Offerings for WomenWhy I choose to work with women on developing, sharing and experiencing their sensual and sexual nature: I Find I have great compassion, tenderness, kindness and ability to give healing, and nurturance as well as to surround women in warmth and tenderness. I resonate with women. I run strong on some "male" energy and am rather empowered in my own sexuality and have been told that carries over and inspires women to find the strength of their own passions. I am also highly "feminine" in my physical manifestation. I do not seek out women exclusively in my personal sexual life. Individual women do kindle feelings in me and I appreciate women deeply and enjoy their varied attractiveness. I value sensuality in both men and women. It's the personality in the person that draws me. Seeing a professional is sometimes a wonderful option for women who need nurturing touch without the restrictions of societies stereotype... Women are able to explore in this setting without upsetting the egos in their primary relationships. Women without a relationship are able to get their needs met safely, without resorting to one night stands, blind dates or beginning relationships which they are not ready to embark on. My Philosophy on Women and sexuality in our societyI believe that society, while it is changing, and has changed dramatically for women, still categorizes women's sexuality. Now, instead of the pressure to not be openly sexual, there is pressure to be highly sexual and achieve many many other things at the same time. This is often more than any human could do at one time, regardless of gender. Women feel tremendous pressure to be sexual in the way that people expect and want it to look, or what people have learned from watching sexuality in our media. Most women are more sexual and sensual than they realize, but that sexuality and sensuality doesn't look like something they've seen and they don't recognize it for what it is. I believe: Women NEED to be in touch with this part of themselves to be healthy. Women are much more sexual and sensual than they or people in their lives recognize. Yes, there are women who are NOT interested in sex - but almost always for most women, most of the time they would like to be more sexual/sensual if there were not obstacles in their way. I believe most women cut themselves off from their sexual and sensual nature, to varying degrees for most of their lives. So, Why do women cut off their sexuality?
Fear of the power of their own appetites, of losing themselves
Fear of damaging the ego of the men in their lives Fear of acting on fantasy that isn't congruent with their reality Fatigue Body image - they belief that they have to look a certain kind of "sexy" to experience their sexuality Not really knowing what they want, that it exists/ how to get there No one in their life at the moment to share it with Imbalance in their and their partner(s) desires and judgment that goes with that imbalance (i.e. frigid/whore complex) Finding it too much work to communicate their needs to their partner(s) Not getting their basic touch needs met first (tenderness, relief from stress/pain) Lack of physical exercise and good food to sustain them Stereotypes that say wives and mothers aren't sexual Their spouse is uncomfortable with their true sexuality Other problems in the relationship Financial or survival issues leading to the fight or flight response Medications and health concerns which diminish libido (antidepressants, certain birth control, many many others) Special themes for women
The sensual touch for women session - if touch were a food, it'd be dark chocolate and champagne. Rich and rare and decadent....
So, for men it's the make out session, for women, the cuddling and cradling session.... If you are needing to be petted, cuddled, cradled, pampered, hair petted, held.. This is the place to start...Start by getting comfy in a big fluffy robe, or nude if that's your way of relaxing... let me hold you, listen to you if you need to talk, and pamper you.
My woman's health session has been developed over time with training from my previous career in massage (breast massage and pelvic floor work), learning from my childbirth teachers training, tantra, energy work, the Tao of sex writings, sensual touch internships... and most importantly from my experience in a woman's body. Kind words of reflection on Ananda from soft soul amidst a awe inspiring journey: "I have been working with Ananda for a few months now. As a married woman, it was a difficult search to find a practitioner who felt safe and nurturing. Although heterosexual (and bi-curious), I felt it might be less frightening to start with a female practitioner. I made the correct choice by finding Ananda. She has been a wonderful intimacy coach. This started as a journey for me to find my own sensuality for the first time in my life. It's been a discovery of opening myself to new feelings and sensations in a safe and comfortable setting. Ananda is beautiful, knows how to make things fun, has a warm intimate touch, and she truly cares about each person she works with. She makes me feel sexy as hell every time I see her and I thoroughly enjoy everything she has to teach me. Whether I am laughing, crying tears, or crying out in pleasure- she is always there for me in just the right way. You will never forget her eyes or the way her voice purrs once you've been with her! Although my husband has chosen not to participate in our sessions, she always supportive of my home relationship. Her suggestions of things to try, books to read, and videos to watch continue to help us communicate better." |
