Reconnect with pleasure in a slower, safer, more loving way
Awakening Pleasure is an evolving signature journey for women and people with vulvas who want to feel more connected to their body, their boundaries, and their capacity for sensation and pleasure.
This page currently gives access to a 3-session recorded series – and will soon expand into a 6-session recorded journey. It is a self-paced online version of work I have also guided live in workshops, including at House of Play and soon as well at the Female Festival in Belgium.
It is a gentle, trauma-aware space to explore your body at your own pace.
Not through pressure.
Not through performance.
But through slowness, curiosity, consent, and deeper listening.
This may be for you if…
Pleasure feels distant, muted, numb, or hard to access
You notice tension, shutdown, guarding, or disconnection in your body
You want a softer, safer relationship with your vulva and pleasure
You feel unsure about boundaries, receiving, or what your body actually wants
You are curious about self-touch and embodied exploration, but want grounded guidance
You long to reconnect with your body from a more loving place
A guided pathway back to sensation, safety, and self-trust
This journey supports you in slowing down and meeting your body as it is.
Rather than chasing a result, the invitation is to build trust with your body, listen to sensation, notice your boundaries, and gently awaken what may have gone quiet through stress, shame, numbness, tension, or past experiences.
The recorded format allows you to move in privacy, revisit the practices whenever you need, and go at a pace that truly matches your nervous system.

Awakening Pleasure began as a live guided workshop series.
I have guided this work both online and in live spaces, including at House of Play and in the summer of 2026 at the Female Festival in Belgium. These recordings bring that same slow, embodied, trauma-aware approach into a format you can return to in your own home, in your own timing.
This is part of a bigger body of work that continues to grow.

You get access to the current 3-session recorded journey, including video, audio, which you can also download for home practice.
Current sessions in the foundation series

A practice of slowness, consent, and listening that supports safety, trust, and connection at the entrance of the body.3. Inner Mapping
A deeper inner exploration that helps you meet sensation, numbness, tenderness, and response with curiosity and care. -
Awakening Pleasure is evolving into a fuller 6-session journey.
More sessions will be added by end of the summer of 2026.By beginning with the current sessions, you enter this work now, and the journey can expand with you over time.
Once you have access, you keep access – including to the upcoming sessions as they are added.

This is not about pushing your body.
It is not about becoming “better” at pleasure.
And it is not about performing sexuality in a certain way.This work is about:
Building trust with your body
Learning to listen to yes, no, opening, hesitation, and sensation
Softening pressure and urgency
Reconnecting with pleasure through safety and slowness
Meeting numbness, frustration, grief, tenderness, or desire with compassion
You are always in choice.
You can pause, adapt, skip, or stop at any moment.
The aim is not intensity, but deeper connection.
Participant reflections
“To my big surprise, I experienced my first non-vibrator orgasm since my youth.”
“For the first time since my sexual harassment, I met other people (both Anke and other participants) who could relate to the issues I’m dealing with and with what could actually help me help myself better.”
“Anke is a beautiful soul who is enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge and understanding of the mind-body connection. In this workshop, Anke guided us through a deep exploration of ourselves, which greatly inspired me to deepen my own understanding of my body.”
“I meet frustration and grief of my lack of sensibility and how much I have put my body through, but I feel fully held by Anke and the space to go on this journey of slowness and reconnecting with my body from a more loving place.”
A self-paced, lower-cost way to work with me
This recorded journey is a beautiful entry point if you want to begin exploring this work in your own time and at a lower price point.
If you are looking for more personal support, you can also continue deeper with me through 1:1 intimacy coaching or Jade Egg/de-armouring based support, depending on what you need.
This way, Awakening Pleasure can meet you both as:
A powerful stand-alone journey
And a gateway into deeper personal coaching
