ABOUT VIKTORIA
I believe you are not broken.
You are already whole — even if parts of you feel hidden, heavy, or disconnected. My work is about guiding you back to your own body’s wisdom, where intimacy (and into-me-see), love, and freedom naturally unfold.
My Story
For much of my life, I carried unspoken grief and disconnection. Outwardly, I looked accomplished and capable. Inwardly, I longed for safety, intimacy (and into-me-see), and a deeper sense of home in my own skin.
It was not until I discovered body-based practices, trauma-informed healing, and sacred intimacy work that I began to reclaim what had always been within me. Each step — from trembling through my first TRE session to embracing somatic de-armouring and conscious touch — pulled me closer to the truth: healing is not about fixing what’s broken but remembering who we really are.
This path became my calling. Today, I walk alongside others who are ready to step out of survival mode, disconnection, and numbness, and into a vibrant, embodied life.
Why I Do This Work
Because intimacy is more than slot A into slot B, it is the way we breathe, the way we trust, the way we meet life in our bodies.
I believe:
- Healing begins in the nervous system.
- Intimacy thrives when we feel safe in our own skin.
- Science and soul are not opposites — they are allies.
Every session I hold is rooted in compassion, presence, and evidence-based practice. My deepest joy is witnessing someone exhale into their body and finally feel: I am home.
My Approach
My work weaves together three strands:
- The Mystic✨ — guiding transformation through ritual, energy, and deep presence.
- The Lover 💖— creating a field of safety, embodiment, and connection.
- The Sage 🔥— grounding it all in trauma-informed science, somatic research, and practical tools.
This balance of science and soul means you are held both spiritually and practically — with structure, safety, and space for mystery.

"I really enjoyed getting to know you and I was impressed with your insights and observations. I find you very intuitive, forthright and understanding. I very much appreciate this. I feel the session was helpful and a good introduction to helping me get rid of emotional blocks and healing my trauma. It feels like the beginning of something new. I actually feel different in myself. It’s hard to explain but perhaps some stuff has already shifted."

Invitation
If my story resonates with you, know this: you don’t have to do it alone. Healing and intimacy are not abstract ideas — they are living experiences you can embody.
Let’s walk this path together.
