We were lucky to catch up with Naomi Slater recently and have shared our conversation below.

Naomi, appreciate you joining us today. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.

I started my practice because I had a burning passion for three main things:
1) To be independent and make my own rules
2) I wanted to teach the knowledge that transformed my life and relationship
3) I deeply desired to help and guide others on their journey of healing and evolution

The first step I had to take was deciding that I was going all in!! I had to overcome my fears and limiting beliefs around what I thought I was capable of and also learn to feel comfortable with the ebbs and flows of being an independent business owner.

I think one of the best decisions I made early on was to take a course on how to create an online business. In general, I think that seeking counsel from others is incredibly important if you want to be a successful leader and business owner.

Of course there is a process, but overtime it becomes increasingly important to learn how to delegate and build a trustworthy team. You shouldn’t be doing everything and running a tight business requires the expertise of multiple people. I am now in the process of scaling-up – so I am also speaking to myself here – ha!

Team building is a worthwhile investment that will pay you back over time. Also…know that every single ‘successful’ person started out with lots of failure. Failure is a part of the learning process and it is how you build resilience and evolve. Just because you didn’t generate your expected results certainly doesn’t mean you should stop trying. Learn your lessons and try again!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Although my relationship with my husband started out super passionate with amazing sex, after having a bunch of kids I found myself feeling burnt out and with no libido. I had lost my desire, in more ways than one. We were fighting more – my partner felt rejected and I felt suffocated.

We decided to explore Tantra and the Tao as a way to heal ourselves and our relationship. It was through this process that we reawakened our desire, sensuality and experienced mind-blowing lovemaking experiences that we didn’t know were possible. It is through my own transformational process that I came to help women and other couples heal themselves and their relationships.

I had to unlearn some destructive patterns and beliefs I had around sexuality, relating, and my power and pleasure.

Although I was always very sexual, I had shut down and disconnected from my power because of a lack of self-confidence and inner knowing. I discovered that connecting to my pleasure is a fast-tracked path to healing, spirituality and self-awareness!

By focusing on “doing” and “being” rather than just talking, I help clients rewire their energy bodies for true transformation. My sessions and courses are dynamic, guiding clients to actively shift their energy and break free from limiting patterns for a more fulfilling connection.

I believe it is everyone’s birthright to awaken their desire and experience blissful love – this relationship starts with ourselves and how we relate to our own life-force energy.

I am a spiritual guide and transformational coach that uses a blend of modern psychoanalytic tools, ancient energetic practices, and embodiment work to support women and couples in overcoming sexual, emotional and relationship challenges. My holistic approach addresses deeper layers of intimacy struggles that go beyond traditional talk therapy.

With over 15 years of experience, I have worked with hundreds worldwide through courses, individual sessions, and my signature 3-month online courses for women, Awaken Your Desire and a 6-week self-guided couples course, Divine Couples. I am also the host of the Divine Couples podcast and have appeared on top podcasts and in notable publications, including GOSS and Brainz Magazine.

My coaching is informed by a rich spiritual journey, extensive studies in Tantra, Taoism, yoga and bio-energy healing, as well as academic degrees in Psychology and Conflict Management. A devoted wife and mother of three, I bring a unique blend of life experience and spiritual insight into my work, supporting others in living with passion, pleasure, and fulfillment.

Here are some of the things you will learn if you work with me:
• Learn the foundations of Tantra and Tantric lovemaking
• Learn how to master your own sexual energy and turn-on
• Explore polarity and the laws of attraction
• Experience the advanced energetics of orgasm and lovemaking
• Learn to identify, value and communicate your emotions
• Explore ancient embodiment practices to release trapped emotion
• Learn how to circulate your life-force energy in the body
• Understand the connection between your emotions and sexual energy
• Learn IMAGO – a form of emotions-based communication
• Learn new and tantalizing types of touch
• Create consent around touch and explore new and exciting desires and fantasies
• Resolve differences in levels of desire and affection
• Gain deeper levels of sensitivity that enhance enjoyment and connection
• Build confidence in giving and receiving pleasure
• Connect to your movement, breath and sound to increase your presence and pleasure in lovemaking
• Learn massage techniques that release trauma and enhance pleasure

I am here to guide you in your search for unbounding pleasure and fulfillment from your life, relationship and sex. Our relationships and sexual energy are an indication of how we are in life in general – therefore doing this inner work affects all aspects of our BEING.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I think the most important thing for succeeding in my field is maintaining a personal self-love practice. From my experience, this practice needs to be rooted in movement, breath, pleasure, meditation and gratitude. You have to practice what you preach and everything that I teach has been experienced first hand.

I find that when my personal self-love practice isn’t in the forefront, I lose energy and vitality. I am not fully in my element, my passion and purpose.

Many people think it is another’s responsibility to keep them turned-on. That outlook is very disempowering because you are essentially giving your power away to another person. A self-love practice teaches us to move our energy and makes us realize that our turn-on is OURS.
When you learn to master your energy, you learn to master your life!

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I think an important part of my reputation building has been sharing my personal journey, which includes struggles, sickness, love, triumphs, grief, joy and more…

I am not here to tell people that my life is perfect – there is struggle involved. Any good coach or facilitator has done the work themselves and is constantly working to make themselves better. It is a never-ending process but one in which you learn tools to constantly heal yourself.

I think I am relatable and I easily connect to others. I have been told that I have a very grounding and warm energy and that people feel that I see them. I also love to laugh and have fun with my clients. My reputation has been built through working with people that needed my medicine and that felt big transformations in their lives after working with me.
It is their testimonials and experiences that have built my practice.
