Level 1 Foundations Training
Level 2 Advanced Training
+ All required case studies and integration practices

The Level 1 Foundations Training is not your usual type of bodywork training
This is an immersive and transformative program designed to initiate you into the Temple Art of Tantric Bodywork.
Whilst there will be teachings on sexual anatomy and ways of working with the physical, emotional and energetic bodies, including the nervous system...
You will not be taught sequences and moves to carbon copy from one body to the next.
You will be guided into your ESSENCE to transmit the power of this work uniquely.
To support you in developing your unique transmission, you will learn specific techniques for working with pleasure and moving energy through the body including (just to name a few):
● Pressure points for activating and clearing tantric meridians.
● Secret Devotional Bodywork™ techniques for honouring the body in its wholeness including Devotional Yoni & Lingam honouring.
● Somatic trauma informed tools for working safely with trauma.
● Bodywork techniques for deep nervous system recalibration and resourcing.
● Bodywork techniques to prepare the body vessel to contain and integrate liberated life force energy.
This training will be an opportunity to learn and/or refine your skills as bodyworker, healer and sacred sexuality practitioner.
As well as a space to unlearn patterns and conditioning that restrict the way your body moves and relates with life.
You will discover the art of connecting and moving with WHAT IS, moment by moment, breath by breath, no mind, heart to heart, sex to sex.
The training will teach you about the nurturing ability of touch as well as the glorious potential of tantric sexuality in general.
Utilise the fundamental skills of Devotional Tantric Bodywork® to enhance your personal relationships, or integrating what you learn into your own work as a healer, coach, or practitioner.
Completion of the Level 1 training is the first step on your way to Devotional Bodywork® Apprenticeship.
What is Devotional Tantric Bodywork?
Working with the ancient wisdom of the Temples, where healings, initiations and transformational experiences took place, we bring this deeply healing art-form to life through our unique transmissions of sacred intimacy.
Sex and sexuality become more than just physicality, bringing beauty, transcendental states of consciousness, devotion, and more soulful qualities to love - uncovering the secrets of deep intimacy and infinite pleasure.
Through this style of bodywork, deep healing occurs as the receiver learns to surrender into their natural expansive state of relaxation and pleasure, merging into universal oneness.
To hold sacred space for individuals and witness their transformation and healing is a life changing experience for both the practitioner and client.
Throughout this training you're invited to explore the depths of your eros, your connection to your aliveness, as well as orchestrate a safe space for others to explore theirs.
So much happens when we unravel the layers of conditioning and allow the truth and fullness of essence to be expressed.
This body-based therapy is suitable for those wanting to become conscious lovers and/or heal trauma or sexual dysfunction - such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, vaginismus, vulvodynia, and numbness.
It is equally suitable to those clients who want to connect to more pleasure in life, learn to expand the amount of pleasure in their body and learn about tantra.
Tantric Bodywork is renowned for its ability to remove sexual and energetic blockages from the body, eradicate common sexual dysfunctions, and access deep states of orgasm (without ejaculation) through sublimation of sexual energy.
Share the benefits of Devotional Tantric Touch and energy exchange to bring restorative, sacred healing to your partners and clients.
Trainee Testimonial
"The Devotional Tantric Bodywork® Practitioner Training was a beautifully magical and transformative training, held by an incredibly warm and specialised team on sacred lands.
Having attended some amazing tantra trainings previously, it was refreshing to experience the unique content and yin approach of Devotional Bodywork.
The transmission of devotional touch offered a deep purification process and elevation of sexual energy into higher states of consciousness. Yet the training was equally practical and grounded, celebrating our humanness and offering the safety and realness needed for group vulnerability and connection.
It was rare to experience a boutique container of under 10 people, which allowed for individualised support and feedback. The inclusion of post training support and integration, thorough preparation guides and the small thoughtful touches like gift bags made for such a powerful and whole experience where you walk away with a new tribe and fresh inspiration.
Thank you Devotional Bodywork team!" - Rachel
The LEVEL 1 Training
Over 5 nights and 6 immersive days you will be guided to discover the transformational power of eros as you journey deeply with your sexuality and initiate your Journey as an Apprentice Tantric Bodyworker.
Practitioners who go on to complete Level 2 training and assessments will qualify for full certification as a licensed Devotional Tantric Bodywork Practitioner® and be eligible for insurance with the IICT.
On this training you will develop and learn tools to support you in holding people safely through a journey of discovery of their own essence, inviting them to explore the purity and power of their sexual energy beyond ideas of conditioning which influence us to perform, or please.
Become a transmission of sacred sexuality and naturally inspire others to step into their sexual sovereignty and power.

Whether you're on a journey of sexual healing, shifting through shame and judgement, self discovery, or opening to the potentials of spirituality through sexuality...
The Level 1 Foundations Training is for you.
Working deeply with the soma we enter the subliminal space of the subconscious mind, where we access the roots of trauma, conditioning and energetic coping/ survival patterns which inhibit, suppress and cut us off from the power and aliveness of eros/ life force energy.
Devotional Tantric Bodywork® is a trauma informed method of working directly with the body and nervous system which allows the soma to unwind patterns and process stored information, through an embodied experience of safety, co-regulation and harmonising of energy through a sense of wholeness, inter-connectedness and spaciousness.
This training offers the opportunity to artfully work with the body to uncover hidden layers of contraction and wisdom, discover the truth of your sexuality and aliveness, as well as becoming a transmission for others to step into their erotic power though the training pathways of Devotional Tantric Bodywork®
If you are committed to nurturing the human spirit through devotion to the body and want to be a conduit for the sacredness of eros to be expressed and shared...

Meet your Facilitators
Stephanie - DBW Founder
I believe what the world needs more than anything right now, is people who are devoted to understanding the unique and intricate language of the body.
People who dare to sit in the vulnerability of silence, listening and communicating with their bodies, beyond that which words can describe.
People who are courageous enough to feel what it means to be a spirit alive in a human body.
I am awed by the transformations I’ve witnessed and how profoundly life changing Devotional Tantric Bodywork is, and I am passionate about seeing more safe, clear, and devotional practitioners offering this healing art-form in the community.
I wish for every man and woman to be connected to the purity and power of their essence, to vibrate as living embodiments of spirit in matter and beautiful expressions of erotic love.
It is with great honour and humility that I share the essence of Devotional Tantric Bodywork with those who choose to walk this path with the utmost integrity.
With 8 years of bodywork experience, backed by almost a decade of experience as a psychologist and a life devoted to the tantric path, I bring an authentic and down-to-earth transmission of this therapeutic modality in practice.
