Know Me Better
I look forward to being your experienced guide and hedonic engineer
Pleasure for pleasure’s sake is great,
but pleasure to deepen mindfulness and increase presence in the here and now is what truly takes us places.
I call this "Conscious Hedonism."
INTRODUCING:
LADY CLAIRE ERICE
I AM ABOVE ALL ELSE A TEACHER, A SENSUAL ARTIST, AND A GUIDE INTO THE REALM OF CONSCIOUS HEDONISM!
After a serious illness made its way into my life at the end of 2022, I realized that Claire Noelle was the version of myself who found her way to the sensual healing arts when I was in my late 20s.
I decided that I no longer wanted to carry forward the energy and intentions of that younger part of myself on the other side of my healing journey. So Claire Noelle dissolved during my 2023 healing sabbatical and a new version of myself emerged.
Allow me to acquaint you with my new identity as
Lady Claire Erice
Lady – I am no longer the young girl I was when I began my journey with Tantra and the sensual healing arts. All these years later I know who I am and have grown into my full adult self: refined, sophisticated and experienced.
Claire – My commitment is always to be a “clear channel”
Erice (pronounced “AIR-eess”, or – if we were in Italy, “EH-ree-chay”).
You can call me Lady Claire for short.
About Erice
Erice is an unforgettably beautiful hilltown in Sicily that was known in ancient times for having a temple dedicated to an expression of the Goddess Venus known as Venus Erycina. Throughout the centuries, it was believed that in Erice there were priestesses of the goddess of love who practiced the art of sacred sexual rites and that pilgrims would journey to the summit of Mount Eryx (Erice) to honor the goddess Venus (Aphrodite).
I am of Sicilian heritage and consider myself a devotee of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Erotic Freedom, so naturally I feel an affinity for this town and its unique and mythical “herstory”. As I emerge into a new expression of myself and my work, the name Erice feels like a beautiful ancestral expression of this newness for me.
The best way to describe me is part sensual energy artist, part somatic guide, part pleasure activist, and part hedonic engineer. I bring more than 15 years worth of experience with sexual and somatic education alongside shamanic and Tantric training and my own style of pleasure activism and emotional intelligence to each session, inviting you to explore your erotic blueprints and evolve your natural erotic sensibilities.
I’m 5’2″, 115 lbs, 36 B with short brown hair in a pixie cut, sultry green eyes, a petite yoga body, a playful sense of humor, an open mind, and lots of southern charm.
A BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND
Aside from being a bodyworker specializing in nourishing bodywork, I hold a bachelor’s degree in human sexuality and am currently pursuing a Masters degree in clinical sexology with an emphasis on sex coaching for empaths and highly sensitive people (HSPs).
I have completed many years of study in the realms of Taoist and Tantric spirituality along with eight levels of the Human Awareness Institute’s sex, love and intimacy curriculum. I am a past participant in the Landmark Education Curriculum for Living, a graduate of PAX International’s “Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women” program, have completed 4 levels of the Avatar™ Course, am a life coach trained at San Francisco State University, and a counselor trained by the Interchange Counseling Institute of San Francisco.
I am also trained in the Hakomi method of somatic psychotherapy through the Hakomi Institute of California, as well as the highly effective coaching processes of the Accelerated Evolution Academy, and am expertly studied in the Erotic Blueprint™ body of work as showcased on the Netflix series “Sex, Love & Goop.” In 2023 I became a certified Urban Tantra™ practitioner trained by author & creator Barbara Carellas. Additionally, I’m a certified Bondassage™ trainer and advanced practitioner.
Teachers I have studied with include: the late Kenneth Ray Stubbs, PhD. and Michael Harner, PhD for shamanism studies; Tantra and conscious sexuality with Steve and Lokita Carter, Dez Nichols, and South Africa’s Advait Tantra School; plus BDSM trainings with Cleo Dubois, Jaeleen Bennis, and Midori, as well as other Bay Area and European Pro-Dommes. I was featured in a 2010 History Channel special about the history of Tantra as well as a 2010 DVD release called “The Path of the Sexual Shaman.”
