Have you been experiencing…

  • Wanting to deepen your connection with your body and expand your pleasure and orgasmic potential

  • Being curious about Tantra and don’t know where to start

  • Feeling constantly tired, anxious, tense, and unable to receive

  • Experiencing difficulties with (or being unable to) orgasm, both externally and/or internally.

  • Feeling pain or discomfort during penetration

  • Desiring to experience more emotional connection with your partner.

  • Struggling to communicate your desires and needs both in intimacy and in other areas of your life

  • Not being able to fully relax during lovemaking, remaining in your head and caught up in concerns (about how you look, whether you are pleasing your partner, appearing “too much” or not enough, etc.)

  • Experiencing shame, guilt, closeness, or fear of intimacy

  • Wanting to feel more present, confident, sensual, and connected during lovemaking

  • Experiencing numbness or limited sensation in your body and yoni

  • Finding it difficult to know what you like or need sexually

  • Feeling blocked, disconnected, or closed off from your sexuality as a result of past trauma

  • Noticing a low libido or a loss of interest and pleasure in life

  • Feeling unable to stop using porn

  • Experiencing anxiety, low mood, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and the world

  • Having constant episodes of UTIs, thrush, or even issues like endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, fibroids, etc.

  • Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or emotionally numb

If you resonate with some (or many) of these experiences, know that you are not alone. These challenges are not a reflection of who you are or ‘what is wrong with you.’ They are a natural response to the social, cultural, religious, and familial environments women navigate. Unfortunately, these struggles are deeply common.

What follows is a deeper exploration of where these patterns originate, the underlying roots that have shaped women’s experience, and also the power offered by this work to create a new paradigm. Understanding these foundations can bring clarity, compassion for yourself, and empowerment towards the new chapters of your life.

This exploration is also an invitation. An invitation to recognise that life can feel deliciously different when you choose to reclaim your body, your pleasure, and your authentic truth, stepping into a way of living rooted in empowerment, confidence, and freedom.

Women are miraculous, magical beings. Every female body holds an inherent, natural wisdom that is extremely powerful. Natural creators, magnetic, cyclic, intuitive, mysterious, and profound.

Conscious Sexuality Coaching, Tantric Bodywork & Sexual Healing

The Most Common Roots of Disconnection:

Conditioning, Culture & Trauma

From the very beginning, women have been shaped by unspoken rules, taught to follow, to please, to mold themselves into what's acceptable. To serve others first, including during sex. To meet ever-changing beauty standards in order to be chosen. And to keep their sensuality and sexuality hidden, framed by religion, culture, and family as dangerous, shameful, wrong, or sinful.

The consequences run deep. Most women don't enjoy their bodies. Instead, they judge them, criticise them, and wish they were different. Pleasure becomes inaccessible, buried beneath shame, mental judgment, and guilt. Many can't even identify what they truly like, having spent a lifetime prioritising everyone else. All while quietly following dogmas that hurt them, even when something deep inside screams to be seen.

On top of this, society has asked women to become more like men. To perform, achieve, and compete. The cultural ideal of "liberation" has paradoxically pushed women to adopt masculine traits rather than reach equality through honouring what it truly means to be feminine. In this world, emotionality, intuition, receptiveness, and softness are diminished and ridiculed. The wisdom that lives inside a woman's body is disregarded, suppressed, and judged. And in its place, the relentless pressure to do more, be more, and achieve more speaks loud.

The body keeps the score. Reproductive health challenges, such as endometriosis, fibroids, UTIs, infertility, and severe menstrual pain, often mirror this deep disconnection from the feminine, from the water element. Burnout is rampant. The capacity to receive, to soften, to connect with genuine polarity in a relationship is immensely impacted. Mental issues like depression, anxiety, and stress became the new epidemy.

And beneath all of this lies trauma. Almost universal for women, whether from personal experience or carried through ancestral and collective imprints. Trauma creates fear, numbness, reactivity, and subconscious patterns that quietly govern life. Trauma lives in the body, shaping the ability to feel safe, to feel, to open, and to connect deeply, both with oneself and with a partner.

Until these layers are met with compassion, presence, and ultimately love, they will continue to shape every aspect of your life, sexuality, and relationships.

A Vulnerable Sharing…

I share this work from a place of deep personal understanding and embodiment, because I have lived every one of the above patterns myself.

