courage to be seen, to meet your reactions and to allow the feelings that arise to be felt fully, because feelings only want to be felt!

 

This is the way of and to emotional maturity…
A maturity which permeates every inch of our lives, our relationships with our partners, parents, lovers, peers, our sex, our work.

 

It then becomes unnecessary to manipulate our circumstances to get the life and love we want.

We become magnetic to the people and circumstances that support our journey.

 

We have an opportunity to grow into a deep acceptance of the momentum of life.

When our nervous system gets the support it needs, we can begin to truly open our hearts and learn to hold our own feelings.

 

In this way, we can surrender to the beautiful chaos that is this life.

Soul Routes Sessions & Retreats

are an experiential container, and holistic methodology for learning to love, hold and accept these split off aspects and welcome these parts home.

This is a repatterning and a self-reparenting. Here we build a solid foundation from which to reconnect & rebuild.

No longer strangers running the show from the background,
but welcomed members of your inner household.

Each session is unique and completely dependent on what is arising.
In fact, the less expectations you have on what “should” happen,

the more potent our time together will be.

I offer a limited number of sessions per week. This allows me the space, time and stillness to continue my own learning and explorations into the deeper mysteries of living and loving.

Rather than a laser focus on sexuality or sexual energy, my approach to tantra is more of a wholistic perspective shift,

one that aims to catalyze more openness to life
by excavating what keeps us stuck and cultivating a deeper connection to Her/ source/ God/ existence.

This is a grounded, sustainable, and wholesome approach.


With this in mind, our sessions are intuitive and spontaneous in nature.

Sometimes bodywork is required, other times nature immersions, plant medicines, or even just conversation.
We could meet at the beach, one of the tranquil session spaces I use in Cape Town, or somewhere for lunch.

At times I may even refer you to another therapist if I feel it would support your explorations.
