ONLINE AND IN PRACTICE
HOLISTIC INTIMACY AND EMBODIMENT COACHING
I'm an Holistic Intimacy Coach with further training as an ICF Accredited InnerLifeSkills Professional Coach and a Foundation Certified Enneagram 101 Coach. These two ICF Accredited Coaching Programs defines coaching as a partnership where coaches guide and facilitate, rather than advise, helping clients set clear goals, find their own solutions, and create action plans. It emphasizes empowering clients to discover their own insights, fostering accountability and lasting change. In order for coaching to have a lasting impact, coaches work holistically (mind, body, heart, and spirit).
I see women for who they are in their totality, and guide and support them to integrate so they can live life more embodied and confident. My approach is non-directive as I support and guide women to transform internal limitations (inner obstacles) and cultivate inner strength (inner wealth).
I am also an embodiment facilitator (trained in the Fundamentals of Embodied Facilitation, accredited by the Shakti Shiva Academy). Embodied facilitation is a holistic and somatic approach that integrates physical awareness, movement, and presence, to foster learning, healing and transformation, rather than relying solely on cognitive approaches or talk therapy.
I use techniques such as breathing, grounding, visualisation, conscious movement and sound practices to create embodied awareness which assist women to release blocks, become aware of their intuition and the body's inner wisdom. Embodied facilitation holds the core tenet of embodied living. It emphasises intuition, deep listening, vulnerability, emptiness and loving presence, and understands that every trigger and discomfort can be a guide.

“Intimacy is not something you achieve and then own. It’s a constant dance of being open, honest, and vulnerable.”
(Esther Perel)
My life experiences and my training equips and enables me to coach clients in the disciplines of:
Intimacy Coaching (personal and relationship development, deepening intimacy, communicating needs and desires with clarity, deconstructing the narratives around pleasure, awakening the body to sensations)
Somatic Coaching (embodied self-awareness, intuition, body's inner wisdom, presence)
Empowerment Coaching (boundaries, silencing the inner-critic, assertiveness, clear communication, awareness of cultural narratives)
Life Transition Coaching (integrate loss, gain clarity, heal unconscious patterns, develop inner peace, acceptance and resilience)
True intimacy begins when we show up fully — without masks, without agendas — and meet one another with curiosity and care.”
(Brené Brown)
FACILITATION
My coaching is enriched by my own life experience and embodiment practices. It is trauma- and neuroscience informed, and further grounded in philosophy, psychology, sexuality and spirituality. The Principles of the Sacred Feminine inform my work.
I firmly believe that the body holds the score to all that we have experienced. Trauma not only impacts the mind, but creates physical and physiological disruption that reshapes the brain and body. To embody holistic healing, we need to reconnect the mind and body through embodied practices rather than relying solely on talk therapy or medication (inspired by Bessel van der Kolk).
“The fundamental work of the Somatic Coach is to guide the person to feel and be with this animating force that makes them alive. This is life moving toward life.”
(Richard Strozzi-Heckler)
Three Core Principles of Embodied Facilitation
relational and emphatic listening
reading the 'body language' of the client
to create a unique safe space where vulnerability can be expressed, which is the gateway for cultivating intimacy, deeper connection and holistic transformation.
Benefits of Conscious Movementt
Reduced stress and nervous system regulation
Greater body awareness and self-trust
Emotional release and clarity without needing words
Increased creativity, vitality, and joy
A deeper sense of connection—to self and to others
“If you just set people in motion they will heal themselves.”
(Gabrielle Roth)
EMBODIED CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT
CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
I am a Conscious Movement Practitioner (combining the modalities of 5Rhythms, Bliss Dance and Biodanza in my sessions).
After my divorce, I stumbled upon this modality as a way to process and embody my emotions and feelings. I was so inspired by how moving my body consciously, helped me heal and transform, that I wanted to bring this practice into my coaching.
