about nirvana

hi i am niv. i love to share with you what i know and embody.

I see a deep need for better quality, pleasure-based education. For most people, we struggle at times with intimacy, eroticism and sex in our closest relationships because we haven't been given the right tools to guide us. Being more resourced for the potentially thrilling journey called our erotic lives can make all the difference.  This support can not only help our sexual experiences but also impact and ripple into every aspect of our life.

I am and have been many things to many people. I have taught in the schooling system as well as taught yoga, circus and mindful erotic practices.  I hold dear all the relationships in my life and enjoy experiencing the uniqueness each of those. I value the training, support and connections I had and have made that developed my relationship to pleasure, playfulness, the erotic and to the essence of life. I am nature being and esp love trees. Yet I wish I spent more time in it. I love to move and be in my body.

Because people read you as strong, powerful and as a leader, they may not know you are vulnerable, soft, caring, loving, generous, funny and kind. one special thing about you is how deeply kinaesthetic you are. it’s one of your superpowers. also, your background knowledge into your physicality means you have much information and embodied knowing about bodies.”

~ Churaig, mentor and coach in sexological bodywork

I take time to build relationships with clients. I relish the stories we all have.  I work well with humans who are neurodiverse or queer or those who sit outside of the “norm.”  I enjoy sharing this work with people who live with disabilities. My aim is to develop agency to all who come to me. 

I provide a non-judgmental space for people to share their desires, concerns or quirks.  My ease at working with bodies allows any nervousness from clients to shift as they navigate shame, issues or worries they might have or embark with hands on bodywork.

Sessions begin with an intention.  Combined with 30+ years of history within bodywork, 20 years of teaching, a lifetime of movement and my developed internal instincts, I work co-creatively with clients.  What this means is that we work together to create an experience.  

In somatic sex coaching, I aim to educate and provide learning to support changes you desire. In a tantric touch session or erotic enhancement experience, we discuss and together work to establish the pleasure based experience that YOU truly want. 

By nature I am curious and playful.  I am also someone who likes to dive deep into the things that I enjoy or are passionate about.  I aim to lean into emotions and feelings. I love geek out in conversation in my preferred topics.  I love a good dance.

The choosing is more important than the doing …

​​ive wandered paths less travelled. when i feel the call in my body, often a subtle pull, i get curious and see where that takes me. it has led me to various movement and mindfulness practices, people and travelling the globe and to explore movement and erotic embodiment.
