Hello, my name is Cynthia Williams and I am an Authentic Tantra® Practitioner and a Certified Sexologist.
I graduated from the Institute of Authentic Tantra® in 2022. I’ve been a Massage Therapist and Reiki Master for almost 30 years. What brought me to this junction in my life? I was lost sexually and didn’t know why. I always felt as if something was missing or maybe I was broken. As a Mother of 3 adult kids and 2 Grandkids. I didn’t know if it was too late to reconnect and heal. What I’ve learned is it’s never to late and you have to heal from the root and not from the branches and this is what Authentic Tantra taught me. It helped me heal all may deep-seated roots. I would love to pass this healing on to you.
My programs are for Yoni Owner (Vaginas). Lingam Owner (Penises) and for Couples. This includes the amazing LBGT community. Men you are not and never will be forgotten. I have an entire Session dedicated to you and you only.

Julie Light
Authentic Tantra® Practitioner
Kitchener, ONTARIO
Julie Light (she/her) is a Registered Nurse, Tibetan 5 Element Tantra Practitioner, Certified Sexologist with the American Board of Sexology, and an Embodied Intimacy and Relationship Coach. From the clinical hallways of GI nursing to the expansive heart of Texas and now the vibrant community of Kitchener, her life’s work has been a continuous exploration of what it means to be truly “home” in one’s body. As a somatic practitioner, Julie is passionate about connecting people with their most authentic selves through embodied practice – the art of listening to the wisdom that lives in our hearts and tissues.
Most of us are walking around following a script we didn’t write, operating on a “default” narrative of how we should feel, love, and connect. Julie’s passion lies in unwinding the layers of shame and unpacking the hidden blocks that might not even be visible to us, yet are quietly running our lives. She approaches this work like looking at an internal operating system – the deep, subconscious programs that dictate how we show up in our bodies and our bedrooms. Often, there is something right under the surface, a hidden driver that needs to be brought into the light to understand why someone isn’t feeling as vibrant or connected as they could be.
When working with Julie, clients explore these layers together, moving at the speed of trust. She believes there is always something more waiting – a deeper level of intimacy, a more profound sense of joy, and a clearer connection to one’s inner self. Julie loves getting into the gears of what makes a person tick, helping them discover the specific sparks that make their sex life and their inner spirit light up. By combining her medical background with Tibetan 5 Element Tantra, she offers a space where clients can investigate their inner world with bravery and playfulness -moving past shame and into the light.

In a world that seems to value opening doors and closing windows, Mel seeks to bring voice to the between, the hallway, the spaces of transition that make up the bulk of our lives, and hold so much richness, if we dare to look. Mel’s work guides people back into their bodies and their own profound wisdom.
Mel adores queering tantra and is an advocate and celebrator of the unique, the divergent, the difference, that is a part of all of us and challenges folks to look beyond limits, binaries and either/or thinking and back into the fullness of who they really are!!!
Laurie McCracken, RN
Costa Rica
As a former nun, oncology nurse, holistic health coach and energy medicine practitioner, I never imagined I would become a Certified Authentic Tantra® Practitioner and Sexologist! However, it’s a perfect fit!!
I am passionate about raising pleasure consciousness in the world; about supporting the healing and transformation needed to re-unite our sexuality with our spirituality. I know personally the emotional, physical and mental trauma this “disconnect” can create in one’s life.