I grew up in a repressive, controlling family environment shaped by rigid rules, religious dogmas, and neglect. As a Brazilian woman, I absorbed relentless pressure around beauty and appearance, quietly learning that my value lay in being chosen and being successful. I spent years chasing external validation through achievement and perfection, while remaining deeply disconnected from my body, my femininity, and my capacity for genuine pleasure and real intimacy.

This eventually led me through four burnouts and chronic illness, including over 140 UTI infections and polycystic ovaries. And beneath all of this, I carried trauma. Multiple layers of it. Since childhood. Including sexual trauma.

However, I have not only survived these experiences… I have learned through them, been shaped by them, and ultimately transcended them. Through Tantra, somatic work, and a deeply embodied path of inner alchemy, everything shifted: emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. The chronic conditions that had defined my life for decades transformed in ways that continue to feel miraculous.

And if you ask me, I wouldn't change a single thing. Every experience I've lived has been fundamental, beautiful, and sacred. While they do not define who I am, they have undoubtedly shaped me, shown me the way, and blessed me with the work I offer today.

I offer this sacred service with profound respect, deep presence, and devotion, honouring the precious exchange that lives at the heart of every session.

This is not just what I do, this is who I am.”

This work is an invitation to come home to yourself, your body, your pleasure, and your truth. What unfolds in these sessions goes far beyond the physical. It is a deeply layered, sacred journey of remembering, releasing, and reclaiming the power and magic of your divine essence.

  • Creating a safe, compassionate space where the deepest parts of yourself can be seen, expressed, and held without judgment

  • Without urgency or agendas, supporting you with recognising your conditionings and developing the consciousness to move through them with gratitude, releasing what no longer serves you and opening to a new experience of reality

  • Supporting access to your authentic self as a living medicine and exploring your unique inner goddess energy to co-create a life of meaning and power

  • Awakening a fuller embodiment of your femininity, gently releasing rigidity and control, and welcoming more flow, softness, joy, and receptivity

  • Supporting the journey of moving out of your mind and back into your body, cultivating deep awakened presence during lovemaking, self-pleasure, and life itself

  • Supporting with understanding and potential overcoming of physical challenges rooted in disconnection, rigidity, fear, and repression, including vaginismus, chronic UTIs, thrush, hormonal imbalances, libido issues, and more

  • Supporting you in connecting with your desires and developing the capacity to communicate what you want (and what you don't), with grace and presence

  • Nurturing greater confidence, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression

  • Supporting the reduction of stress and tension, working towards a more stable nervous system, with a growing capacity to be present, calm, and receptive rather than over-activated or numb

  • Through cultivating a deeper love, honour, and respect for yourself, this will naturally and unavoidably reflect in your relationships and every experience you co-create in your life. You do not attract what you want; you attract what you are

  • Supporting the remembering of the truth of what you are: a miraculous, naturally sensual, beautiful, powerful being!

The Chrysalis Approach

True and lasting change arises from holistic approaches, encompassing all aspects of self: physical, energetic, mental, and emotional. Here, you are invited into a genuine, nurturing conversation space, where you can be seen, heard, and held without judgment.

This journey supports you to understand and integrate the patterns beneath your experiences, unlock the natural wisdom codes in your body, and awaken the Goddess archetype within you. This path is a beautiful and powerful journey back into the infinite wisdom that inhabits all female bodies.

Tantra is a path that understands all experiences of life as sacred and sees the body as a divine vessel that holds and supports our human experience in this lifetime.

Chrysalis is a space for presence and compassion, for permission and aliveness, for allowance and expression. Tantra is the path of embodying the wholeness of life, with all its nuances, flavours, sensations, experiences, learnings, and pleasures.

Here, there is nothing to perform, nothing to prove, and no standard to meet. All parts of yourself are welcome, including the ones that may never have had the opportunity to be seen before.

This is a place to listen to your inner truth, perhaps for the very first time. To reconnect with your body's innate wisdom, your desires, your wildness, your softness, your sexuality, and your innocence. A place to come home to yourself: fully, sensually, and without apology.

Every Session Is Unique, Tailored, and May Involve:

Each session is thoughtfully shaped around your individual needs, rhythms, and pace. There is no agenda, pressure, or rush. You will be held with deep presence, non-judgment, compassion, and care throughout.

