💻 General questions about the basic course (online)
How does the basic course work technically?
You book the course and then receive an email with access to the online course. There you will find lots of texts and videos. You can easily edit these whenever you want. In total, you will need about 6-8 hours to complete the entire basic course.
Can I only complete the online course?
Of course. If you are primarily interested in the theory, the online course is very suitable for you. You'll get a good overview of the connections between physical and mental illnesses and sexuality.
Do I have to complete the basic course before the other courses?
Yes, during the practical courses we want to focus 95% on practice. Therefore, you can work on the theory that is important for the topic independently via the online course.
Can I talk to you on the phone? I would like to discuss some questions in person.

Where is the practice course offered everywhere?
We are currently planning further courses at different locations for the coming months. Just click on the booking link here. You will then be taken directly to the course and see all the locations and dates for which you can register.
Can I also complete the course online?
No, as we really want to focus on the practice here and will also be practising different treatment techniques, I cannot offer the course online at the moment. We may also develop an online version of the course.
Do we also practise the practical treatment of the pelvic floor in the course?
Yes, we also practise the practical treatment of the pelvic floor on each other. Visceral treatment of the pelvic organs is also practiced.
These techniques are an important part of the course. If you do not wish to take part in these lessons, you can leave the classroom during this time.
🌴 General questions about the self-awareness course (in Tenerife)
Tantra Yoga & Massage - is this a therapeutic training course?
A very clear no. I have been offering this course for many years outside of my therapeutic seminars. We have now added the course to this page because in recent years participants from my therapeutic training courses have always taken part. This is a self-awareness workshop. In addition to daily yoga, meditation & breathwork, you will get to know yourself in consensus with other people. During the day, you will practise massage and touch techniques from Tantra and then integrate them into the group in the evening. This workshop will help you to get to know yourself and your needs, but also your limits, better and to communicate them. Participants from non-therapeutic professions can also take part in this workshop. If you have any questions about the course, please call us. Here is the link to my telephone calendar.
Do you only offer the course in Tenerife?
I offer the course three times a year at different locations - including once in Germany. As many participants take part in the course several times, the course is usually fully booked. Please write to me if you would like me to put you on the waiting list.