Conscious movement is a guided movement practice where you listen to your body, move freely, and let music lead you without choreography. It blends mindful awareness with compassion, intuitive movement, creating a safe space to explore sensation, emotion, and self-expression in the present moment.
During my Conscious Movement Creative Workshops I incorporate somatic practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, visualisation, and creative activities, to guide and support my clients.
"You are a Divine Dance."

“If you’re willing to pay attention to and dialogue with what’s happening inside of you, you’ll find that your body already knows the answers about how to live a full, present, connected, and healthy life.”
(Hillary L. McBride)
NEURO-SCIENCE-BASED EMBODIED LEARNING
GROUP COACHING WORKSHOPS, COURSES AND MASTERCLASSES
My life experiences and multidisciplinary knowledge gained over many years of teaching, inspired me to remain a lifelong learner, and to bring what I have learnt to my clients.
Complex concepts are translated into accessible language, helping you make sense of your lived experience without pathologising or over-intellectualising it. Through information, practical exercises, reflection prompts and experiential learning, you gain tips, tools, practices and rituals you can apply immediately in daily life.
My group coaching, eCourses, workshops and masterclasses are designed for those who want to understand as well as experience living more authentic and embodied.
Be a life-long learner by being informed and inspired!
INSPIRATIONAL SHARING
MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING
I love to inspire women to remember who they are, reclaim their worth and wholeness, and embody their true nature with confidence, free from shame, fear and guilt. Drawing from my own life story and midlife journey of growth and transformation, my talks create an informed, embodied and reverent space where feelings and lived experiences are welcomed. Topics include self-care, boundaries, sensuality, pleasure, healthy relationships and more.
TO PUT YOUR NAME ON THE WAITING LIST
RECONNECT AND RENEW
RETREATS
My small retreats for women and for couples are informative and experiential, grounded in neuroscience, psychology, sexuality and spirituality.
Set in beautiful, nature-based environments, my retreats offer a sacred pause from the demands of daily life and an invitation into deeper presence, intimacy, and conscious awareness.
Each retreat weaves together teaching, and embodied practices such as breathwork, conscious movement, journaling, creative activities, and silent nature walks.
Whether you join a women or a couples' retreat, the experience is designed to support embodied rest, cultivate intimacy and deepen connection, firstly with yourself.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
AROUND THE PASSION FLOWER WOMEN'S CIRCLES
My women’s circles are safe, inclusive and compassionate spaces where women are invited to slow down, share their stories, and be deeply witnessed, without fixing, judgment, or comparison.
These women's circles honor the power of women gathering to listen, support, and care for one another. As stories are spoken, shared, held with compassion, deep listening and witnessing, women remember their strength, reclaim their voice, and rediscover a sense of worth and belonging.
The Practice of Circles is not about fixing problems but it’s about bearing witness, being seen, and feeling supported on your own journey.
Benefits of the Practice of Circles...
Fosters a strong sense of connection and belonging
Encourages vulnerability and authentic self-expression
Creates space for emotional processing and insight
Builds collective energy that supports personal and group transformation
Enhances mindfulness, empathy, and community cohesion
“When we sit in a circle, we remember that we are all part of something larger than ourselves.” (Ruth King)
Clients' Testimonials
CATHY (55)
What I appreciated most was how clearly complex ideas were explained.
I’ve attended many workshops before, but this was the first time that my nervous system truly made sense to me. The science was accessible, practical, and validating. I left with language for what I’ve been experiencing for years and practical tools I could actually use.
DENISE (48)
The session on Self-Care helped me understand my nervous system and why I respond the way I do. I now feel more present, regulated, and compassionate with myself. It was educational, but also practical.
LINDA (62)
Milandre's masterclasses offer more than information. I gained a much clearer understanding of intimacy, boundaries, and pleasure and was empowered to express what I need and want with greater clarity. The online space Milandre created felt safe, respectful, and welcoming.
