What are the biggest blocks to our pleasure?
Stress and trauma.
What if you could shake some of that off?
Today I want to share a somatic practice with you that can help you release some of that held tension and give you access to more vitality, joy and pleasure.
I'm talking about TREĀ®(Trauma Release Exercises).
TREĀ® is a series of exercises (created by trauma expert Dr. David Bercelli) that connects you to your body's natural way of releasing and integrating stress and trauma.This technique is simple, effective and empowering.
The best part?Once you master the basics, you can use this technique at home, on your own, whenever you need to bust some stress so you can open the pathways to experience more pleasure.

for a free masterclass that might just change your life.

I have a vulnerable share.
Are you ready?
My very first Jade Egg sat in the drawer for months. Not days. Not weeks. Weāre talkinā months.Like so many women, when I first heard about the Taoist Jade Egg practice, I was intrigued.
Iām a pretty holistic gal, so the promise of healing my pelvic floor issues (which were pretty bad) naturally, really appealed to me.
Iām also kinda witchy, to be honest.Iāve always been drawn to ancient mystical practices of all kinds.
Venus in Scorpio conjunct Neptune over here:)
So working with crystals in this sacredly sensual way seemed so cool.
The fact that the courtesans and wives of the Emperor's court in ancient China were into it?
Even cooler.
Making love to crystals to heal my pelvic floor?
Sounded sexy and fun to me!
I was so down!
I waited with anticipation for my very first Jade Egg to arrive and when it did, much to my surprise, I froze!
In this episode I tell the full story.
Which I think many women will find relatable.

Are you yearning for more?
I think most women are.
When it comes to intimacy do you find yourself confused or frustrated?

Maybe youāre done with the whole confusing mess and decided to focus on all of the other things in life that give you joy?
I hear you!
And I've definitely been there.
What if you could work some inner alchemy on this and shift your experiences of romantic love to be more in alignment with your desires.

Desire. The very word has some charge to it doesnāt it?
Desire has gotten a bad wrap in many spiritual circles and in society in general but in the realm of all things Venus, our desire is gold.
But most of us werenāt taught that.
Quite the opposite.
What Iāve come to understand and live more fully into is that desire is sacred life force calling us forward to our next adventure and our next growth edge.
Desire unleashed can be our greatest teacher; a fail-proof path to our authenticity and maturation as women.
A way to give our gifts more fully and joyfully to the world.
When we free our desire, we free our life force /eros and reclaim our direct line to the divine feminine.
We access our deepest feminine desires through honoring our bodies and our emotions.
Lots to talk about here:)Letās dive in!

When it comes to astrology, most people know their Sun sign.
Many know their Moon and Rising signs too.
But so few are acquainted with their personal Venus.
To be honest not many astrologers give Her much attention.
Or the wrong, ābad newsā, disempowering kind of attention.
Like āwith your Venus in this sign, or with this aspect on your Venus, your love life is doomed.ā kind of thing.
Thatās dangerous advice.
Venus is the part of your natal chart that brings it all alive.
The part that gets you clear on your desires, turns on your radiance, joy, magnetism and creativity.
She's here to offer you a way off of that hamster wheel of survival mode; of constant stress, resentment, numbness and exhaustion that weāre all too familiar with.The part that makes your life magical.
This essence is so unique to you; as unique as your fingerprint.
And there is no ābadā or āweakā placement of Venus.
But there are many variations on the theme.
So many women are cut off from this essence; itās pandemic.
And with the world weāve been living in, that makes sense.
But it doesnāt have to be that way.
I feel Venus has been the Holy Grail; the missing piece, that humanity have been searching for and starving for for over 3,600 years.
Reclaiming Venus is central to creating a New Earth.
ā Venus says there is no solution to any problem unless beauty & love are present.ā
-Caroline W Casey, astrologer
I feel itās time for a reclamation.
Itās personal.
And itās collective
And you donāt even have to be interested in astrology to have your very own personal Venusian Revolution; to cultivate an intimate and thriving relationship with the Goddess of Love.
There are so many ways to connect with and embody your Inner Venus and have Her work Her magic in your life.
We invite Her in through pleasure and ritual.
Here Iāll share some super simple ways to do exactly that.