From 2010-2017 I was a senior student of and apprentice to the late Dakini Shakti Malan, PhD., conscious sexuality teacher from Cape Town, South Africa, and between 2020-2022 was a co-director of her online school, the Shakti Shiva Academy, where I am currently a senior faculty member.
How may I be of service to your Erotic Evolution?
ABOUT YOU
You are friendly, respectful, punctual, discrete, generous, and fun. You honor me by arriving to the session at the designated time, or communicating in a timely manner if you will be late or need to reschedule. You are interested in the pleasure of the sensual arts as well as the opportunity to learn skills and awarenesses that enhance your health, well-being and relationships. You are interested in more than the surface; you crave and welcome depth.
In some way you have an interest in personal growth, mind-body-spirit connection, and spiritual inquiry. Additionally, you have an open mind and are hungry to learn how to work with your mind, body and spirit in an integrated, Tantric way. You are more than a client or hobbyist; you are a sensual seeker and erotic explorer in the noblest sense; someone interested in evolving your erotic knowledge and capacities; someone who is committed to living an erotically aware and expressed life; someone with whom I enjoy sharing this sacred work.
ABOUT OUR TIME TOGETHER
In our time together you will experience a richly nourishing environment, powerfully intuitive guidance, and a pleasurable and supportive space. I encourage you to be curious…especially about yourself. I invite you to ask questions about sexuality, intimacy, relationships, even personal growth and spiritual topics. You can expect my full attention to the needs of your body, mind and spirit. All of my training and gifts are at your service. You can expect exquisite touch, intelligent guidance, a hot shower, chocolates, lovely music, candle light, sweet smells…all the richness and beauty of the Divine Feminine.
In each session I gracefully blend the feminine archetypes of playful goddess, erotic-muse, shamanic-priestess, and wise-woman to delight and nurture you, stimulating your body, expanding your mind, and activating your spirit. It is my highest priority that in our time together new insights about your erotic Self open for you, shift for you, and come alive for you, empowering you to thrive even more in your life and relationships.
During our session I will combine touch, movement, inspiration, and instruction from the following modalities:
Traditional Swedish Bodywork, Taoist Massage, Gentle Breath Work and Meditation, Reiki and Energy Clearing, Access Consciousness BARS Points, Body and Posture Awareness, Erotic Blueprints™, Urban Tantra™ Practices, Yoga and Gentle Stretching,
Additionally, calling upon my training as a somatic coach, counselor, and Urban Tantra™ practitioner, I am equipped to create with you sessions and practices that will improve the alignment of your mind-body-and-spirit, the ways you communicate with others in relationship, and the ways in which you allow yourself to experience pleasure in life.
You, Me, Us - Explore FBSM in San Francisco
My intelligently appointed temple space is located in Oakland, Ca, near beautiful Lake Merritt. I have spent more than a decade crafting a sensual classroom, laboratory and lounge for modern seekers – novice, advanced and elite. I look forward to welcoming you to my sacred space, where you will receive a healing dose of conscious hedonism and erotic education for body, mind and spirit.
The words “Anam Cara” are a Celtic term for “Soul Friend.” Soul friend is the role I see myself playing for you above all others. A soul friend is someone with whom you can talk about anything. They withhold judgment and criticism and at most would offer constructive feedback, only if you asked for it. You feel truly heard and understood in the presence of a soul friend. You can trust them with your tender parts and you know they will honor your boundaries and be clear with theirs.
Additionally, a soul friend sees the best in you and focuses on supporting you to develop more of your truest, best, most authentic self. A soul friend is with you for dark nights and bright days, and shares an empathic resonance with you for either and both. A soul friendship ultimately cuts across all convention and category; it is one of the more unique, even rare, experiences in life.
I see it as a precious honor to be your soul friend during your journey of erotic evolution. We all need a soul friend, especially when we are exploring new and vulnerable parts of ourselves.
With Love,
