Frequently Asked Questions
The existential tantric psycho-somatic therapy works holistically on your emotions, cognition, and physical body across the unconscious, conscious and meta-conscious (that is, the way your conscious mind perceives itself, in other words, how you think and feel about your own thoughts and feelings). The goal of the therapy is to enable you to lead your life more freely and genuinely, feeling secure in the world, mastering the inner connection with yourself and the outer relationships with others and the world, fully tasting and experiencing what you really like in life, living with greater freedom and awareness of your values and with inner consent, and finding meaning and fulfilment. Those having a spiritual interest can also explore non-dualistic teachings and practices.
The sessions blend science and art across existential psychology, non-violent communication, neuroscience and psycho-somatic bodywork with ancient spiritual teachings of Classic and Neo Tantra, Taoism, Buddhism and Shamanism.
If you are a first-time client, there will be an initial 15 to 30-minute complimentary discovery call to discuss your interests and goals to assess whether I could be of assistance. If we agree to work together then we’ll decide whether to have the sessions online or in person.
Online sessions usually take between 60 and 90 minutes, and are mostly focused on talk therapy, with occasional guidance for practices that you can do by yourself at home, either during the session or after.
In-person sessions usually take between 3.5 and 6 hours. They usually start with counselling and may include mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, bodywork, tantric massage, emotional release, de-armouring (the alleviation and ultimately releasing of the emotional and somatic shields that we acquire throughout our lives in response to and as an attempt to cope with difficult situations that are hard to deal with in the moment) and trauma renegotiation. Sessions can be clothes-on or off, and are governed by high professional standards, code of ethics and boundaries.
I am always available after sessions if there is need for aftercare and support.
I welcome all genders, sexual orientations and relationship styles.
Online sessions are conducted via video conference in a safe and confidential manner. The sessions are not recorded or captured into transcripts.
In-person sessions take place in a safe and beautifully set space that creates the perfect ambiance enabling you to feel safe, relax, surrender, feel nourished, and gently open up.
First, I’d like to clarify that the practice of “Tantric massage” is not necessarily rooted in Classical Tantra. Rather, it emerged as part of the New-Age and Neo-Tantra movement. The association with Classical Tantra comes from the focus of the Neo-Tantra movement on sexuality as the focal point of Tantra (or at least one of the main areas of its application), which is a gross misperception. Therefore, the term could be considered a misappropriation or misrepresentation. However, Classical Tantra and Taoist practices incorporate working with energy that also includes sexuality; chakra cleansing, opening and activation; spiritual states of awakening and “spiritual orgasms” – commonly associated with Kundalini activation and awakening.
I am only using the term “Tantric massage” because its use has become wide-spread and people relate to it, despite its misuse. Thus, I feel the need to provide further clarification to avoid confusion between Tantric massage as a therapeutic practice, and pleasure-focused Tantric massage as an erotic-only service.
The receiver of a therapeutic Tantric massage is not a giver. Their role is to receive and surrender to the re-emergence and healing of the senses, feelings and emotions, cognitive repositioning, and spiritual awakening. Among the many techniques that can be employed in a therapeutic Tantric massage we can find breathwork, mindfulness and meditation, unblocking and activating energy channels, somatic experiencing, full body and psycho-somatic bodywork, which is not necessarily sexual.
Unlike an erotic massage, this therapeutic (and considered sacred, by many) practice incorporates the Tantric essence of Shakti (meaning energy, power, the goddess in Sanskrit). When this universal force is artfully embedded into therapy it can touch the deepest layers and aspects of the being and be a powerful and profound instrument of spiritual, emotional and physical healing. For more information, please read my blog post “What is Tantric Massage Therapy?“ that expands this subject.
I welcome all genders, nationalities, sexual orientations and relationship styles.

