“This was the best Amsterdam temple! The group was big, I liked the exercises, the location was great, all was balanced very well and I met some amazing people!”Tamara
Down-to-earth tantra with safety at its core.
I’m Julia, a tantra facilitator and tantric bodyworker. I facilitate tantra temples, workshops, retreats, and private tantra sessions and bodywork. Consent, clear communication, and attunement are the foundations of my work.
About me
My story
Before becoming a full-time tantric priestess, my life looked very different. I worked in tax consulting at a large audit firm, worked in product management for startups, and launched a startup of my own. I was ambitious and constantly pushing myself to do more, achieve more, and keep going.
On top of that, I entered a toxic relationship, and that was when my body said no. I developed chronic back pain that would not go away, no matter how many doctors I saw or how many massages and therapies I tried.
Desperate to find a solution, I went deeper into yoga and eventually trained as a yoga teacher. I quickly realized that I was much more interested in emotions than in technique or impressive poses. My favorite class to teach was yin yoga for self-love. I invited people to think about something they appreciated about themselves or something they wanted to forgive themselves for. Sometimes these prompts brought people to tears, and those moments felt the most meaningful to me.
When I attended my first tantra retreat, I thought: this is it. This is what I have been looking for. Tantra gave me a way to bring together the body, emotions, mind, soul, and spirit. Since then, I’ve been on a tantric path for more than five years.
Today, I am also studying toward a degree in psychology and taking an additional course in Internal Family Systems.

I love exploring the point where tantra and psychology, spirituality and science, meet. These fields may use different language, but I believe they often explore the same questions about how to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
Bringing these worlds together is my superpower.

01 / Temples
Tantra Temples
A tantra temple is a chance to explore your sensuality, discover something new about yourself, notice what feels like a yes, a no, or a maybe, and find ways to communicate them clearly to others.
My temples are queer-friendly, beginner-friendly and sober. You are welcome to join alone, or bring your friends, partner(s), brothers and sisters.
If it is your first time joining us, we have a short intake call to get to know each other, answer your questions, and explain what to expect. At the beginning of the event, we make clear agreements about consent, confidentiality, boundaries, and personal responsibility.
We begin together with movement, meditation, connection exercises, and consent practice. Once everyone understands the agreements and has had time to connect, the temple opens into free flow.
During free flow, you choose what you want to explore. You might dance, receive a massage, try sensual play, cuddle, talk, observe, or rest. Everything is optional, and you can change your mind at any time. Our team is always available if you need support, a check-in, or someone to talk to.

What temple participants say
“I felt welcome at all times, well cared for, safe, and completely free in my own choices about what I wanted to engage in and what I did not.Heng
What was new for me was that there were also various offerings such as hypnosis, tarot, a tea ceremony, and a DJ, all of which accompanied the experience and created a very pleasant and positive setting. I left the event late in the evening with an open and warm heart and would happily come again.🤗😊❤️”
“I had the most beautiful and transformative evening at this Tantric Temple led by two experienced priestesses who created such a safe, warm, and deeply sacred space to explore the full spectrum of our inner masculine and feminine energies. Through playful games, expressive movement, dance, and powerful meditations, I was able to connect with both the soft, loving light and the fiery, powerful dark aspects within myself — and witness the same in others.Rene
The evening felt both liberating and profoundly healing. I left with a much richer inner connection between my own Shiva and Shakti, as well as fresh inspiration for how I relate to the people in my life.”
“It was an amazing experience. Very warm, welcoming and safe space to connect with others, yourself and explore. Well prepared and guided. Everything started with exercises which help you to connect with yourself first and then with others, safely and respectfully. Beautiful, warm people, great music and atmosphere. I'm already recommending this to my friends:)))) I'll be back!”Rafal

