Welcome to Our Temple

Annette Ephroni, PMHNP, APRN, ABS

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Tantra Teacher, Intimacy Coach
My passion is working through obstacles that keep us from the wonder, awe, and joy that I believe are our most natural response to the shimmering web of Life.  
I bring 20 years of practice in psychiatry and psychotherapy to my work, creating deeply personal containers for expansion and authentic transformation. I love helping people understand how their unique stories, with their complex dynamics, challenges, and even wounds, can become paths to wildly singular pleasure, meaning, and love.

Ilana Grace, LMT, ABS

Relationship & Sex Coach, Massage Therapist, Tantra Teacher
My passion is helping people access more pleasure, self-trust, and relational freedom. I love supporting a life of truth, turn-on, and aliveness, welcoming the full spectrum of being human.
I weave together specializations in massage therapy, Tantra, sex coaching, and conflict resolution. What emerges is is a trauma-informed and compassionate environment of curiosity, consent, creativity and play. Personalized sessions are tailored to your specific needs and may include bodywork, as well as sex, relationship and Tantra coaching.

We honor the spectrum of human experience, embracing life not as something to transcend, but as a sacred laboratory for self-discovery. We deeply respect authentic expression and challenge conditioning by engaging diverse perspectives, embodying many positions, and expanding beyond limitations—trusting the path of fully living, not escaping our humanity. 

We welcome people of all ages, genders and non-genders, sexual orientations or asexuals, family and relationship constellations, ethnic identities, spiritual paths, and levels of experience.
