I offer to tie you in wrappings of love. This holding of space opens up as an invitation to surrender, let go, fall into safety and expand. In this space we can step out of the way of our selves and allow healing to happen. I offer this space in the form of a tantric shibari session.
In addition of holding safe space I do my best to step out of my own way and act as a channel for love. This flow of love bring us all the elements that the session requires. It's rather typical that sexual energy flows strongly in my sessions. Compared to more "conventional" shibari, the sessions emphasize presence, connectedness, holistic embodiment and love.
Details concerning sessions
Life seems to be guiding me clients that have
Sexual trauma
Unnecessarily rigid control
Rejection towards oneself
I help these people to breathe and flow more freely. Often this involves either some kind of restorative experience or the release of energy that has been stored in the body.
My sessions benefit most people that already have a felt sense, or a way to connect and listen to their own body. Personally I believe that the body has the ability to heal from all trauma, given that the person is sufficiently resourced and the body is allowed enough space to heal. If embodiment or connection to your body is something you're still looking for, most likely it will become a significant theme on the session. My sesions don't require experience on shibari, whereas prior experience from tantra definitely benefits the client.
Letting go of trying, struggle and rejecting yourself
Sessions include
Starting conversation, where we discuss for example intentions and hard boundaries
Active tying/session phase (which we often slide into via exercises and movement)
Integration that possibly includes sharing
Two principles that I keep on telling all the people I tie with
All your feelings are welcome here
You don't need to tolerate anything you don't wish to tolerate
My sessions often end up being highly sexual. I do my best to honor the boundaries of my clients. I wish for and support clear communication of boundaries and wishes before, during and after the session.

My name is Janne Räsänen. I'm a tantrika with a background in engineering. My identity is currently formed most around love.
I say what I mean and mean what I say.
My spiritual path started in 2004 through yoga and sitting meditation. From the year 2016 neotantra has been a very strong part of my path. You can find more details by clicking the link directly below.
Details about my trainings and views
I have drawn mainly from the two following streams:
Trans-Himalayan Teachings (including The Cross) and Transactional Analysis - both taught by Taki'h Dhyandepa Antigoni
WHT-world + Tantric Life Coach -training - taught by Shanti Limnell and her wonderful students
In the world of shibari and BDSM I've learned a lot about taking, surrendering and holding space, as well as play and flow.
Zazen and yoga have offered me a beautiful base on top of which to develop myself in an embodied way.
My path has weaved through various meditative and embodied practices, such as yoga, sitting meditation, dance, shibari and BDSM already from the year 2004. Consciously tantric path I've been walking since the year 2016.
Through Trans-Himalayan teachings I opened up to the esoteric viewpoints on life.
I collect different points of view into my bag like tools, that I then apply in various situations. I fluently speak both engineer and soul. I am open.
I have had the pleasure and privilige to facilitate various tantric workshops and sex-positive events. Before shibari, I also did treatments with de-armouring and aguahara.
Strong connection to nature and the earth has always nourished me. Since my childhood dancing has offered me a way to be connected with my body - way before I had any words to explain the experience.
I make use of polarities (including feminine - masculine) from the tantric world without getting stuck with musty notions regarding sex, sexuality or relating.

A session typically takes about three hours, including the conversations at both ends. I recommend a relaxed and flexible schedule after the session. Stuff might come up that requires some processing time from you. I also recommend wearing clothes that support your intentions and to avoid all big hard parts in your clothing (that might get stuck between rope and body). I don't take intoxicated clients.
I offer full money back guarantee. If the session doesn't meet your criterias, let's have a conversation and most likely you will get your money back. If I have cancel a session, I primarily try to reschedule with the client. Please make sure that the contact info you give me are up to date.