This is a feminine, holistic, body-led approach that honours where you are and guides you toward where you want to be. While this is meaningful work that unfolds over time, each session is designed to be profound and significant in its own right.

Offerings For Women

This is an excellent way to start experiencing Tantra and opening up to your untapped sexual and life potential.

Tantric bodywork is a deeply intimate, full-body massage focused on presence, sensations, energy, and reconnection with your sensual & erotic inner landscape.

Through guided touch and breath, this bodywork supports elevated states of pleasure, safety to be present in your body, and the flow of orgasmic energy as a healing and empowering modality.

The intention is to move out of the mind (imagination, fantasies, expectations…) and drop into a fully embodied state of beingness, presence, arousal, and sensual aliveness. This is an invitation to experience pleasure purely through your BODY, through sensation… opening a gateway to a much greater orgasmic experience of self, learning how to contain and circulate more sexual energy (or kundalini) within, and beginning to access experiences far beyond mental-driven, genital-focused orgasms.

Sessions are conducted with loving presence, clear boundaries, and ongoing communication to ensure a safe and supportive experience.

This service is only offered in person.

A holistic & somatic approach to intimacy and self, fostering lasting change through grounded practices and tailored guidance.

This work supports you in exploring challenges around sex, love, personal evolution, and relationships, releasing limiting beliefs, healing trauma, and cultivating greater self-awareness, confidence, personal sovereignty, and embodied presence.

This psychotherapeutic approach uses Tantra as a possible path to emotional and affective fulfilment. It reorganises the connection between the body and mind, changing the quality of your relationship with yourself and others. Within this process, we will explore childhood patterns, the protective subconscious mechanisms installed in the past, and the wheels of pattern repetition cycles that need to be worked on.

This approach brings self-responsibility over your life and decisions, ultimately delivering freedom and the possibility of a more authentic and joyful existence.

This service can be offered in person or online.

This mentorship is a fully personalised and comprehensive offering, combining modalities such as holistic psychotherapy, tantric bodywork, breathwork, somatic practices, and energy-based work.

By working across the physical, emotional, psychological, and energetic layers, this process supports a holistic and coherent exploration of your challenges and aspirations. It goes beyond understanding, creating space for transformation through an embodied journey that gently moves through conditioning, mental patterns, and emotional disconnection. Through this work, you are supported in cultivating:

• A grounded sense of calm and stability
• Greater connection to your body
• A clearer relationship with your inner knowing and personal authority
• Deeper intimacy, connection, and polarity in relationships
• Master your sexuality & sexual energy
• A natural and confident presence

You are guided step by step with clarity and presence, as we explore your inner landscape and begin weaving new possibilities for your life.

This service can be offered in person or online, depending on each client.

Rita, from Chrysalis Tantra - Trauma-informed tantra practitioner supporting men and couples in Australia
Chrysalis Tantra - Self-Discovery Sacredness Pleasure

Honouring the Sacred Feminine

In Sanskrit, Yoni refers to the entire female system: the vagina, clitoris, perineum, uterus, and beyond. In Tantra, the Yoni is revered as a portal of the divine, the entry point into the mystery and infinite depths of the feminine.

This work carries a deep devotion to the feminine, honouring the profound need for pause, self-care, and genuine reconnection with the body.

Chrysalis is a space of safety, non-judgment, and devoted holding. The intention is to awaken your inner power through the sacred vessel that is your body, welcoming whatever arises, light and shadow alike. Through deep relaxation, conscious release, and devoted touch, you are invited to explore profound states of pleasure and inner connection, experiencing the sacred from within.

Rita, from Chrysalis Tantra - Sacred touch and tantric massage for emotional and energetic connection

Tantric Bodywork gently awakens the sensitivity of the Yoni and the whole body, opening new possibilities for pleasure, orgasm, and expansion. On an energetic level, the Yoni can hold emotions, memories, and imprints: personal, ancestral, and collective. When the body feels safe and deeply relaxed, these layers can naturally surface and be met with awareness and love. Being received with presence and compassion supports healing, integration, and a fuller embrace of all aspects of your being. 

