There are many different definitions of Tantra. In North America, we mostly hear about Sacred Sexuality and Neo-Tantra. Both of these modalities can be filled with quite beautiful conscious sexuality practices but usually have little to do with actual Tantra.

Tantra originated thousands of years ago in India. I practice and teach a form of Tibetan Buddhist Tantra that originated about 2600 hundred years ago with Shakyamuni Buddha and then became prevalent in Tibet in about the 8th century.

This is called lineage-based Tantra and these teachings have been passed down for centuries. They are a mixture of sexual and non-sexual practices that are used in a holistic manner to bring healing to all areas of our lives, not just our sexuality. Specifically, I am part of the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage. 

I am a certified Authentic Tantra® practitioner through the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education and an ACS certified Sexologist. Authentic Tantra® is the only government-accredited Tantra school in the world.

Authentic Tantra® is a powerful tool for healing and for expanding your and/or your partner's pleasure. I am glad to say that as a practitioner and graduate of the Authentic Tantra Institute I am well trained. I get recertified yearly, use trauma-informed practices, and work with a Code of Ethics.
