This is the Authentic Sex Podcast, real-life conversations about sex, pleasure and relationships.

I'm your host, Juliet Allen.

Welcome to episode number 153 of the Authentic Sex Podcast.

My name is Juliette Allen.

I'm a sexologist and sex and relationship coach.

And today on the podcast, I am so, so excited to be speaking with Elaine Young.

Elaine is a mentor of mine.

She is a woman who I respect very much as a facilitator and

teacher in the realms of sex, intimacy, breathwork, shamanism, all the things. Absolutely

amazing woman. And today we're speaking about pleasure energy and breath as medicine

and this conversation is awesome i mean elaine shares so much about these topics and i really

enjoyed listening to her speak elaine's journey has involved a lifelong fascination and inquiry into awareness, purpose, the human condition, love, sexuality, spiritual connection, soul wisdom, expansion, learning, unlearning, meditation, physiology, health, disease, exploring aliveness, sexuality, death

and grief. There is so much there. She's a group facilitator, educator, coach, guide and

body worker in the fields of consciousness, breath work, sacred sexuality, somatic sexology and shamanism.

Some of her certifications include a certified sexological body worker and certified shamanic

breathwork facilitator and she has 10 years experience in these fields.

She's currently offering deep dive experiential retreats known as The Journeys.

I cannot recommend these enough.

I highly recommend going to her website and finding out more.

She has been part of Istra, the International School of Temple Arts

Tribes since 2012. She is now left Easter and is bringing her work to the world in a different way.

And this is the best. Before all this, before in an earlier life, she was a diagnostic medical scientist for 20 years in research, clinical practice and direct patient care.
