Majbrit Villadsen
Facilitator (In Training)Copenhagen, Denmark
Do you know the feeling of being all head and no body? We’re so busy trying to get everything done in less time, and while that may be an admirable skill, it doesn’t do anything for our inner connection, our sensual fulfillment, or for our sense of relaxation. Since 2010 I have supported people to become more present and connected in their bodies, so they feel more joy, energy, pleasure. A lifelong explorer of soulful touch, awareness, intimacy and communication, I offer tantric massage, private sessions and workshops. Since 2016, the Wheel of Consent has shaped the way I work, and supported me to live with greater authenticity. www.soulbliss.dk

Puma_ Bettie Höflich
Facilitator (In Training)Berlin, Germany
I am a nonbinary person. My pronouns are they or Puma. My passion is to bring people closer to what they REALLY want. I believe in the fact, that we can expand our boundaries and explore more if we feel safer in the environment we are in. We all are good in “going along” with stuff. Coming close to our vulnerabilities brings us more to ourselves. Either in my 1:1 sessions with indivuals and queer couples or in my workshops, I bring people more into the state of being and less into the doing. I work mostly with queers, trans and nonbinaries or people who are willing to ask any binaries in general. Website: www.magictouch-radicalconsent.com

I’m James and I’m a professional Cuddlist, Reiki practitioner, intimacy coach, and yoga teacher. Many feel disconnected or alone; lack voice, choice or agency in knowing and communicating what they want or need; or feel deprived of human touch. The Wheel of Consent is a primary building block that I introduce from the beginning when coaching new clients. You learn and experience conscious touch, empowered agency, creating and communicating boundaries, and asking for what you want.
