Maria Cheung is a compassionate Somatic Pleasure Coach in mind, body, spirit, sex and relating. She is an American Board Certified Clinical Sexologist (ID:23917), specializing in sexual yoga, with over 15 years of experience in the healthcare industry. She has a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Cell Biology from McGill University, and a Master Degree in Public Health, specializing in socio-behavioural studies from the University of Waterloo. She is also honoured to come from a family of Doctors in Traditional Chinese Medicine (her great grandfather) and is continuing this weaving of eastern holistic indigenous healing wisdom by graduating from the ONLY government accredited school in the world for Authentic Tantra® from the Institute for Authentic Tantra Education, in Kelowna BC, Canada. She is specifically trained in teaching methods derived from the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism (secular) alongside her western neuroscience (eg. polyvagal theory), and sociobehavioural science (eg.non-violent communication) background.

Combining methods in Western and Eastern medicine, she guides her clients through a proven program specializing in sexual yoga as an Authentic Tantra® Practitioner. Her methods combine dimensions in Meditation, Connection, Pleasure and Movement to self-heal, applying a holistic trauma-informed and somatic approach, integrating growth both in the bedroom and into your life.

On a personal note, she too has struggled with and been on a decade long healing journey. She ended a traumatic engagement through infidelity at 25, came out as bisexual and polyamorous, and has spoken out about her period of suicidal thoughts through all of this. Throughout she’s had the (often painful and curious) opportunity to observe the impact of our personal mindset, community pressures, societal systems and cultures on suffering through sensitive or taboo experiences and identities. Along the way, she too resisted, avoided, and fumbled until she developed new skills in a compassionate mindset combined with more sophisticated tools and habits, developed in a safe community, to navigate all of it now, with more ease, grace and even humour.

Today, she finds great joy and fulfilment in diving deep and in dedication to her clients and audiences on their healing journeys in sexual health, pleasure, intimate relationships and in life. Her approach is both playful and compassionate, warm and wise. She believes in meeting her clients where they are, and teaching them to self-heal through the wisdom of their own beautiful bodies.

Outside of the clinic you’ll find Maria making time to meditate, rock climb, paddle board, ski or dance any chance she gets.

Maria offers coaching to individuals and couples to meet their unique pleasure needs and goals.
