Ceremonial Yoni Massage & Trauma-Informed Bodywork

A Metaphoric Body

Healing touch that reminds you how sacred your body is.

Based in Falmouth, Cornwall;
virtual appointments worldwide.

𖦹 Six years in practice
𖦹 A decade supporting trauma survivors
𖦹 Ten distinct trainings

The most powerful transformations happen when you become the most alive you have ever been.

This aliveness waits patiently inside your body.

Beneath the pain, beneath the numbness, beneath the shame, your body has the ability to bring more colour and pleasure into your life than you have ever known.

I offer compassionate hands-on care, routes to erotic power,
and freedom from the weight of trauma.

Every session is bespoke to you and is built on three things…

3 Guiding Pillars

  1. Trauma-Informed

I recognise that life brings experiences that can impact our sense of self, our relationship to others and the world.

Throughout our time together:

𖦹 I centre your voice — especially your yes and your no

𖦹 I centre your choice

𖦹 I work with you to build safety in the body

𖦹 Consent and communication run through every stage

𖦹 We move at the pace that's right for you

𖦹 We move with awareness of your
nervous system

I have supported survivors of trauma and marginalised communities for over ten years.

2. Magic & Modern

I weave together ancient wisdom and modern philosophy, because there are many routes
to flourishing.

My work draws on:

𖦹 Tantric philosophy and practice

𖦹 Energy healing techniques, including Reiki

𖦹 Western magic and esoteric knowledge — sex magic, Jungian shadow work

𖦹 Psychosynthesis (a psycho-spiritual therapeutic approach connecting your everyday self to a deeper sense of purpose)

𖦹 Somatic IFS (working with the different parts of yourself, in the body)

All of this has been studied, certified, or embodied through years of personal practice.

I recognise pleasure, sensuality, connection and the erotic (shared and solo) as a force for awakening and good in our lives.

I believe:

𖦹 You deserve to receive

𖦹 Shame can limit you, and it can be undone

𖦹 Saying yes to your own desire has power

𖦹 Eroticism is life-force energy, not just sex

𖦹 Pleasure is your birth-right

𖦹 It's possible to rewire the nervous system so pleasure feels safe again

Whether pleasure feels close by or far away, my work helps you to embrace feeling good.

3. Pleasure-Centred

Devotion
Ceremonial Yoni Massage

My central offering. A three-hour ceremony tending to every part of you; including, if it's right for you, internal bodywork.

People come to Devotion for many reasons:

  • Low self-confidence, and a longing to feel empowered in yourself

  • Numbness through the body and the pelvic bowl

  • Disconnection from pleasure and sensuality, with yourself or others

  • Carrying emotions or sensations from past experiences such as medical or sexual trauma

  • Changes in libido or lust, and wanting to reconnect with your sexual self

  • Wanting to claim and increase your sensual, erotic power

“I feel a new connection with my yoni which after years of disconnect has been a deeply beautiful experience.

I truly think EVERY woman should have this experience.”
— Kate

My Training

As a therapeutic practitioner, I pride myself on my professionalism and dedication to continuous learning so I can hold you with wisdom and skill.

  • Priestess: Ceremonial Trauma-Informed Yoni Massage (The Wild Fem)

  • Body Massage, and Anatomy & Physiology — Level 3

  • Integrative Somatic Parts Work, Levels 1–3 (The Embody Lab)

Touch is the original mother tongue: with us from birth to death, able to reach and change every person who receives it, especially when it is applied skilfully.

Touch is part of my witchcraft practice.
It is honest, wholesome and potent.
Its effects deepen over years of practice.

My hands are often described as magic: they help people to feel incredible.

Hi, I’m Ellie

I believe our bodies are sites of magic, and that pleasure is a guiding light capable of transforming us.

My work is shaped by six years of practice with a focus on trauma, witchcraft and magic.
