I'm Eva, and I'm here to make your sex life sing!
love is a beautiful aspect of being alive.
I’m a sexual revolutionary, relentlessly curious intellectual, and wild muse on a mission to make sex a spiritual practice.
I was born with a fascination about how we express love. I’ve been a sex educator, psychotherapist, activist, and academic for 20 years. (If you’re interested, you can see my Professional CV at the bottom of this page). But although I come from an academic background, my true calling arrived through a personal challenge.
Early in life, I met my first soulmate and we married. We had an incredible relationship, but after nearly a decade together, I lost my libido. Gone. And I couldn’t figure out how to get it back. I tried supplements, hypnosis, and a small fortune on therapy, trying to find out what was wrong with me.
I felt broken and blamed myself. My partner felt frustrated and unfulfilled. I wondered….
“Why don’t I enjoy intimacy? Is this all there is to sex?”
Even though I was a apsychotherapist, I didn't understand my own erotic psyche, and how libido is inextricably woven with the nervous system, hormones and trauma. Unbelievably, they don't teach you this in grad school!
We unfortunately divorced, because we couldn’t recover our intimacy with the tools we had at the time. It was beyond devastating, but it set me on my mission to understand the nature of erotic desire.
I suddenly found myself single, and re-entering the dating world was HARD after being partnered for so long. My heart was broken again and again because I had NO idea how to navigate the morass of modern sex and love.
I don't want you to suffer the way I did! There is a technology to sex and love that every person shoud know. This is what I bring you now....
What Creates Desire?
Why do we feel turned on by some people but not others? And how do we keep passion alive in a long term relationship?
"I was aching for real intimacy, but I didn't know how to let love in."
One day, everything changed when a friend invited me to a sexual tantra class. Electricity raced through my body and I wept with joy – I’d found my true spiritual path. I began to study sacred sexuality, and I immersed myself in tantra, Taoist practices, and many other philosophies that marry the mind, body and soul in sexuality. I discovered that all along…
…the missing ingredient from my sex life had been a sense of the sacred.
Tantra, along with progressive sex education, made me wonder..."why didn't anyone teach me this before!? Everyone should know this!"
I awakened to the holiness of my body and learned to harness sexual energy as a source of power.
I learned the necessity of pleasure as healing medicine, and that safety has EVERYTHING to do with sex drive.
I woke up to the reality that I have the power to know - and to ask - for what I want, that I deserve deep love and intimacy, and that first and foremost…
"WE HAVE TO LOVE OURSELVES IN THE WAY WE LONG TO BE LOVED."
It’s been 12 years since that day I walked into a tantra class, and what I offer you now is the culmination of 20+ years of professional training, with the lessons of my spiritual journey. I teach what I WISH I had known all along. Through my educational programs, I help people claim sexual wholeness, power, and pleasure.
I’m told I give good permission.
And even if we never work together, I want you to know – everything you seek is already inside you.
