(Self-)Love in Presence
A 3-month online journey to remember that being a sensual and sexual being can be safe, too.
Just like me, you know.
You know what it's like when your body freezes.
When time fractures.
When something inside you understands that what is happening should not be happening.
And yet it happens.
Maybe you were a child.
I was a teenager.
Maybe you survived as best you could.
I dissociated myself.
Brilliantly.
Silently.
I continued to live. To explore. To love even.
But part of me was no longer really there.
For a long time, I didn't know that what I was still experiencing—in my body, in my sexuality, in my impulses—was connected to that event.
I thought it was “my personality.”
Or “my complexity.”
Until the day I realized that it wasn't me who was flawed.
It was my system that had survived non-consensual sex. Violent. Abject. Intolerable.
And that it could learn something else.
It could clear a new path.
A path where you can feel without losing yourself.
A path where sensuality becomes a place of presence again.
A path where intensity no longer rhymes with danger.
And that's why I created:
(Self-) Love in Presence
It's not therapy.
It's not a sexuality program.
It is not a performance space.
It is a path.
A path to return to inhabiting your body safely.
A path to feel without losing yourself.
A path to rediscover a lively, gentle, and conscious sensuality.
What this program offers
​
Three months of online support in small groups
for women who have experienced past sexual trauma
and are now stable.
It does not replace therapeutic follow-up.
It comes after that.
In a phase of integration.
​
We explore:
• nervous system safety
• inner consent
• gentle physical reconnection
• conscious sensuality
• intensity experienced without dissociation
• chosen relational intimacy
Always at a slow pace.
Always with the option to stop.
Always respecting your rhythm.
The 6-step journey
1 — Safety & inner consent
Understanding how your body reacts and finding a stable anchor.
2 — Sensitive physical reconnection
Re-learning to feel without pressure.
3 — Conscious sensuality
Redefining pleasure as a space of presence.
4 — Intensity & regulated ecstasy
Exploring more intensity while remaining safe.
5 — Relational intimacy
Connect without betraying yourself.
6 — Integration & autonomy
Anchor your resources for the future.
Perhaps you recognize yourself...
You have already done therapeutic work.
You understand many things.
You function in your life.
​
But in your body...
• something remains frozen
• pleasure is either timid, intense and mechanical, or absent
• intimacy requires a lot of energy
• you can be there... but not completely present, inhabited
You no longer want to “work on your trauma.”
You want to feel alive.
The format
• Videos
• Guided audio recordings (regulation & physical practices)
• Art therapy practices
• Integration journal
• 1 online circle per module (optional)
• Optional triads with confidentiality agreement
​
The language is always inviting:
“You can try...”
“If it this feels right for you today...”
“You can stop at any time...”
​
Here, nothing is forced.
Nothing is expected.
Nothing is performed.
This program is for you if:
• You have already done therapeutic work
• You feel generally stable
• You want to move towards more life, not more analysis
• you are looking for a deep and respectful space
​
It is not suitable if:
• you are experiencing acute emotional dysregulation
• you have never had therapeutic support for your trauma
• you are looking for therapy or an explicit sexuality program
What you might experience
Not a spectacular transformation.
Not a magical promise.
But perhaps:
• More security in your body
• More clarity about your boundaries
• An ability to feel pleasure without dissociating
• A more present, more conscious intimacy
• Lasting tools to continue on your path
• Real integration.

I deeply believe that we can return to ourselves.
I believe that sensuality can once again be a source of gentle power.
I believe that love in presence is possible.
Without dissociating.
Without forcing yourself.
Without losing yourself.
