Together, Elara and Jon have founded Sacred Light Tantra, Sacred Light Community and The
Pathways Studio, Manchester, UK. They teach many different modalities such as Tantra, Tantra Massage, Bioenergetics, Reiki, Ho’oponopono, Conscious Touch and Boundaries and Consent and and have taught across Europe.
In addition to the above, they teach the following year-long programmes which allow you to go deeper in these areas:
- Transformational Tantra Massage, has been developed to set a benchmark and standard for what Tantra Massage can stand for at its the pinnacle. The training is about learning to receive and give tantra massage as an initiation into tantra, a gateway to personal transformation. www.transformationaltantramassage.co.uk
- Bioenergetics, follows the evolution of the work initiated by Wilhelm Reich through practical exercises. This training is for those who would like to explore more therapeutically their own energy and aliveness, how it has shaped them and, in so doing, understand not only themselves more deeply but others around them. The Path of Energy – Bioenergetics
Jon Gosling
A certified tantra massage practitioner, tantra and bioenergetics teacher with the Paths of Transformation, a Certified Sexological Bodyworker & Somatic Sex Educator, certified energy healer and a workshop facilitator and coach with over 30 years’ experience (see list of qualifications below).
He is not a psychotherapist but does work with beliefs and mindfulness, recognising that our thoughts about ourselves shape who we are. These feelings are not just held in the mind but also in stored in the body (as holding and tension) and he will work with this if appropriate.
Jon loves supporting people to expand their capacity for their love, excitement and joy through their physical and energy body, finding their full energy rather than just experiencing life through the conditioned mind.
He is passionate about his work whilst being fully supportive of the outcome you are trying to achieve. Whatever modality he works with you, it will always be for your benefit and within your consent (but not at the expense of his boundaries either) and he will be honest and open with you keeping appropriate confidences at all times.
Whilst he has done much study, he does not profess to be an expert of you but rather an experienced guide to empower you to find what you are seeking. When you become personally empowered then you are more likely to bring sustainable change into your own life.
As he says, “I will not profess to understand exactly what you are experiencing, even if it may be similar to my experience, but I can walk alongside you and support you as you journey to a destination of your choosing. After all, if you were about to climb a mountain would you chose someone who had learnt the theory or had actually done it or, better still, done both?”,

Jon is a co-founder of Sacred Light Tantra and sees himself as a “Body Awakener” who supports people to connect with themselves through the body rather than experiencing primarily through the conditioned mind. He works with people to use the body as a gateway into new and expanded experiences. Enabling them to experience and understand themselves more deeply. He is passionate about the nurturing power of touch and is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, a trained sexologist and somatic educator and Tantric practitioner and teacher. He offers experiential learning opportunities through consciousness that are designed to help individuals to access self-connection, profound erotic and ecstatic states and, if desired, sacred sexuality, allowing them to better express their desires and deepen their erotic capacity and connection to the Universe. Jon also has a one to one private practice at www.nurturebytouch.co.uk
Elara is a co-founder of Sacred Light Tantra which takes people on a journey towards intimacy, aliveness and integrating their spirituality and sexuality toward achieving higher consciousness.
She is a Reiki Master/Teacher, a medium, spiritual guide and coach and also a Certified Sexological Bodyworker and Psychosexual Somatics Therapist. With a grounding in both spirit and the body she brings these wisdoms into her Tantric teachings together with a mindfulness approach. Her passion is helping people to let go of what stands in their way of full consciousness through emotional, energetic and physical release. The energy from emotions can get imprinted into our physical bodies as cellular memory, and Elara specialises in bodywork to support the release of this. Elara is passionate in helping people work with what stops them from forming deep, meaningful and intimate relationships.
She works with acceptance and love in all aspects of who you are and uses the power of Tantra to transform and connect with the divine. For it is only when we are integrated and healed in both aspects of spirituality and sexuality that we can find true connection with our self and every aspect in the world around us.
Elara also has a one-to-one private practice at: www.somatic-awakenings.com