Stories of Wonderful Transformation

"Tyr was recommended to me by a dear friend. The intake process he facilitated made me feel instantly at ease - Tyr offered me a video discovery call where we could meet and feel each other before meeting in person. On the call he gave me lots of space to share about my experiences, expectations and desires for the session. I was touched by his capacity to listen attentively, with attunement and an open heart. After the call he sent me all intake documents, including client intake form, treatment contra-indications and suggestions for aftercare. As a Sexological Bodyworker myself I appreciated his professionalism in setting all stages of the container.
For the in-person session I visited Tyr's beautiful therapy space by the Thames. The session space was beautifully prepared with attention to detail - I felt immediately comfortable and welcomed by him. We spent the first part of the session drinking tea, revisiting my desires and co-creating the session. Tyr is incredibly sensitive, attentive and responsive - I felt heard and seen by him at all times. The bodywork session was beautiful. He is an incredibly skilled bodyworker - despite the fact that he had a knee injury he moved around me in a way that felt like at times at least 2 people were touching me! His touch was intuitive and met me where I wanted to be met - the times I needed a slight change he adjusted immediately after my request. He was present in his body, breathing slowly & deeply and attuning to my physical, emotional & energetic body.
The bodywork included genital and anal massage & stimulation where again he demonstrated a lot of skill, care and responsiveness to my body. I had a beautiful orgasmic and emotional release which he met with loving presence. We moved into a gentle and spacious integration after which he opened the space for me to reflect and ask questions. He shared a lot of useful tips with me around how I can become more skilled at moving energy through my body, release tension from my womb etc. I was impressed by his embodied expertise of the intersection of psychological, psychosomatic, emotional and spiritual (body)work.
To sum up - Tyr is kind, present, skilled, attuned, loving, caring, knowledgeable and attentive. He facilitated a session for me where I kind of forgot he was there - which is an indication of a great bodywork session for me - when the practitioner is so clean and present in their attitude and transmitting safety, so that I as the client can fully drop in and relax into my own process.
Thank you Tyr, I look forward to the next time!"

“I experienced a wonderful tantric massage from Tyr, which brought me to a deep state of relaxation. He started with slow but ample movement that relaxed my muscles and joints, and released tensions that I had in certain parts of my body. He was in complete tune with me, feeling me and being attentive to my physiological, emotional and energy needs. The pressure of the touch was perfect throughout, fluctuating from feather-soft to firm and energetic. After my body was completely relaxed, his technique became more sensual, which helped me come in touch with the depths of my femininity, opening me up more, and more, and more. I noticed I had some tension in my Yoni which, with utmost delicacy, he managed to release. When the tantric massage finished, I felt like I was floating, feeling lighter, open hearted. I felt while crying with joy that I was healing certain trauma I carried from in my previous relationship. I am really grateful, and I am looking forward with anticipation to the next session. Thank you, Tyr.”

“I went to see Tyr to work on some blockages and allow myself to dive back into my pleasure. The most difficult part was to take the first step, to contact him, putting aside my mental barriers on sexuality. He offered me a free discovery call and took time to answer all questions I had without rushing me to book a session. Communicating with Tyr felt immediately easy. I did appreciate his sensitivity and rationality which resonates well with my scientist mind. The therapy space was warm and cosy. The counseling time was followed on my request by bodywork. He took again all the time we needed to connect. His hands travelled on my body, slowing down regularly to check how I was doing. A long and slow full body massage, where I passed through different emotions. I felt safe and connected enough to wish to experience a yoni massage. It was a unique occasion to focus only on my pleasure. I felt immersed in a wave of pleasure and energy which he carefully maintained to not let it submerge me. Whatever was coming, I could be myself without judgement. I see Tyr as a facilitator, shining the paths to connect to your sexual awareness while you choose the direction you take. I warmly recommend the session offered by Tyr, as a delicious gift to offer to yourself.”

“I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the healing I experienced today. You have touched my life most profoundly and I will never forget what you did for me. If there were more people like you, the world would be a better place for women. Tyr is a beautiful, loving person who held a very safe space for me during the bodywork therapy. For the first time in my life, I felt able to open up and be completely vulnerable with a man. I’ve struggled for many years with feeling numb in my body and lack of pleasure in sex. Tyr gave me my first ever orgasm and I will always be grateful to him. He exudes warmth and peacefulness. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him wholeheartedly.”

“I saw Tyr for my very first tantric massage therapy and all I can say is that it was a truly magical and healing experience. Tyr is very professional and conducted the ceremony in a very ethical and sacred way. I felt safe and was able to trust and surrender. Tyr has magical hands, just like a wizard channelling divine wisdom and energy. I would highly recommend Tyr.”
