Yoni Healing - Awakening Woman
Some women come certain their body is broken. Others sense there is more to their sexuality than they have ever experienced. Some want to claim their sexuality as their own. And some simply want to enjoy their own body.
Yoni massage is a deeply nourishing practice that honours your femininity. Through slow, conscious touch you may discover parts of yourself long forgotten, find healing, awaken to new possibility, or simply celebrate your body. Or all of these.
Exploring this page may feel like a big step, a leap of faith requiring trust and courage. You are so welcome here.
why do I call it yoni healing?
Yoni is the Sanskrit word for the female genitals, encompassing the vulva, vagina, cervix and womb. I first met this word in my personal exploration of tantric work, where I encountered deep honouring and a recognition of the power held within the female body.
why is yoni healing needed?
Many women know little about their own genitalia, have never seen themselves, or carry mixed feelings rooted in a lifetime of widely varying experiences. Cultural conditioning, shame around self-pleasure, early sexual experiences, unwanted touch, trauma, and even birth can shape our disconnection. Many dissociate from touch they don't truly desire, and too many lose sensual connection after childbirth, illness or menopause.
Yoni massage is a sacred honouring, one most women have never received. Its healing potential is immense, creating a foundation for deeper self-connection and intimacy with a partner.
Sexuality is our life force. Reconnecting with it brings profound benefits, enhancing aliveness, clarity, vibrancy, and love, far beyond the realm of sex.
Your first session
I believe it is imperative to lay a foundation of trust before we embark on yoni work. Many of us have overstepped our own boundaries or had them trespassed. Establishing safety within your nervous system is essential before stepping into this intimate work.
We begin with a conversation, exploring your history, desires and intentions. This is followed by a full body Lomi Lomi, an experience of touch that is fully focused on you, without routine or script, shaped entirely around your needs. Slow, conscious touch and the gentle holding of the breasts and vulva, not as stimulation but as integration, may be offered as a preparation for the yoni work.
Yoni work is deeply connected to boundaries, trust, time and presence. The Lomi Lomi begins to establish all of these.
The work we do together
I bring myself to this work as an elder, who has walked the path of healing before you, who has come from a place of perceived brokenness to finally know my Yoni for her beauty, mystery and gifts. I will walk with you, without agenda and without goal.
We will be communicating during these sessions. I ask permission, may describe what I am going to do or describe the landscape of your yoni. You will be able to practice your No and your Yes, and have the felt experience of being heard and respected.
Many women have never been allowed to go slowly. Never dared to say No. Never been able to simply feel. This is a space where all of that is possible.
Some women return to the Honouring work many times before they are ready to explore the internal landscape of the Yoni. And with each return something shifts. The inner capacity to receive grows. The edge of what feels possible moves: uncovering, opening, asking for what is needed, naming boundaries with increasing ease, allowing pleasure to arise, naming shame or other difficult feelings, allowing sounds. Whatever timing is right for you is exactly the right pace. I will serve you wherever you are.
The Honouring
Imagine a warm, safe and nurturing space where you are the centre of attention. A place where time slows and you are held in deep care and presence, an honouring of your female body.
This is a ritual of meeting your yoni afresh, learning her landscape, feeling her. It is external work only. We map the vulva together, connecting sensation with location, understanding your anatomy, both physical as well as your pleasure anatomy.
This work is calling the body back to wholeness with the heart wide open. It offers an integration of your sexual self with your whole self.

The Awakening
The Awakening includes all the Honouring work and progresses into the internal landscape of the vagina. We explore the vagina, G-spot, cervix and A-point together. In this mapping we connect sensation with location, learning what is numb, what is tender, what is alive, what holds pleasure.
Sensations may range from pleasure and arousal to pain and sadness. Arousal is welcome but not expected. All that arises is part of this journey.

Women leave these sessions surprised, delighted, relieved. Surprised that their body was never broken. Delighted that there is so much more to look forward to. Relieved that the stories they told themselves were not the end, but only a step on the path.

