"Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world."  Ramana Maharshi

Welcome Friends,

Let us come together to witness the blessing of this body, this age, this moment. Visionary Mystical experiences are humanity's most direct contact with God/dess and our Creative Source. We are gifted with these senses through which we can experience the divine recreated in a thousand formless forms. I AM one with the Infinite I AM, as are you.

Here in the Temple of Bliss, I offer myself as a guide on the sacred journey we all share, allowing the mundane everyday world to dissolve, and opening to the molten inner core of being, creative life-force energy, divine essence and true "Self".  Let us dive into the unknown and find ourselves.

My intention is to assist you in awakening within the play of consciousness, to your divine magic, birthright & power, by calling in all your energy and soul parts to be here now embodied intentionally in this moment.

Together through practices, we facilitate soul-remembrance of the inner union love-dance of Shiva-Shakti, in the fullness of Holy Love.  We attune ourselves to the Light within, to the Guru Tattva,  "WAHE GURU" - the true teacher, always present. We repose in pure awareness.

Through Shivakti Tantra Yoga, we create strength, flexibility, presence, aliveness, devotion, internal intimacy and creative wonder.

"Awakening to Bliss" is our divine birthright and Tantra Yoga brings us home to the truth. Each one of us here in this physical embodiment, in this "Ray of the Play",  has been born of pulsating & radiant Para Devi energy, overflowing from the Fountains of Bliss. The entire Universe vibrates & shines with supreme creative divine essence.

I am a Tantrika, a Temple Priestess, a CMT, Shivakti Tantra Yoga Teacher and intuitive shamanic healer. I am very passionate about my spiritual and physical practices. I have spent a lifetime in devotion to truth.

I bring to bear fully my deep heart energy, with a clear intention to be in and of service to the divine essence nature in you.  I am honored to share the fruits of my experience while maintaining a fertile “beginner’s mind”,  as I am always looking for new ways to grow through my own experience in your reflection.

As your guide and teacher, I act as a muse and a vessel for truth to pour through. I aim to nurture and create a safe space for you to be your true self, to be met and mirrored, to surrender with the unfolding, the tender soul’s blossoming, where I offer my authentic self, my wisdom, my teachings, transmissions and my heart to you.

I have trained in Temple Healing Arts for the past thirty+ years. My studies range ~ spanning from Shamanism, Yoga, Bodywork, Healing, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Magick, Communication and Tantra.

Through fusing ancient arts, we unwind, transcend, remember and transform using ritual, meditation, pranayama, mudras, eye-gazing, kundalini activation, soul-language-vibrations, mantras, truth inquiry, yoga asanas, academic studies, shamanic journeying and more!

The Tantrik tradition chooses to enjoy the divine play. The Tantrik sees embodiment as a manifestation of the divine and ecstasy as a path to enlightenment.

I am awake in the play. Queen Love is merely a role - I have many names & many roles, what is yours?

"Namaste, I want to once again express my deepest gratitude for your guidance to a beautiful far away space of such spiritual enlightenment. You have indeed drawn upon the vast pallet of metaphysical consciousness from the ancient world to compose a beautiful new world ritual that magically unifies all elements of its diverse origins. Through your enlightened presence and creative improvisations at each sacred enactment, this beautiful ritual appears to evolve and lyrically transition through so many memorable experiential phases. You certainly have opened the door to a magical world beyond. I would be so deeply honored to be invited to explore further...." :RA

"Brand new to Tantra, I eagerly followed the directions. Words are nearly useless to describe the actual experience of deep inward gazing and awareness of breathing that felt more real than mere physical intimacy. Mantras that sent energy messages through my nervous system, chanting divine music that filled me, the room, and the cosmos... a hummingbird vibration awakened in the base of my spine that traversed its entire length up to my head, my mind melting into my body, while receiving transmissions of magical joy. But her words, chanted and spoken, awakened unknown feelings and connections culminated in a spontaneous release of emotional tears. I am a new devotee..." :Namaste, Max

I offer you my heart, my home, my land, my soul, my wisdom and my medicine.

My life is devoted to 'Living devotionally embodied as a masterpiece of truth, grit, grace and beauty' while creating a living legacy for others to do the same. - Queen Love, Shivakti Shaktiva

"Beauty is to recognize how full of Love you are. Sensuality is to let some of that Love shine through your body. Instead of waiting for beauty to show up at your doorstep, create so much beauty within you that it will inevitably overflow in all directions."