Venus, Goddess of Love.
Why should we care?
When we think of the things Venus/Aphrodite represents; beauty, sensuality, pleasure, sex, passion, love and intimacy itās clear to see that these are themes most humans struggle with.
But it doesnāt have to be that way.
This face of the Goddess has been dissed, dismissed, trivialized, commercialized and commoditized more than any other.
I find that very intriguing.
What was once sacred, and central to thriving ancient civilizations has been cheapened and deemed taboo.
Why?
Maybe thereās something to explore here.
Could Venus be the missing piece?
An essential element to the New Earth weāre creating?
I think so.
āThere is no solution to anything unless Venus is involved- unless beauty and love are present.ā

Taoist Breast Massage is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create safety in your body, dial up your self-love and radiance, process your emotions, balance your hormones, and nourish your libido naturally.
That's a whole lotta bang for your buck!Breast Massage is one of the foundational practices in Taoist Sexual Yoga and an important gateway into becoming multi-orgasmic.
A must for any woman who wants to reclaim her sacred femininity.
Adding a regular breast massage to your routine cultivates the "love hormone" Oxytocin.
Yes, you can create your very own love chemistry! š¹
And when you, do you kick those stress hormones to the curb. š
We can hold a lot of stagnant, unprocessed emotional energy in the breasts. Leaving us wired, tired and in a chronic state of survival mode.
This not only affects our physical health, but also blocks our feminine flow, love, joy, orgasm and creative expression.The good news is that a consistent breast massage practice will get that stagnant chi moving and transmute it into passion, bliss & aliveness.
Giving you an embodied experience of your wild feminine heart. šš¼A simple, daily sensual breast massage will serve you massively.
This is something I make time for everyday, usually twice a day.
It will keep your energy flowing in a healthy way and allow your eros to fuel all the love and giving you pour into this world. š
No more giving from an empty cup love!
Sounds good?
Letās dive in!

There was a time in human history where beauty, pleasure, sexuality and all things Venus were held sacred.
And life was good.
When the Goddess of Love reigned supreme, systems of true partnership flourished and the power and virility of the Sacred Masculine was equally honored and celebrated.
These civilizations were rich in sensuality, sport, ceremony, art and trade.
Essential oils were used as medicine and in spiritual ritual.
A highly effective form of herbal birth control was traded for throughout the Mediterranean.
Historians and archeologists say there is no evidence of domination or violence in the remnants of the art they left behind.Sounds like a dream doesnāt it?
Although we canāt go back in time, we can find inspiration knowing that this once was a reality for some humans.
And for a significant chunk of time.
And pleasure was at the core of it.
Can we reclaim what once was sacred, has been deemed taboo and restore it to sacred again?
Is this Venusian Revolution for real?Absolutely!
And you can begin by simply enjoying the hell out of your morning coffee.

Happy Solstice!
The Solstice portals are always a powerful time for me.
A time for reflection and celebration.
A time to release and re-align.
This Solstice was super special for me as I had the privilege of guiding a group of amazing women in my community through a sensual breathwork journey.
It was such a beautiful reminder of just how potent sisterhood can be.
Maybe it feels so extra sweet to me because I didn't always feel safe in community with other women.
I've heard from so many women who have felt similarly.
I feel it's one of the most toxic aliments to come out of the patriarchy.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
If the sisterhood wound is a such a common affliction.
What's the remedy?
Women joining together to celebrate the radiance, power and magic of their unique expression of the sacred feminine.

When we breathe like the ocean, we remember.
Breath is one of the most powerful tools we can use to heal and transform our minds and bodies.
I know you've heard that millions of times.
And it's true.
Maybe you've experienced this yourself.
There are so many different techniques of breathwork that can produce so many different kinds of results.
And I think all of that is great.
But I was craving something more... Venusian.
After exploring many different styles of breathwork, I found that something was missing for me. I wanted more juice, more pleasure, more sensuality, more flow.
What I was looking for was a way of working with breath that was steeped in the feminine principles of gently opening the body and receiving the nourishment and pleasure of the breath.
I wasn't finding it.
So I created it:)
In this episode I go into the specifics of what that all looks like in my world.

