It took me one month after finishing my Tantra therapist course until I muster the courage to tell two of the most important people in my life that I am a Tantra therapist and I want to make a living as a sexual healer.
I needed first to face my fears about being judged, about what they would think, how they would feel. Will I embarrass them? Would they think I was brainwashed by a cult? Or that the lockdown made me lose my mind?
Would they worry for my safety? Imagining the worst, having clients who would attack and maybe even rape me?

I knew that having even one single patient without first telling them would be a lie. Me hiding my truth and postponing the healing. So I gathered all the courage I could find and I called them.
It was better than I thought. I believe there is nothing more healing gift we can give to somebody than loving them even when we do not understand their path.
And this was the answer I had from them:

“I do not know anything about Tantra and I do not understand why you choose it but if this is making you happy I am happy for you.”