Temple testimonial
A first temple experience
MartinThe Foundation workshop felt like it was tailor made for me as a newbie with all my personal issues catered for. From a design point, it was a powerful way to start, very clear, gentle, and very supportive. Learning the Red/Amber/Green boundaries system made everything feel safe and grounded, which was just right for new people like me attending. It created a shared emotional language that helped everyone relax into their own journey.
The Temple itself had an incredible energy, a strong sense of presence, openness, and connection in the room. I really appreciated how carefully the space was setup and guided, with nothing feeling rushed, and every step had intention behind it.
The group’s energy flow from start to finish was amazing. In such a large group, it was beautiful to see genuine respect and warmth.
What stood out most was the care from the facilitators. The guidance was steady, compassionate, and very much in tune to the feelings of individuals. Somehow they were everywhere, checking on everyone, making sure we moved forward as a group and were not left in the dark at any time.
A truly special experience, highly recommended for anyone curious about polarity, being present in mind and body, boundaries, or simply connecting with themselves in a new way.
02 / Tantra massage
Tantric bodywork
For me, tantra massage is a therapeutic bodywork focused on sensations, emotions, and energy. We work more with subtle levels of experience than with muscles or trigger points.
Tantra massage can be helpful for:
- deep relaxation
- reconnecting with your body and expanding your capacity to feel
- processing emotions and releasing energy blocks
- navigating life challenges and transitions through the body
- cultivating self-love and body acceptance
- experiencing loving touch and practicing receiving without having to give
I bring my psychology knowledge into the sessions. If you are going through a deep emotional process or want to share something vulnerable, I can support you. A session is not psychotherapy or medical treatment, but there is space for whatever comes up.
You are welcome to come with a specific intention or simply with curiosity.
This is not an erotic massage. We agree on boundaries before the massage begins, yours and mine. You can pause, say no to any touch, or change your mind at any moment.
Sessions are open to all genders.
Before we meet: 10 to 20 minute intake video call before booking
The session: 2.5 to 3 hours, including time to arrive, a conversation about your intention and boundaries, the massage, and time to rest and share afterward

What bodywork clients say
“At the core of it is her deeply non-judgemental presence, and paired with her intuitive touch and energy, I felt very held and safe at all times. The session itself was deeply transformational, and I’m still integrating its profundity.”Marian
“During the session, she stayed very attentive and made sure to check in regularly. That made me feel safe and at ease the whole time, like I could just let go without overthinking anything.”Anonymous
“My tantra massage with Julia was both soft and deeply connected. I felt all parts of me had the right to exist and occupy the space, I felt thoroughly welcomed there. There was even space for some emotional release that arised during the practice, which was important to me and again made me feel thoroughly welcome. The playfulness, attunement, care and gentleness I received from Julia made that massage very special to me.”Melina
“A big shout-out to Julia for her masterclass on tantric massage! Julia’s focus on communication, respect, safety, and care was a highlight. Appreciated Julia's knowledge and her openness to share it. Thank you!”Anonymous
03 / For individuals and couples
Retreats, workshops, and private tantra sessions
Temples give us space for exploration and play. Retreats and workshops can let us go deeper into a specific topic, the kind of focus we may not have space for during a temple evening.
My offerings range from evening workshops to multiday retreats. One of my favorite offerings is the Embodied Attachment workshop, an evening where we explore attachment patterns and practice choosing differently in the present. My multiday retreats usually focus on topics like self-love, body love, inner child work, releasing shame and negative beliefs. I also love creating community tantra weekends where we co-create the experience together.
For individuals and couples, I offer private sessions that are psychologically informed and shaped around what you bring, whether that is a specific intention or a challenge you are working through. A session might include nervous system regulation, embodiment practices, and tantric rituals, depending on what you need. For couples specifically, I offer communication tools, practices to deepen your connection, tantric rituals you can do together, and practices that can help when attraction fades.
Ask about a private tantra sessionFor newcomers and experienced participants
You decide how you participate.
Before the practice begins, I explain what it involves, show a demo if needed, and give you space to ask questions. You can choose to do it as is, adapt it, or skip it. You can change your mind and your boundaries at any time.
Touch is always optional. No previous tantra experience is needed.
