Hi, I’m ieva!
I’m a kink and sex educator. Currently based in Vilnius, Lithuania, where I do in-person and online consultations in both Lithuanian and English.
My Background
When I first started studying therapeutic and somatic work, one question kept coming in: ‘but what about sexuality’? It seemed that certain topics and parts of the body where literally still out of bounds for most somatic healing work. For me, however – a person who was involved in sex positive and kink communities for many years – this seemed a missing key. So I dug deeper and discovered sexological bodywork and somatic sex education. I then studied at the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education where with an amazing collective of mentors and colleagues I delved deep into holding space for clients using consent, somatic awareness, anatomy, neuroscience, sexological bodywork, ritual, movement therapy, nature and more.
I’m also a public speaker. I’ve lectured at KinkyPink parties, Sapfo festival, Yaga festival, Loftas festival, Mo Museum, The Queery, Limits Club, International Eros Festival, private events and many online lectures with The Pleasure Union.
My Practice Values and Approach
Holding space for you as you are and celebrating your pleasure are my key values.
I am also kink-aware, LGBT+ focused and non-monogamy normative which means I don’t think there is one right way to have relationships or be sexual.
Additionally, I strive for my practice to be sex positive, counter-normative, de-colonial, non-pathologising, trauma-informed, pleasurable, fun and creative.
In all the services I provide, my approach is kind, honest and direct. I believe that every human deserves a kind and loving space to explore their sexuality. To do this, I want to create a space where my clients can finally feel safer and empowered to choose, be seen, celebrate themselves and their innate wisdom, and perhaps, to heal and transform.
I am a member of Somatic Sex Educators Association and I pledge by the Code of Ethics of the Somatic Sex Educators Association.
