Empowerment
& sexual self-expression
A Lifelong Commitment
On my journey as an acupuncturist and holistic masseuse, I've provided therapy to individuals with HIV, focusing on physical, mental, and emotional well-being while also working towards destigmatizing STIs. Additionally, as a youth advocate, consent and sex educator in social care settings, and behavior practitioner addressing behaviors of concern and sexuality, two powerful themes have consistently woven through every facet of my work: Empowerment and Sexual Self-Expression
Empowerment Unleashed:
Empowerment is not just a concept; it's the heartbeat of my approach. Through coaching and education, I empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves, fostering a sense of agency, inner trust and confidence in navigating the intricacies of inner and outer relationships and sexuality.
Sexual Self-Expression as Liberation:
I believe that sexual self-expression is a form of liberation. It's more than a personal journey; it's sacred activitism. In a world that often dictates how we should feel about our bodies and desires, embracing and expressing our sexuality becomes a revolutionary act of reclaiming personal joy and pleasure.
A Political Act of Radical Self-Acceptance:
Radical self-acceptance is a powerful political act. By releasing shame and embodying trust within ourselves, we defy societal norms that seek to stigmatize and control. It's a bold step toward reclaiming a joyful and juicy life on our terms.
Destigmatizing STIs:
Advocacy work in destigmatizing STIs is about dismantling judgment and fostering understanding. It's a call to recognize that sexual health is an integral part of our holistic well-being. Through education and open conversation, we challenge societal narratives and create space for compassion, empathy and agency.
Embodying Trust Within:
Trusting oneself is foundational to this journey. It's about creating a safe harbour within, where you can explore your desires, navigate internal and external relationships, and celebrate your unique sexuality and sexual identity without fear or judgment.
Reclaiming Joyful, Juicy Pleasure:
The ultimate goal is to guide individuals in reclaiming a life filled with joyful, juicy pleasure. It's not just about embracing sexuality; it's about embracing life in its entirety, unapologetically and authentically.
In every session and workshop I hold, these themes resonate — driving a commitment to empowerment, embodying trust within, and integration of the sexual self.
Join me on this transformative journey, where empowerment and joy converge, and the path to a more authentic and integrated you.
A passion for Empowerment and radically embracing all aspects of our human experience
Hello, my name is Karen Egan, from and living in Ireland.
At the core of my work is a profound passion for empowering individuals to live life to the fullest, authentically and pleasurably. I approach my practice with consciousness and a holistic perspective, embracing the entirety of our human experience.
Over the past twenty years, I've dedicated myself to an immersive journey of exploration. My studies have taken me from the depths of Chinese medicine and Acupuncture, Chen Tai Chi, to exploring The Work of Byron Katie and somatic sexology. Throughout this journey, my endeavor has been to unravel the intricate interplay of our physical, mental, emotional, energetic, erotic, and spiritual bodies.
For a decade, I speacialised as a Behaviour Practitioner, advocating for consent education and empowering sexual expression among people with disabilities.
I'm deeply passionate about nurturing safe, inclusive spaces where the unvoiced voices of our body, mind, and being are welcomed. And to bear witness to that which may have been unbearable up until now through compassionate radical acceptance. When we integrate these exiled parts, we permit the exploration and expression of our innate innocent sexuality with joy, and curiosity.
Two and a half years ago, I resigned from social care. Alongside my Mum, we pallative-cared for my Dad to consciously die. The voyage of death and non-linear path of grief taught me more about kindness, compassion, intimacy and unconditional love than I could ever have imagained.
Today, I draw from these deep wells of experiences, incorporating many tools and practices to meet the needs and learning objective of each person. As a bridge between the seen and unseen worlds, I offer support to navigate the journey.
