ABOUT

Hi, my name is Rovena and I specialize in relationships, sexuality and intimacy. I’m deeply passionate about this work. In fact, I think I have the best job in the world (for me that is)

Every couple is going to have some challenges in these areas at some point in their lives, and that’s ok. Support is available.

If your relationship or intimacy is not as fulfilling and joyful as you were hoping it would be, I can help. If a past relationship is still haunting you; If you are ready for a new one but don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, I can offer support. If your relationship is great, but in the bedroom you are struggling – please reach out. If you are fighting over the same stuff over and over again – there is so much we can do to stop that painful spiral.

I have a strong background in both Eastern and Western approaches to relationships and intimacy.

I work with couples and individuals who need some help with their relationships focusing on issues such as:

– Conflict resolution

– Intimacy struggles (Sexual and Non Sexual intimacy)

– Communication challenges
- Infidelity (physical and emotional)
- Sexless marriage

– Desire Discrepancy

– Sexual Pain

– Feeling Seen, Heard and Deeply Understood in your relationships

– Tantric Sexuality

My sessions are 90 minutes long. We don’t have to rush and we go pretty deep. I want to make sure you get results you want. Please reach out. I look forward to meeting with you.

TESTIMONIALS

We were so pleased with our session with you last night! I had an expectation of how it would be and you far exceeded it!! Your knowledge and your insights and intuition marry in such a beautiful way. We left our first session with you feeling hopeful and excited for the next session!

Thank you! You are absolutely incredible!

Working with Rovena has been a life changing experience for me. I’ve struggled for years to make the breakthroughs I’ve made with her in just a few short months. Amazing. I have great trust in Rovena’s skill as a Tantra Coach; and her own life transformation is truly a testament of the power of Tantra. If you want to blossom into the fullness of your sexual and life force energy in a safe and confident way, I highly recommend Rovena to support your journey.”

I think the biggest thing I have noticed is that I feel less stressed about the whole situation. For so long I felt like something was wrong with me and now that I feel like I am normal and feel like it is okay to feel the way I do sometimes (bashful or not wanting to be touched) and that I/we just need to find things that work for me to tap into my sexuality. It sort of feels like a weight has been lifted.

I went for my first appointment with Rovena. The appointment lasted for an hour. Rovena utilized this one hour to its maximum. She is a great teacher because not only does she posses a profound knowledge but she also was able to transfer that knowledge to me and help me define and understand the issues I have. I booked few more sessions the moment we ended with my first appointment and can’t wait to visit her again. Thank you Rovena!”
