Several events in my personal history have fed meaningfully into the style of facilitation and bodywork that I practice today. Studying Fine Art impressed on me the power of visual communication, especially the power of symbols and engaging with pagan spirituality showed me how to harness that power in creating ritual.

My journey into working with different embodiment techniques began with a study of the Alexander Technique and a later training in the techniques of the Body Electric school at Authentic Eros in Berlin which culminated in a Sacred Intimate certification. This allowed me to combine embodiment and spirituality with sexuality.

My friend and Mentor Andy Saich, who founded Men in Touch in London and also created the BodyFlow massage which I offer as a practitioner and hold trainings in, continues to be a major influence on me and inspires even the new work that I have added to my teaching since his passing.

Added to this, a study of personal development techniques has given me the vocabulary and precision of language which I find necessary to communicate what I have learned and support others in their self growth and the exploration of their full potential.

I teach various types of yoga and meditation to different audiences and ability groups (including absolute beginners). I teach predominantly at a men only yoga studio in London where I also convene workshops on consent and ritualised tantric touch for groups and 1:1 sessions. I regularly host mini retreats which are immersive experiences which combine different forms of tantric practice with art shows, home made food and live music.

The psychology and symbolism of sex and particularly its gay/ queer ritualistic practice has informed my art and bodywork practice.

I first started yoga while living in the Castro in San Francisco and witnessed morning practice at Burning Man in 2001 just before 9/11.

I qualified as a yoga teacher at Yogacampus and my ongoing training and practice includes classical Ashtanga Mysore practice, orgasmic shamanism, tantra for gay men, somatic psychotherapy after Wilhelm Reich and Reiki.

London has been my home for all my adult life where I came to attend art school and set up my creative practice in ceramics, painting, drawing and bodywork. I grew up in Frankfurt with a Chinese mother who comes from the indigenous clan based people in Hong Kong and a German father.

In a previous life I completed a PhD and worked as a religious studies researcher in Swedish academia, but for the last five years I have been living as a nomad and putting most of my energy into organising queer community for radical faerie spaces in France and Spain. I have offered numerous workshops at faerie gatherings and I am always amazed at what happens when people open up and let their authentic, messy selves shine.

My love of travel and curiosity for other cultures has led me to live for extensive periods of time in three different continents and learn a bunch of languages. Of particular interest to me are the ways in which we can create ritual as a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.

I hold a BA in literature and I graduated from a course in creative writing at the Writer’s School of the Ateneu in Barcelona. When I am not traveling or organising, I crave going back to my writing practice. After a memoir and a novel, I am currently working on a collection of short stories.

Romero

I am a queer faerie, a performer, musician and a visual artist in my spare time. I also bring the magic of creativity as well as a strong connection to nature into my massage and facilitation practice. I am passionate, caring and have an empathic attitude towards all human beings.

I hold an Advanced Certificate in Ka Huna bodywork from the Mette Institute. This includes Polynesian Floor Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Skeleton Massage, Huna Philosophy & Polynesian System. I am also a certified instructor in the art of Heartworks Lomi Lomi and assisted the facilitation at the institute for about a year.

I also have certificates in Swedish Massage, Basic Remedial, Head and Facial and Foot Massage, Trigger Point Therapy (TrP) and Deep Tissue Massage, Neuro Muscular Techniques (NMT), Sport Massage Therapy, Abdominal Massage and Pressure Points for Constipation.

In addition I studied BodyFlow massage with its creator Andy Saich and have used this technique along with intuitive erotic massage for over 6 years working mostly in Australia and for the past two years in Europe.
