SEX & INTIMACY PSYCHOLOGIST, SEXOLOGIST AND HYPNOTHERAPIST
Meet Marianne, MSc
You’re probably tired, disconnected and maybe even frustrated that your sex seems “broken", your life feels empty and your body exhausted.
I know exactly what it’s like, because I’ve been there too. After my episiotomy when I gave birth to my son, I changed from being a sexual active being into a frozen, disconnected and tired woman. Life was frustrating, I felt I lost connection with myself and my relationship was making me feel exhausted.
It got really bad when I felt severely depressed, unable to enjoy life to the fullest. It would’ve been so much easier if I had someone to guide me through.
Finally I reached a point where I so deeply felt: "This… no more! It’s enough! I have a masters in social psychology, so there must be something I can do with this, right?"
​
That’s when everything changed for me. I started educating myself again about sex and positive psychology. I took a deep dive into the spiritual side of sexuality – something that’s always been important for me.
​
I decided I don't want to look at sex and sexuality from a clinical approach, but from a spiritual and embodied approach.
To come towards healing from the intimate side, instead of the sterile clinical side. And from that place, create an immediate felt safety for myself and later on for all the women from all over the world who came to work with me.
It is so important to feel safe, and warm, and acknowledged and seen in who you truly are and the struggles you are dealing with now, and the desires that are bubbling up from within.
​
How amazing is it to be guided through all of that and receive help to connect to the power that is already inside of you.
Instead of doing therapy sessions focused on the traumas and pains, I look at how to feel empowered and alive. And still acknowledge all the emotions, traumas and pain along the way in a super deep way.
This is where my background of Social Psychology, Positive Psychology, Sex, Love and Relationship VITA coaching, Meditation, Tantra, Taoism, Reiki, Energy Clearing, Energy Healing and all the knowledge I soaked up while travelling the world all blends in together.
I learned about so many powerful method combining parts and tools of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Body-Mind Mapping, Dynamic Breathwork, Traditional and Neo-Tantra, Relationship Therapy modalities, and Energetic Guided Meditation, Gestalttherapy, Focusing, Somatic Experiencing and Systemic Therapy.
Mixing all these elements together, blending it with my own unique personality I have created a Sexual Healing Therapy Methodology for women.