What Women Say
'I would highly recommend the Awakening experience. I am 40 and I feel I've accessed parts of myself never accessed before. It's such a heart opening experience to allow touch and sacred body work in such a safe sanctuary, I really felt able to connect more deeply with myself, my essence and my needs. The space is beautiful and I experienced a profound transformation in the way I relate to my body and my capacity for intimacy and pleasure. I feel called to regular sessions as it is a life changing way to nurture yourself, and I will return, however even one session has gifted me more connection and understanding of my yoni than 40 years of life experience.'
Anon, East Sussex
'Anja took a genuine interest in me, my life and where I hoped to find myself at the end of my Yoni journey. She instils calm, in a safe, warm and nurturing environment. I felt enveloped in love. It was deeply personal, relaxing and sensual massage which was only about ME, allowing me to remember who I am. Anja allowed me to let go of all inhibitions and feel totally free with her. A true Awakening and only the beginning for me, of a long and pleasurable life journey with this truly gifted woman.'
Anon, Sussex
'The yoni massage made me feel embodied and stronger in myself. The safety I feel with Anja enables my nervous system to calm and give me a break so that I can heal. Anja helped me to start the process of waking up to my yoni and I feel hopeful that I'm on the right path to experience more pleasure.'
Anon, London
'The yoni massage has helped me to understand myself and my body at a much deeper and more meaningful level and to love myself and my body much more. I feel more confident, more woman, more sensual, more connected to my body and to my whole self. I respect and make others respect my boundaries more. I find it easier to understand and express what I want and desire. The work is helping me to slow down, to explore my voice and to use it more, to be playful. I simply feel freer and empowered. I can do and be the woman I want to be without limitation.'
G.M, East Sussex
'I have recently begun women's work in the Lomi Lomi massage with Anja and have been amazed at the deep healing that is occurring through this process. Anja creates a beautiful safe and sacred space. Her gentle, warm and nurturing presence as well as her skills working with the body encourage my body to open and release held tensions and past trauma. In particular her touch and her instinctive sense to move my body into certain positions has allowed me to access and release a past sexual trauma which psychotherapy could not. The loving and respectful touch she uses within the yoni massage has brought about healing and a deeper respect for my own femininity and womanhood. Of course it is unconventional and beyond the normal boundaries in our society to be straight and have another woman touch intimate parts of our bodies, but Anja handles this with extreme skill keeping the focus very present, and involves me as an active participant of the process by asking regularly for feedback about what is arising. This sensitive approach builds trust and means that healing can occur. I would highly recommend her.'
V.J, Tunbridge Wells
'I feel more in touch within myself, I feel more relaxed in expressing my desires to my partner, but also to myself. My yoni massage has brought me even closer to my partner, reminding us that time is not short, it is ours to manage together at a much slower pace and this has led to greater fulfilment.'
Anon, West Sussex
'Both Anja and the awesome, transformative work that she does have had a big impact in my life. She lovingly massaged and supported me and my baby throughout pregnancy and post-partum, taking me into deeply connected spaces that nurtured me beyond words. And now with her woman's work I can enter into what feels to me a very safe and sacred space and shift deep-seated blocks that have kept me from my full expression as a woman. So I have a lot to thank Anja for and would highly recommend her work to anyone wishing to claim more of their sovereignty and release what no longer serves them.'
R.K, Brighton
'My Yoni healing experience with Anja was surprising, expanding and enlightening. I didn't know what to expect beforehand but my previous work with Anja had built trust and so I felt calm and able to receive when I entered the session. This allowed me to be curious and interested to meet my Yoni. During the session I experienced feelings and sensations which became apparent were from giving birth and from breastfeeding. These places we were able to unravel together and I came away much more in tune with this area of my body and more connected. I now realise this part of me is so valuable and resourceful in my human journey. I now have the tools and understanding to continue further.'
L.W, East Sussex
'Meeting my yoni. There are 8000 nerve endings in the tip of the clitoris alone. It is the only known body part that has the sole purpose of pleasure. Inside my vagina there is an A spot as well as a G spot. Working with Anja has allowed me to get to know my own body, this one I carry around with me every day. I had no idea me and my yoni were such strangers. I also can't believe that I waited 42 years to get to know this wonderful part of my body. After my first three hour session with Anja I vowed to her that I would send my daughter to her to get the chance to map out her own body and all the amazing things it can do before she starts to explore it with someone else. I wish that every woman and girl had a chance to do this, I also know it's never too late. Getting to know my body better, to understand that my sensuality is something internal not externally validated has made me feel more confident every day, not just in my sex life. I have shaken off any feelings of shame, I take care of myself in a way I hadn't done before, I appreciate my body more and therefore I look after it. Every woman should have the chance to meet their yoni.'
Anna, 42, Kent
