Corina Dumont
Corina will meet you at that crossroad where it feels uncomfortable to be. She will meet you, welcome you, and walk along with you on your path of re-membering.
Corina works with people 1-1 combining intuitive coaching tools and Reiki therapy. She holds groups within safe energetic fields where we can work, as a collective, on what ails us individually. As a yoga instructor she focuses on marrying the breath to the movement, flowing through slow vinyasas and yin postures.
"I include cyclical wisdom in my approach and all my lived experiences are being alchemized for the purpose of re-membering ourselves".
Intuitive Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher & Yoga instructor
Raquel Williams
Passionate and inspired to live in a complete and profound way and for true expression through the physical body, in union with Nature.
I facilitate group and individual sessions for women focused on sexuality, supporting them on a path of interest and discovery of their erotic and sexual bodies. My purpose is to support each woman's free and loving relationship with her body, allowing for its true and sacred expression.
The sessions are intuitive and always in the company of plants in elixirs and geometries that are unique to each woman.
This is an invitation to each woman to recognise herself with love, openness, pleasure, acceptance and Consciousness.

Hatha Yoga instructor
Fran Moulder
My yogic journey began 26 years ago when I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression. My steady yoga practice has taught me indispensable ways to deal with the ups and downs of life and I haven't suffered from severe anxiety or depression for 23 years! My personal practice began with Iyengar yoga then moved into a more dynamic Ashtanga practice by 2004, where I completed intense training in Mysore, India. It wasn’t until 2015 that I had the chance to complete my 200hrs teaching training in Traditional Indian Yoga. I now find myself most comfortable teaching a yin-style yoga as my classes are so rooted in the breath and focus on relaxing into deep yet gentle postures through the breath for a longer time. Since 2015 I have also been very drawn to the practice of Yoga Nidra, therefore every class I teach ends with at least a 15 minute profoundly relaxing Yoga Nidra session.
