Women
I offer two main focus areas: tantric massage and somatic sex therapy. Whilst there is overlap between the two, tantric massage focuses more on expanding capacity for pleasure and tantric techniques, whereas somatic sex therapy supports difficulties with arousal, sexual dysfunction or emotional and relationship issues.
For an overview, please see the tantric massage and somatic sex therapy pages.
Tantric Massage for Women
The focus is on slowing down and gently awakening sensuality through a full-body treatment. The aim is to help sexual energy move and spread through the whole body. Sessions include a yoni massage, if desired.
Some difficulties also improve simply through deep relaxation and reconnecting with the body, which can be supported through tantric massage.
Somatic Sex Therapy for Women
Women can experience sexual difficulties for many reasons. These may arise from cultural conditioning, emotional blocks or past experiences around intimacy and sexuality.Many women carry pelvic tension linked to life events such as menstruation, childbirth, abortion, miscarriage or menopause.
Others hold pain related to unwanted touch or sexual violation, even if they are not consciously aware of it. For some, difficulties are simply linked to not being fully aroused or ready before intimacy begins.
In Western cultures, women are raised with mixed messages about sexuality: suppression on the one hand and sexual imagery everywhere on the other. Over time this can create shame, confusion or a sense of disconnection from the body’s natural capacity for pleasure.
As part of clothes off somatic sex therapy sessions, atherapeutic Yoni massagemay be offered when the client is ready. The yoni can hold deep layers of tension, emotion and memory. Gentle, conscious touch combined with breathwork can support release, integration and reconnection with pleasure.
Somatic sex therapy provides a safe, grounded and shame-free space to explore these experiences at your own pace. Together, we look at the underlying causes of any difficulties and support you in reconnecting with your body, pleasure and sexuality in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
Sessions can address:
- Lack of sexual desire
- Inability to feel pleasure
- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
- Anorgasmia, (difficulty reaching orgasm)
- Vaginismus
- Sexual shame
- Pelvic floor pain or dysfunction
- Recovery following sexual abuse
- Issues arising after childbirth
Somatic Sex Therapy is offered as either clothes on or clothes off. For the session structures and prices, please see the Somatic Sex Therapy page.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your relationship, please see the For Couples page.
Sessions are available in Teesside, London and online.
What Clients Say
“The tantric massage I had with Tatiana was incredibly powerful — one of the most profound and embodied experiences of my life. My body felt amazing afterwards, grounded and deeply alive for days. Tatiana held such a safe and compassionate space, and it felt as though something in me had opened or been reborn. The energy moving through my body was extraordinary and very healing. I’m truly grateful. I recommend working with her without hesitation” Rebecca Howgill, Social Worker, Reiki Healer and Theta Healing Practitioner
“Tatiana is not only highly skilled in bodywork, but also incredibly intuitive in the way she asks questions and deepens the work. She has supported me through many physical and emotional layers, not just through touch but also through her grounded facilitation when trauma arises. She is a gifted, compassionate and deeply caring practitioner. Working with her has been a truly life-transforming experience” Anon.
