ABOUT DANNI LOVEFOX | Sex Coach & Tantra Teacher

As a certified SOMATIC SEXOLOGIST, BODYWORKER and TEACHER OF THE TANTRIC PATH, I weave the magic of Tantra with trauma-informed embodiment coaching to assist you in experiencing yourself in new ways, connecting on a deeper level to your inner world and uncovering what it is you really value in order to create a lifestyle that embraces joy, authenticity and connection as its basis

Moving from London to Berlin in 2010, working within the electronic music culture that absorbed my complete attention at that time, I spent what seemed like endless hours contacting a part of myself I rarely knew outside of dance floors. You could say it was an opening into experiencing embodied meditation, delving into states of being far apart from everyday consciousness.

At some point it felt like the world as I had known it turned inside out and a curiosity to better understand the nature of reality took hold. After quite a rough adjustment period, it became clear that this feeling from long nights in clubs could be uncovered and savoured elsewhere through being in deeper alignment with my body. Experiments with yoga, meditation, drinking less and detoxing more followed.

There was a longing to discover and live my own outlet for creativity - a way to express spirit into the physical realm. I relished those moments experienced through the senses where our usual perception is altered, transcending somehow the duality between within and without. It turned out that my connection to spirit is best expressed through touch - a discovery made after following an impulse to purchase a selection of materials on Tantra in a bookshop in Varanasi one morning and resolving to sign up to learn TANTRA MASSAGE through Berlin’s Kashima studio.

It was a joy to connect with the 'other' in this way. There's such potential for beauty in those moments of flow, an intensity so pure and refined can be teased into being through meditative touch. I celebrated the joy of creativity, presence within stillness, the potential for vulnerability and connection in a space held with tenderness, warmth and respect. It was clear that this was exactly what I had been searching for - a new way to express and explore this otherworldly feeling best known through those most memorable moments where music had reached through to touch at my very core. And in some ways it felt similar in that, with the right synchronicity energetically, its possible to take someone on a curated ride through peaks and drops using conscious touch - gradually coaxing them out of their usual awareness, going beyond the control of their mind and masks and letting go into a full-bodied experience of the here and now.

After joining Barbara Carellas for her URBAN TANTRA graduate programme, CONSCIOUS KINK revealed novel ways to bring variety and further nuance to these journeys. Delving into the polarity of dominance and submission brought intriguing tools to probe the concept of self further in terms of the shadow, surrender, power and permission. John Hawken's PATH OF DARK EROS brought further consciousness to working with energy in this way and the potential to bring an expansion beyond the trappings of fear, guilt, shame and the need for everything to be faster, harder and more intense - enjoying instead an excitement rooted in increased sensitivity, relaxation and freedom to choose who you are and what you enjoy in each moment - outside of labels and beyond any conditioning we may conform to.

John Hawken's THE ART OF TANTRA MASSAGE year long training brought focus to a deeper teaching component within sessions. Working through the elements, it is possible to experience various qualities of the tantric paradigm, with the potential for initiation. The effects of this work have been so intense for my own personal process and within the sessions I held that I felt called to complete his other year long trainings THE MEDICINE PATH, BIOENERGETICS and SACRED BODY, PASSIONATE SPIRIT.

Having worked with so many different bodies over the years, the connection between how the body is formed and the behaviors presented in terms of personality became increasingly noticeable. The link between body and mind, subconscious and conscious, matter and energy became of more and more interest and I began researching within the realm of body psychotherapy with a wish to develop on the one year introductory course in BIOENERGETICS further through an accredited training in the near future. For now, sessions are supported with an awareness around the effects of character structures and trauma within patterns of tension in the body as well as practicing to gently hold space for emotional release at the INTEGRAL BODY INSTITUTE with a 200hr MYOFASCIAL ENERGETIC RELEASE bodywork training under Satyarthi Peloquin alongside a special skills training on HEALING DEVELOPMENTAL TRAUMA.

With these new learnings around guiding the process of positive change through ongoing focused work, the limitations inherent in taking people on beautiful one-off journeys into the world of energy, without knowing how to recreate such experiences within their own lives, became apparent. For many of us, encountering this level of surrender, depth and connection to ourselves occurs more easily within a session with a practitioner. I currently enjoy to offer HOLISTIC SEX COACHING sessions based on Joseph Kramer's Sexological Bodywork programme. Embarking upon John Hawken's TANTRA TEACHER TRAINING will develop over the next years the possibility to share this work through group alchemical processes spread over one year in the form of four 4-day teaching blocks, as well as a special series of sessions that carefully guide along the Tantric Path as a personalized private workshop for singles or couples looking to commit to this journey.

My focus is upon teaching those curious how to get more in touch with their bodies and their pleasure, release imprints of shame around sex and feel free to give themselves permission to fully access and enjoy their sensuality. Through somatic sex coaching, its possible to practice under guidance tools to overcome sexual limitations and enter into relaxed awareness within arousal or ecstatic energetic states - through conscious, embodied and creative self-pleasure practices - learning the skills needed to explore such experiences with lovers if single, or with a partner through couples coaching.

My intention with this work is to empower all genders to find a sense of harmony and acceptance within themselves and with each other, rising up to boldly create, communicate and embody the fulfilling sexual intimacy wished for - however that may look.

At SNATCH, I offer a supportive space to explore yourself and your connection to the universe.

Powered by ongoing trainings in body- and breathwork, I work lovingly and compassionately to teach greater awareness within the body, exploring this gateway that lies deep within the present moment, through which you may fly beyond the everyday into a true reality beyond.
