Lea, from Lower Saxony, completed a Diploma in Administration and Management and worked over a decade in a bureau before she began to experience herself and Berlin with it’s kinky side. During her exploration she made many intrinsic experiences in Energy Work, different self awareness skills and bodywork-techniques like Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Contact Improvisation, BDSM and much more… 

Her second life started with studying Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology – becoming an Alternative Healer, followed by studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Western Herbology and various Therapeutic Techniques/Psychotherapy. Meanwhile she is a Sexologist (Sexocorporel Method). Last year workshops about self-care and self-compassion were important, this year talking about sexuality radically honest and playful BDSM are the current topics.

The combination of her well established medical knowledge, having a versatile sex-life and the desire to vitalize the sexual entity residing in others, inspired her to originate her own counselling establishment with a focus on sexuality and teaching sexual techniques.