It is important to understand that the goal of a Tantric Massage is not orgasm ( you will not be pushed towards this), but creating sexual energy (life-force energy), and circulating it up your chakras and around your whole body from a relaxed state. Although Tantric Massages can guide you to have longer and full-body orgasms, you are invited to come to this experience without any expectations, goals, or defined results. Bring along only your curiosity, an open heart, and your presence.

Chrysalis Tantra Leaf - Gold Coast

If it is the first time you are coming to see Rita, it is highly recommended to book a 3-hour session. This will allow for an approximately 50-minute conversation about Tantra and the body gateways that are used during the bodywork. During this conversation, you will share your intentions and boundaries with tranquillity and presence. Most importantly, some processes cannot be rushed, and the nervous system takes time to relax and switch to parasympathetic mode. Your boundaries and consent will always be discussed before and during the session.

What Other Women Are Saying…

“From I had an incredibly powerful healing experience with Rita during a Tantric Massage. The breakthroughs I experienced were profound, especially in my relationship with myself, my boundaries and how I connect with men. Since then, I have started dating again (it's been a while) and I'm attracting more aligned men with a behavior that I haven't experienced before. I feel seen, respected and desired for who I am as a soul. This has been truly life changing. 

From the very beginning, she created a safe and nurturing space, making me feel completely comfortable with her warm and professional presence. Before we started the massage, Rita asked thoughtful, insightful questions that helped me connect with myself and her intuitive approach allowed her to guide the session in exactly the way I needed.  

Rita’s professionalism and high standards are unmatched and her intuitive wisdom is truly a gift. She has an incredible ability to create a beautiful space for healing. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you are looking for a powerful and life changing experience. It was very important for me to feel safe as this was outside of my comfort zone and I felt beyond safe so thank you so much dear Rita!”

R.L.

“Rita, I just wanted to share with you that I literally had the best sex ever with my partner of 7 years. I know that it’s not about the actual sex, but for me it was the first time I truly felt confident to step into my feminine essence and feel safe in embracing my sensuality.

I wasn’t in my head, I found it easy to let go…… honestly something I found so very difficult.

Wanted to share with you because I knew this would be possible, but just had to feel safe in my own body/sensuality first. Thank you 🙏✨"

G.M.

“From the moment I entered the sanctuary and beautiful space created by Rita I felt honoured and supported.

The intuitive wisdom that was imparted was on point and truly valuable.

The bodywork session connecting me to the divine feminine was something I will treasure forever and hold close to my heart.

Rita is a very gifted spiritual leader bridging the path to our sacred feminine.

I am truly grateful for the experience and sharing. Much love and respect for your work.“

R.G.

“I had a Tantric Massage with Rita not really knowing what to expect whilst having an open mind for a healing that would help me deepen my connection to myself and open up to more self confidence.

Rita explained the entire process and helped me fully relax before the massage even began.

The transformation I’ve noticed that I wasn’t expecting in my life is how safe I now feel with women. I realised I’ve been living in a ‘sisterhood wound’ I’ve created friendships with women throughout my whole life that have been toxic. Since the massage I have created two new friendships that are so kind, expansive and caring. Also just feeling a sense of sisterhood out in the world rather that feeling we are enemies has been extremely healing for me. “

K.G.

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing three tantric massage sessions with the truly special therapist Rita. Each session was a unique journey of self-discovery, as I explored different sensations and heightened awareness of my mind and body. What stood out to me was how each session brought forth a new understanding of myself, influenced by my menstrual cycle, which made each experience entirely distinct. Rita’s approach to touch was both gentle and profound, allowing me to delve into realms of pleasure…"

L.F.

“I am Pelvic Health physiotherapist who is in constantly in tune with the powerful insights and vulnerability contained in the pelvic bowl from both a giver and receiver perspective. Rita's work is something I haven't experienced before. The integration of the tantric psychotherapy with the body work was very reassuring and brought a deeper level of meaning to the physical work. Rita is very nurturing and great professional. I felt heard and respected through each step of the session. I was left with a powerful and deep sense of self."

Renata

“I experienced the tantric massage with Rita and it was incredibly amazing. The session not only provided deep relaxation but also opened up channels of energy within me. Rita professionally guided me through the process, allowing me to release tension and connect with my inner self on a profound level. The massage was not just physically enjoyable but also spiritually enriching. It left me feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and more in tune with my body's energy flow. I highly recommend tantric massage for anyone seeking well-being and a deeper connection with themselves.”
