About Karuna

Allow me be your guide on a luxurious journey home to the blissful state of inner peace and pure pleasure. I believe Peace, Compassion and Joy is our birthright and the path of human evolution. Our bodies are designed for pleasure. When we are integrated with both brain and body, we are able to access these qualities and connect to the world around us with compassion, integrity and love.

Karuna ~ typically translates as “compassion” in English and is a concept used in the spiritual paths of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The word comes from the Sanskrit kara, meaning “to do” or “to make,” indicating an action-based form of compassion, rather than the pity or sadness associated with the English word. Karuna is the doing of something to transform suffering.

​Inspired by many great masters of Buddhism, Tantra and the Tao; as well as modern neuroscience and western psychology; My passion is the many paths of awakening conscious embodiment and expanding our capacity for LOVE!

My Story

I started my personal journey of empowerment with my love of Massage.  After studying at several different schools, I quickly found my way from traditional techniques to more transcendental modalities. I felt right at home engaging with all the chakras as I added Tantra to my personal yoga practice and started teaching it to others.  My understanding of the importance of healthy sexual relationships and the need for support grew as I continued expanding my education at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.  Most recently, I have developed an expanded and holistic approach to intimacy, studying and embodying the wisdom of the Hendricks Institute.  My life, my self-love, and my engagement with the world are filled with pleasure, ease, love, and connection.    Creating relationships free of blame and criticism and instead filled with appreciation, pleasure, and creativity is my passion and my gift to you, my fellow humans, my allies.

MY MISSION:

My mission is to be your guiding light into deeper connection with your body, your pleasure, and your true essence. Through the sacred teachings of Tantra, sexological bodywork, and heart-centered presence, I help people release shame, heal old patterns, and awaken to the vibrant, orgasmic aliveness that already lives within them. My work is a bridge between the physical and the spiritual—where touch becomes transformation, intimacy becomes empowerment, and every breath leads home to the self.

MY COMMITTMENT

My work is grounded in presence, respect, and integrity. I hold space for every person with deep compassion and an unwavering belief in the innate wisdom of the body. Each session is a sacred experience—tailored to your unique journey, honoring your boundaries, comfort, and pace.

I am committed to creating a space of safety and empowerment—where vulnerability is met with care, pleasure becomes healing, and transformation unfolds naturally. My role is not to “fix” you, but to guide you toward your own embodied truth—to help you remember what wholeness feels like, and to awaken the aliveness that’s already within you.

Through decades of practice and devotion to tantric healing, I bring a fusion of technical skill, intuitive connection, and authentic presence to every moment we share. My commitment is to meet you exactly where you are, and to walk beside you as you rediscover the limitless power, pleasure, and peace that lives inside your body.
