Karolina Leia

Karolína Leia describes herself as a guide of womb alchemy, a teacher of women's tantra yoga, a mentor to women, an Ayurvedic therapist and a postpartum doula. Her site is headed Tantra Yoga, Ayurveda and Women's Circles. Her stated mission is to accompany women as they awaken their full potential and feminine strength by connecting with what she calls the sacred womb.

Her individual sessions combine tantric energy practices, theta healing, sound healing, somatic movement and breathwork. In some cases she also uses gentle shamanic techniques. She blends these with what she calls ancient Taoist tantric practice and modern research on psychosomatics, neuroscience and women's physiology. She also offers longer mentoring, ceremonies and rites of passage, women's circles, workshops, an online course and free guided meditations. She has created a rose-based sacred oil, Dēvī Shakti.

Her own path began in childhood, in her grandfather's rose garden and in dance. She studied international politics and diplomacy, lived in France and travelled widely. After a corporate career and a marriage that no longer worked, she left both and went to live in India, where she met several spiritual teachers. She names her tantra training with the Brazilian shaman Komala de Armorim, repeated spiritual stays in India and becoming a mother among her milestones. She came to deeper womb work through her own pain after a divorce, and she has now practised it for more than ten years. She lives with her family in South Bohemia, where she holds her ceremonies in person.