We all know how important sleep is.
And there are times when it's just not happening.
I've been hearing from many women in my world that sleep issues are on the rise.
With all that's going on astrologically and in the world at large, that makes sense.
We're all going through massive shifts on many levels, so it's not surprising that we find ourselves up in the middle of the night more often these days.
I've been having my own sleep challenges as well.
I thought I'd share some of things that have been really helping me navigate those sleepless nights.
In this episode I share some sensual tips and resources to soothe your feminine soul and a guided sensual breathwork journey that your Inner Venus will love.

What does it mean to be multi-orgasmic?
From my perspective this is a wellness conversation.
Multi-orgasmic is a term that stems from the Taoist Sexual Yoga practices where the healthy flow of sexual energy is considered to be the foundation of mental and physical wellbeing.
And while sex, solo or partnered, can be a wonderful part of that, there's so much more.
Being multi-orgasmic is not an event or a goal to achieve but the ability to tap into an innate essence of vitality that comes from a lifestyle of embodied pleasure and sensuality.
Can tapping into this energy lead to multiple climatic orgasmic experiences?
Absolutely.
And that's amazing.
But it's so much more than that.
A great place to begin the multi-orgasmic conversation is to reframe how we view orgasm.
It's not just about a climatic release of energy, it's about the infinite source of where that energy comes from.
Orgasm can be like a single event; a wave crashing on the beach (which is a beautiful thing).
And it can also be like accessing the infinite ocean; the sustainable source of that wave.

How do we know when we're cut off from our source energy?
It's so important to know our red flags.
And to have a plan for when they show up.
We all know that feeling of feeling how we don't want to feel.
Those moments are inevitable.
And valuable.
When we experience what we don't want we have a great opportunity to fine tune our desires and to get into alignment with who we know we are and how we want to feel.
Knowing when we're cut off from our source, catching it and having tools to turn it around can serve us well here.
In this episode I share some of my recurrent red flags that let me know I'm cut off from my feminine flow.
And 5 simple tips that help me get my groove back.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there!
What is the āfeminineā way and why pleasure mattersHow inner Child and Inner Teenager wounds show up in our livesTools to begin this healing journey
I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
I'm all about celebrating the mamas! Heck, I'm one myself.
Yes to that and...I thought this would be a good time to dive into the topic of
re-parenting ourselves.
Something that comes up for every woman I've met (me too) on the feminine embodiment journey is the awareness at some point that some Inner Child work is essential.
That makes sense doesn't it?
In order to truly embody our sensuality and expand our pleasure we need to get really good at creating safety for ourselves.
The kind of consistent safety that emanates from within.
We've all had experiences where we did not feel safe or that our needs were not important/did not get met. These experiences, unless processed will creep up when we least expect them to and block us from experiencing more pleasure and deeper intimacy.
The good news is that deep shifts around this can happen by cultivating an unconditionally loving, trusting and consistent relationship with our Inner Child.
This is also true of our Inner Teenager.

Have you heard of Vaginal Weightlifting?
Yes, youāve got it right, weāre talking about lifting weights with your vagina.
If that sounds bizarre, I get it.
When I first heard about this practice I thought so too.
And yet, I was intrigued.
Now itās a regular part of my self care routine.
Vaginal Weightlifting or Yoni Weightlifting is a simple but advanced Jade Egg practice that can provide amazing results in a short amount of time.
But there are certain things you need to know in order to do it safely and effectively.

What does it mean to truly trust ourselves?
It's a big question isn't it?
And one that I feel deserves more attention than it gets.
Our level of self trust has an enormous impact on how we feel on the daily.
Mind, body and spirit.
It influences how fully we show up in every area of our lives.
When we're not trusting ourselves (and we all experience that from time to time) it's hard to feel safe in the world. This of course blocks our ability to express our true essence, tap into our unique creative spark and give our gifts with joy.
Chronic self doubt can feel like we're always walking on shaky ground.
It can rock our sense of security and belonging and sometimes keep us in a perpetual state of indecision and limbo.
But we can flip that script when we consciously build self trust.
I see self trust as a practice of cultivating a dynamic relationship with the truth of our essence and the wisdom of our bodies.
A practice of honoring our emotions, embodying our desires and aligning and fortifying with pleasure.
A practice of connecting with and rooting into our unique expression of the sacred feminine.
When we trust ourselves the feminine way, we're in alignment.
We're on our path.
And that's a beautiful thing.Want more?
