Welcome to Our Temple

Annette Ephroni, PMHNP, MSN, 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 more than 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.

My passion is empowering people to 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.

Our Story

Living and Serving in the Temple

We met studying Skydancing Tantra. In the Tantric temple, Ilana's backdrop of Judaism followed by Pagan and Earth-based spirituality found unexpected resonance with Annette's Pentecostal Christian upbringing. In these early explorations, we found ourselves reconciling past spiritual awakenings with a living, breathing experience of emerging spirituality. We shared excitement about discovering paths that are ecstatic, embodied, and deeply immanent—honoring the sacred in the ordinary, and inviting the Divine into everyday life.

As our spiritual connection deepened, so did our lives. Annette's two decades as a psychotherapist and Ilana's massage therapy practice began to weave together in rich and complementary ways. We trained in the Somatica® Method to gain practical, actionable tools for working with sex, intimacy, and relationship. We found ourselves teaching embodiment classe and supporting clients who were ready to move beyond the limits of talk therapy alone.

Through this work, we witnessed a truth that had first drawn us together: that profound, co-created experiences stretch people in ways we wouldn’t have known to seek, and awaken aliveness we didn’t know was missing.

Today, we are married. Tasting Life Temple is not only our business—it is our home, our sacred space, and our shared devotional path. We live what we teach, and we welcome others into this living temple: a place where the body is honored, emotions are sacred, love is a practice, and the Divine is invited to dance in all its forms.

Tasting Life Temple is born of the desire to help others awaken to ecstatic aliveness through their own transformative encounters.
