Hello and welcome to The Sanctuary of Tantra. The Sanctuary of Tantra was created through my vision and passion to help people create harmony, peace and love within themselves, their relationships and with all of life.

I have studied and worked extensively in the holistic field and completed a Reiki Masters Degree in 2000 with The International House of Reiki in Sydney.  As well as teaching Reiki for many years in my own private practice, I also worked as a voluntary Reiki Practitioner with 'Balya' Cancer Self Help and Wellness Centre . I then went on to complete a Diploma in Reflexology and Counselling and studied many alternative healing therapies including Raja Yoga Meditation with the Brahma Kumaris, Shamanic Healing and Pranic Healing.

I was first introduced to Tantra in 1988 and studied under Dr Chowdhury who later became my spiritual mentor. His knowledge of sacred tantric teachings and wisdom opened an incredible journey for me to seek further understanding of this divine essence of a sacred ancient art called Tantra.

Many years ago I undertook a Tantra Goddess Training Program with The Australian School of Tantra.  Recently I have been extremely honoured to have completed the Tantra Training Program with JADE LOTUS TANTRIC MASSAGE www.tantramassage.com.au   Jade is an inspiration to the Tantra community and a very gifted and dynamic lady for all Shakti energy. I am also currently undertaking a study course 'Om Kara Kriya Tantra' www.jonnmumfordconsult.com with Dr Jonn Mumford (Swami Anandakapila Saraswati) and Author of Ecstasy through Tantra and A Chakra and Kundalini Workbook.  Dr Mumford is such an amazing teacher with a wonderful sense of humour and I highly recommend all his books.  They are so full of  Tantric wisdom and erotic Tantric delights!   I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank my teacher in QiGong and  Sexual QiGong (Tao) www.qigongtao.com.au Master Alex Lim.  Master Lim's teachings have opened me to a whole new awareness, wisdom and dedication to practicing the art 'live by what you preach'.  I am also a member of the Whitetigress Society and currently studying this amazing ancient practice based on the Tao principal.

After spending many years in the holistic field working in cancer retreats, I started to realize just how precious and sacred life is and how our relationships with ourselves, our partner, friends and family can play such a major role in our lives and well being.

The importance of having a secure loving and supportive partner, family and friends, has such a hugh impact on our lives, more so than we realise. To know that we are supported through hard times and illness can play such a major role in our healing and general well being. Practising Tantra brings a deeper understanding, respect and love for all our relationships and brings balance back into our lives.

I like many of us, grew up in a society where sex was taboo. You knew it was there but it was not the ‘in’ thing to talk to anyone about. Finding someone to talk about sex to on a deep level especially when I was young was like finding a needle in a haystack, hence I grew up with a limited sexual knowledge mainly through ‘Where did I come from?’ books in the primary school library. During my first relationship I found the concept of communication particularly daunting especially on conversations regarding sex. I was always worried I would say something wrong, or offend my partner or worse still that they would leave me. I also had very limited knowledge about orgasms and sexuality as a whole. Discovering Tantra changed all that. It reaches deep inside your whole being to a deeper understanding that it is your birthright to experience a beautiful, healthy and loving sexual union. Once you learn the skills of multiple orgasms, extended pleasure and surrendering to the moment, leaving all outside thoughts behind and becoming ‘one’ with your beloved, you can never go back to what ‘was’. You go beyond what ‘was’ to what ‘is’ by being in the moment and you see clearly the sacredness and beauty of divine intimacy.

The practice of Tantra is often misunderstood as just a 'sexual' practice.  Whilst this is true to some degree it also encompasses so much more.  It is the art of self transformation intergrating, mind, body and spirit, intertwining breath, meditation, grounding practices and sexual practices to become 'present' as well as strengthening our life force core centre and clearing the energy channels (Chakras) for 'Kundalini Awakening'.

I am dedicated to my practice and believe that you have to "walk the talk".  My other interests and passions are with the White Lions of Timbavati in South Africa.  These beautiful animals are nearly all in 'farms' used for 'canned trophy hunting'.  There is only one pride left in the world in it's natural habitat and this piece of heaven is looked after by the White Lion Global Protection Trust.  I am also busy enjoying being a mum to two teenage boys and regularly support their footy matches and all the delights of watching them grow up.

Tantra has transformed my life in such a dynamic and profound way. To feel connected to the goddess Shakti energy, my own sexuality, increased energy and my ability to love more deeply has enriched my life in so many wonderful ways.

I have been teaching and practicing Tantra for many years now and I have dedicated my life to sharing the joy, love and pleasure that Tantra brings.  It is my pleasure to invite you to experience all this and more with me as you learn the Sacred Secrets of an ancient art called Tantra.

Love and blessings,
