TESTIMONIALS
Spontaneous focussing journey with Orlena.
I recently contacted Orlena with a support need I had. I wanted to share a struggle I was facing, and to be heard. Orlena listened attentively, in her usual focussed way – holding space for me to speak my truth freely and without judgement. I then asked for support to work through an aspect of the challenge. I was experiencing difficulty with resolving something.
We somehow ended up on a deep inward journey that I can only now remember as a profound somatic opening into new levels of freedom. I can remember layers of resistance and holding back, dissolving as Orlena gently supported me to stay with what I was noticing. At times I felt able to express my resistance in words. Orlena allowed that, and kept reminding me to sit alongside that fear and resistance to letting go. I can remember a sense of panic at times, and of shame at my need to escape and to get away from what felt like a never-ending NO to the feelings that were coming up. At times there was a feeling of relaxation and surrender, followed again by resistance and fear of going any further or deeper into letting go. Step by step, Orlena patiently led me on. I felt in control of my choices at all times. There was no pressure to stop, or to continue. Only presence. I ended up in a place of joy and celebration – of laughter and lightness. I felt an urge to dance and to run about wildly. I can still access that sense of lightness of being. My gratitude merges with this feeling of liberation.

During my sessions with Orlena, the exercises she introduced were extremely practical, and with their regular use, I can sink deeper into myself to find the gentle shelter of my inner world. I now feel more fluidity in my pelvis, which I love very much! I feel deep and intense feelings within me, which is completely new to me! My whole body began to wake up and stretch. I would definitely recommend sessions with Orlena to anyone who seeks a more genuine contact with themselves, their desires, their needs… Thank you for your supportive energy, even when I could not find the words. Thank you for your kind and gentle, but at the same time strong encouragement. I am really grateful that our paths have crossed.

I come from a family where sexuality was never discussed. Certain traumatic experiences within the nuclear family shaped my view of intimate relationship with myself and how I express intimacy within a partnership. For a long time, it was religion that gave me an excuse not to explore my sexual energy; but then life brought certain people into my path, including Orlena, who helped me get in touch with that part of myself. Sexological bodywork definitely deepened my body awareness; it challenged me to take a step out of my comfort zone and opened me up to new insights and possibilities. I realized that I am the one who makes decisions about my body and myself; that the key to deeper pleasure is in taking the time to feel rather than disassociate and rush through; that I can also allow myself to feel my intimate areas; and that my genitals also have their own voice and preferences… Orlena’s openness, acceptance, and presence helped me to connect to my sexuality more meaningfully than ever before, thereby expanding awareness of myself as a woman, as a sexual being and as a being of pleasure. What I liked most about the whole process was that Orlena and I not only talked, but connected with the body in different ways and followed its wisdom, its desires and feelings. I am definitely leaving with a new level of self-awareness, which I am slowly integrating into intimacy with my partner and into exploring my own pleasure. Thank you Orlena, meeting you was a gift to me.

Of all the tools of sexological bodywork that I have experienced with Orlena, the one that has remained strongest in my feelings and my body was anal mapping. I cannot say I did not have a relationship with my anus before, but Orlena’s approach has opened up feelings and depths unknown to me. After the mapping, I am much more aware of my anus and its importance to my sexuality, whether I am self-pleasuring or enjoying the touch and intercourse with someone else. I am grateful for this experience, which has also opened in me the transformation of certain subconscious programs—for example, hiding secrets so they are not revealed; and a loving attitude towards the parts and spaces at the back of my body.

In my eyes, Orlena is a true healer. Her sincerity and commitment to what she offers, made such a difference when I was feeling lost and in distress. Her calm presence creates the atmosphere I need to be able to deeply engage with myself and my body during our session(s) together. Our work together has felt gentle, respectful, committed and honest. She knows what she’s doing, and she does it like a pro.
