About Zhanna

Growing up in a physician’s family, Zhanna has been fascinated by alternative healing methods and a mind-body connection since her early childhood. An avid reader, Zhanna pursued an advanced degree in Literature and Philosophy, taught at university, and tried different professional paths, before she discovered her passion to bring more wellness, harmony, and sensuality into people’s lives as a sexuality coach.

Already a long-time yogini, occupational therapy practitioner, Reiki Master, and personal and professional development coach, Zhanna began to study Tantra in 2016, and started her Holistic Sex and Intimacy Coaching Practice shortly thereafter.

About Holistic Intimacy Coaching

Holistic means “dealing with or treating the whole of something or someone, and not just a part.”

Zhanna’s sessions are based on a unique combination of psycho-somatic methods, including Tantra, conscious consent practices, communication games, and intuitive counseling.

​As your Holistic Intimacy Coach,  she will listen to your concerns and desires, and provide you tailored approach with solid advice, information, and support. As your Tantra Educator, she will guide you through practices of deeper embodiment, awakening your vitality and pleasure, and being more powerfully present for your partner – through your body, and your heart.

What is Tantra?

​The word Tantra in Sanskrit can be translated as “weaving together”, or the instrument of expansion.

Tantra is the Eastern tradition of non-duality, which has its roots in Buddhism and Hinduism. Tantra precedes yoga, the physical and spiritual practice of uniting body, mind, and spirit. The intimate practices of Tantra were believed to expand consciousness, reach enlightenment, as well as to create, and sustain spiritual connection and physical passion within traditional marriages.

​All Tantra practices are based on seeing sexuality as a positive and empowering life force. Tantra teaches how to embrace, increase, and use sexual energy in your relationships, your bedroom, and your life.

About Avinoam

Avinoam Lerner, Cancer Trauma & Recovery Specialist, Author, TEDx Speaker

Growing up in a war-torn part of the world, where loss and trauma are rampant, I remember this seminal moment, at the age of six, witnessing a woman I looked up to breaking down after learning her husband did not return from the war.

The look in her eyes, of fear and loss, burned into my brain with intensity. I wanted it to go away so badly! But, being so young, I couldn’t do anything; I felt powerless and helpless.

Many years later, I saw the very same look in someone else’s eyes, a cancer patient who came to me for a consultation seeking relief. At that moment, I was no longer that helpless child; I had the tools and the knowledge and could finally help.

That patient changed the direction of my practice and gave it a clear and defined focus – to help people facing cancer and trauma break through to recovery.

I am asked sometimes – how can you do it? How can you stay so present, focused, and content in the face of others’ fears, trauma, and grief? My answer is – it’s what I am here for. I can support people this way because that’s who I am.

As an army veteran, I know the value of discipline and pushing through. Cancer is a battlefield of a sort, which is why my approach is goal-oriented and result-driven. And yet, as a parent of two daughters, I’ve learned to be nurturing and grounded. That is what I offer those I work with, a safe and structured place for healing of both mind and body.

Professional Training

I earned my degree as a Holistic Therapist from the Reidman International College for Complementary and Integrative Medicine in Israel in 2000. I am certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist by the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) and the National Federation of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NFNLP) in the USA.
