🎁 FREE MASTERCLASS: The 8 Layers of the Sexual Shadow
April 16


Dark, taboo, and even violent sexual fantasies are way more common than people admit—and no, they don’t make you a monster. In this episode, I dive into the psychological, symbolic, and energetic reasons behind these fantasies and how they relate to your personal shadow, trauma, and even your spiritual path.

As a sexual shadow work coach (and former pro dominatrix), I’ve seen it all. Whether your fantasies scare you, confuse you, or just feel like your only way to get off—this video will help you understand what’s really going on in the psyche beneath the surface.

⚡We’ll talk about:

Why taboo = turn-on
Fantasies rooted in trauma (and how to work with them)
The symbolic/archetypal nature of fantasy
When psychic downloads show up as sexual visions
The difference between kink and abuse
How to safely explore your erotic shadow without shame
This is NOT your average sex-ed conversation. It’s raw, real, and shadowy AF. If you’re doing inner work around sexuality, kink, or trauma—this is a must-watch.

✨ Let’s smash sexual shame and reclaim our erotic truth.
