Hello! I’m Anya, a Trauma-Informed Embodiment & Pleasure Coach, intuitive to your needs and your unique journey. I weave in the many practices I’ve learnt over the last 10 years from Tao Tantric Arts, Somatic Healing, Nervous System Regulation & Attunement, Breathwork, Yoga, Sound Healing, Ceremony, Priestesshood and much more from my journey of embodiment, expression, sexuality, connection, deep connection to earth & spirit.
I guide women who feel disconnected from themselves, their body, their pleasure, their zest for life. Women who feel the longing to feel themselves, who they truly are again, yet aren’t sure how to fully access it.
I am devoted to this work because I lived the disconnection.
I lived the numbness, the shutdown, the loneliness, the emptiness, the overwhelm, the dissociation, the “I am not enough” whilst also “I’m too much”, the “What am i truly feeling? What am i needing?” Then after a powerful awakening, suddenly cracked open, my question was “How do i feel all of this and stay embodied?!”
And I know — without a shred of doubt — that: Every woman can awaken her aliveness. Every woman can return to her pleasure. Every woman can reconnect to her body. Every woman can rise in her feminine power.
But the path comes not from forcing or performing. It begins with feeling what is truly there It begins with softening, surrendering to what our body is trying to tell us. It begins with finding where the safety, however slight at first, is in our body. Allowing space for your Nervous System to breathe, to feel. It begins with returning to home within yourself.
Today, my work blends: Trauma-informed nervous system regulation Somatic + energetic healing Shakti/Kundalini activation Tantra & sacred sexuality Emotional capacity & embodiment Pleasure awakening through safety & subtlety
My approach is soft, grounded, slow, and deeply attuned. It is a soft guidance at the pace your nervous system is ready for, and to discover your inner teacher that knows what you need.
My role is not to give you power. It is to help you remember that it was always yours.
This is nervous system healing. This is sacred feminine awakening. This is a return to the body. And so returning to pleasure. Returning to full aliveness. A return to You.
If you are here, reading this… There is a reason. Some part of you is remembering. Some part of you is ready to soften, open, return. Some part of you is whispering: I want to feel myself again.
Welcome, beautiful one.
You’re not alone.

More of My Story
For most of my childhood and early adulthood, from seven years old onward, I lived in a body that felt shut down. Numb.
Emotionally disconnected from life, from people, from myself. With unrecognised Autism and ADHD, and emotional needs that went unseen and unmet, I lived in chronic shutdown.
I internalised my entire life experience. I didn’t know the language for my emotions — most of the time, I didn’t even know what I was feeling.
So I became the girl who said, “I’m fine,” - because it was easier than saying the truth “I don’t know what I’m feeling” or “I’m not okay but I don’t know what I need”
When I heard people speak about “being an empath,” I wondered, Why don’t I feel much? What’s wrong with me? Looking back, now i can understand: My nervous system had learned that sending signals didn’t matter — no one recognised them. So it stopped trying.
That dull, desolate sense of existence became my normal. I assumed I simply had a natural tendency toward depression — and I carried shame about that, especially in a world that, at the time, didn’t speak openly about mental health.
The more insecure I felt, the more i would mask - terrified that someone would see the truth under it that i wasn’t. There was a moment of abandonment in my early years that marked me deeply.
A school counsellor suggested I put the painful emotions into a box — to open only on “special occasions.”
I thought I had discovered a secret solution: If I put all uncomfortable emotions into this imaginary box… why would I ever open it at all? So I didn’t open the box. And for nearly 2 decades every difficult emotion went inside that box — hidden, locked, suppressed. For nearly 2 decades…
By my early twenties, I had created what looked like the perfect life: a brilliant graduate job, amazing colleagues, financial security, a lively social life, a stable home. And yet, walking through the vibrant streets of Covent Garden one evening, I felt a deep emptiness in my chest. Void.
How can I have all this in my life… and still feel so empty? I realised that the life I had been striving for — career, money, achievements — was never going to fill the void inside me.
I went travelling on a gap year, which turned into 3 years, on what on the surface i thought was to “see the world” was actually a search for myself, for who i was and where i belonged, which I’d questioned since a child.
I eventually found that sense of home in a community in Wales. For the first time, my nervous system exhaled. Slowly, gently, I began to unravel.
Then on a Pilgramage in Ireland, in a ruined cathedral, something cracked open in me — suddenly, fiercely, beautifully. It was like a lifetime of numbness dissolved in an instant. I felt everything. All emotions at once. All realms at once.
It felt like a week-long psychedelic initiation without any plant medicine — visions, energies, past-life threads, ancestral insight.
But returning to daily life after such a sudden rupture… is its own kind of initiation.
For a year, I cried every day. I cried from gratitude — finally able to feel the beauty of life. And I cried from grief — for the decades I hadn’t. And I cried because the sheer intensity of feeling left me wondering, How do I live with all of this?
My nervous system oscillated wildly between being in body and total overwhelm. I would feel everything — then dissociate.
My system had learnt this response when I was 17, a physical assault whereby my nervous system could only result to witnessing the terror from above my body.
Years later, I found i could I dissociate into bliss, into spiritual realms, into the faerie world — a place where sensitivity felt safe and where I longed to stay away from the difficulty of human relating and physical stimulus.
But while my consciousness floated, my body was left unprotected — energetically vulnerable to entity possession. I sought guidance from Shamanic Healers who showed me how to protect my energy field, but still I didn’t understand the impact that disassociation had on my nervous system and thought as long as i energetically protected myself, I could enjoy this “blissful spiritual experience”.
Slowly, I began to realise that even though the dissociated bliss felt spiritual and beautiful, I wasn’t embodied. I had to learn how to stay in my body again, rewiring an entire lifetime of shutdown, dissociation, hyper-sensitivity, and survival state mechanisms.
The simplest things would overwhelm me: a voice too loud, a car driving past, someone sitting too close, a fabric brushing my skin. I would lose sensation. Go numb. Spin into overthinking. Float away.
So I began the profound work of learning my nervous system — understanding its danger or safety cues, its fears, its patterns. Learning my body’s language. And as I stopped resisting sensations and emotions… I began to soften into them. Feeling became a doorway — not a threat.
Alongside this, I found Tantra, sacred sexuality, and breathwork — and later, orgasmic breathwork. These teachings showed me that every emotion — grief, anger, shame, joy — is energy. Life force. Shakti.
And when allowed to flow, even the painful emotions can transmute into pleasure.
My river of life, once dammed and stagnant, began to move again. Sometimes it still meets rocks — I am a messy, feeling, human — but then again my system remembers, and allows.
The more I allow myself to feel, the more aliveness fills my body — and the more pleasure becomes available in every moment.
This is why I am devoted to this work.
Because I know what it is like to live disconnected from yourself, from your body, from your pleasure, from your emotions.
And I know what becomes possible when the river begins to flow again. To pleasure through sensation. Through your real-time body’s experience.
This is the journey to Embodied Pleasure. To full aliveness. To sovereign feminine power.
