Empowering women to claim their authority
Feeling into Aliveness • Communication • Sensual Massage
Changing the compass towards radically alive thriving and Sisterhood
Welcome Every-Body!
I am an Evolutionary Gaian Midwife on a quest - incarnating deeper and richer in this female human body of mine and in doing so reclaiming the sovereignty of my physcial form.
I create transformational containers for Women to heal the next piece in their evolution.
I take a stand for the birthright of Women, mothers and children seeking possibilities to empower their sovereign self.
I am a co-Creatrix of Radically Alive Women (www.radicallyalivewomen.com) carving out pathways for Women to source and create a new culture beyond patriarchy. Both online and on the land I create sanctuaries for Women to unfold their Being and their gifts as well as sourcing collaboration amongst Women wherever possible.
In my work I utilize my feelings, my energetic body, and my senses to be present with what is NOW, unfolding possibilitities and choice from that place. My work is informed by sensual body work, coaching, feelings-informed practice and life.
Are you curious to find your next step to live the life you want?

Embodied Coaching
There is the possibility to feel energetic, alive, in touch with your purpose, and completely turned on by what you do and are - every day!
What if I told you that your conscious feelings (anger, fear, sadness, and joy) are the fuel to shift from surviving to thriving?
Feelings - expressed unconsciously - expresses themselves in explosion & implosion, withdrawel, depression, isolation, and illnesses in your body.
On the contrary - conscious feelings create gateways to possbilities, clarity in your life, and more intimacy in your primary relationships.

TESTIMONIALS
My journey to receiving the massage came from a succession of injuries and poor physical health following the birth of my son. For three years, I had been sitting in a state of disembodiment and disconnection. I knew it was time for me self-care, self-accept, and self-love.
The lived experience of Annika’s space holding was heart centred, welcoming, accepting, non-judgemental, and really magical. It was as if time stopped, I was invited to receive deeply. The words that come to mind are blissful, euphoric, intense, emotional, soft, tender, and deeply healing.
Annika was able to guide me through the massage with excellent communication skills and she really encouraged me to let go and be with the process and the feelings that arose. It didn't take long for me to fully drop into the space. Trust was built ease-fully and I felt Annika's presence which helped me stay relaxed and cared for. Her touch was skilled and sincere. I felt safe and confident to let her know if something didn't feel right.
My life has become more engaged, expansive, and loving since receiving this massage. My romantic relationship has been noticeably more joyful and sensual.
Yoni Massage - August 2024
The sensual massage was a revelation and new discovery of my body: in full nakedness giving my body to Annika‘s touch, stay present and perceive my physical body at the same, and to sense myself deeper and wider. Annika gave me the gift of BEING in my body in complete peace. With her delicate massage she created a timeless space; one in which I could experience a new and deeper body connection. All of it without DOING, my connection to my left side of my body came back - previously to which I had lost my emotional and energetic access.I’m scared to use the big word oneness yet since the massage I’m experiencing a deeply embodied oneness with myself. Thank you.
Sensual Massage - July 2024
Receiving a massage from Annika was a big step on my healing journey. The body I knew does not exist anymore, being massively changed through an amputation, skin transplantations and large areas with scar tissue. The trust I set into Annika was rewarded in many ways. I appreciate her clear, compassionate and sensitive spaceholding that welcomed emotional expression without pushing. The attentiveness in her touch as well as her depth and light-heartedness worked great for me: I felt a true sister present with me in every moment of the session. We were together in a space of celebrating womanhood. The goddess showed up, dancing, as a part of my energetic body reunited with my physical body. Thank you, Annika!
Yoni and Sensual Body Massage - July 2024
What I discovered most in my Sensual/Yoni Massage session with Annika was how to relax into my own pleasure and that it can just be for me, for my aliveness, for my life at deeper layers than what I had discovered at this stage in my life.
I am very grateful that as a post menopausal woman I already feel more sexually alive and 'juicy' than I have in many years so it's not difficult to connect to my erotic life-force energy.
However receiving sensual touch from a woman in an intentional space like this, meant I could sense and feel the threads of old patterning that still existed in my system that said "If I feel pleasure I need to give back." or "It's not ok that this can be all for me."
I felt safe to speak these stories and express the emotions that came with them so that they could dissolve further and I could allow more aliveness and pleasure in as fuel for my life.
Annika held a strong space for this unfolding and worked with what was moving through my body without bringing a preconceived agenda into the space. This was sacred for me to experience.
Thank you.
Yoni Massage - June 2024
Coaching with Annika felt very empowering.
I enjoyed a lot her inner calmness and non-judgmental attitude with an open heart and open ears. It helped me to address and speak about what is happening within me.
During one of the coaching sessions she guided me slowly, smoothly, step by step through a past situation when I had felt fear as an emotion and had reacted with an automatic freeze response. I experienced transitioning from an automatic freeze response to feeling the fear and receiving the important information of it. While experiencing this I felt very well held by her.
Annikas calm, clear, centred, friendly and non-judgmental presence was very healing. The communication regarding logistics was transparent, easy and very reliable.

I made a lot of inner progress in a short amount of time. Each session was rich with clarity and gold and I was able to discover a broad range of new distinctions. I loved Annika’s spaceholding. The space she created was filled with razor sharp clarity, love, playfulness and transformation. Annika seemed to really care about my processes and evolution. I felt deeply seen, supported and encouraged. I highly recommend Annika as a coach.
Laura, Nov 2022 :: 1:1 Rage Sessions
I had no idea just how much my life was going to shift into a new gear from taking part in Annika's Rage Club, and I had an incredible (and totally unexpected) sense of embodied wholeness emerge as a result. That was after just one session! Since then, I have been walking the world feeling at peace with my perceived flaws and the flaws of others; feeling grounded, energized and extremely content with what I have learned about myself.
