Yoni Mapping Therapy
Yoni mapping therapy is a gentle and yet astonishingly powerful sexual healing modality for women. In this interactive presentation you will get a whole new appreciation for female pleasure. We’ll discuss not only the deeper networks of women’s pleasure anatomy, but also how they function and how to activate them. While I won’t be presenting an actual yoni mapping session (which requires a deep sense of being undisturbed and private), I will talk you through what a session looks like and share some of the magic that happens when – instead of feeling confused and disconnected – we get to piece the sexuality puzzle together and things suddenly make perfect sense. This workshop is open to both men and women – if you are a man you’re most likely going to hear things you’ve never learned anywhere else.
About Ylia: I’m a midwife of 20 years and came from teaching ecstatic birth to training as a yoni mapping therapist – which I’ve had the pleasure of doing for several years now. I love witnessing the shift in women when they realise there’s nothing “wrong” with themselves sexually – when they reconnect with their own pure sexual lifeforce herself…just whoa!"

Sound Alchemy
Potent sound waves from the divine flow through my being to invoke healing, awakening and activation for those who are ready to receive. I invite you to step forth on a journey through sound with me.
Sound frequencies drop us out of the thinking mind and into the magic of the present moment where you are invited to release what no longer serves and activate your own innate self healing powers. Now more than ever we search outside of ourselves for answers which can only be found by going inward. Be guided to look within by experience a coming home to yourself and to the purity of your heart.

My work is about (and what I’m pretty much about) is looking and searching introspectively, analysing, reflecting, personal growth and development, finding the nitty-gritty details that reveal so much, honouring the creative process, rawness of expression, and using creativity as a form of catharsis to promote mental health.
