Meet Hakima TANTRIKA

Hi there,

my name is Hakima Tantrika, and I’m a tantra teacher who has embodied the essence of tantra for the past twelve years. From Asia to South America, I have traveled the world, dedicating myself to the extensive study of tantric cosmo-vision. Before becoming a facilitator and a trainer myself, I studied under the best tantra teachers in the world.

On top of teaching tantra, I’m also an intimacy, love, and relationship coach. I’ve trained with the Gottman Institute and the Non-Violent Communication Institute. I’ve studied areas such as trauma release-focused coaching, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Through my education and practice, I’ve developed a unique understanding of the human psyche, body, and sexuality.

As a writer, influencer, and educator, I share all of my knowledge on my blog, which has had nearly 2 million visitors and 11K followers. I’m also a copywriter for several worldwide clients who have chosen me for my expertise in my field.

I’m multilingual and speak French, English, Japanese, and Spanish fluently.

What’s my story?

I spent many years of my life in Japan, frustrated and alone. I had grown very disconnected from my emotions and needs.

Yet, during these sour years, I still had a guilty pleasure: I binge-read books about psychology, eastern philosophy, and sexology. I wanted to understand why human relationships were so complicated and why we were sexual beings. I would probably have earned a PhD in psychology and sexology if I had enrolled in college again (laughs).

Instead, I quit Japan and my job and joined a school of tantra and shamanism. I had heard that tantra helps people reconnect with themselves and heal from body armor. And that was true!

After spending a few months in training, I reconnected with my emotions & needs and shredded a lot of emotional layers. As I got rid of shame, guilt, and fear, I slowly reconnected with my body, and my desire extended beyond what I expected. It was like a rebirth!

Today, I’m helping others reconnect with their body.

What are the key milestones along my journey?

As of November 2022, I have written more than 230 blog posts which have received nearly 2 million views! I also have also facilitated several retreats and festivals worldwide, holding spaces for groups of up to 110 people and trained 800+ future tantra teachers.

What are some struggles I encountered along my path?

I’m a tantra teacher surrounded by people interested in spirituality. But I’m also a teacher surrounded by narcissists of all kinds. It includes business owners who prey on the money and vulnerability of people interested in improving themselves. Unfortunately, I discovered this reality the hard way.

What would I wish I had known when I started out?

I wish someone had told me what tantra is before embarking on this journey. It is not what most people think. At least, it is not what I thought it was before quitting everything to dedicate my life to learning tantra (laughs). Little had I known that ninety-nine percent of the tantric teachings have nothing to do with sex!  But you can learn more about what tantra is in my FAQ.

What am I working on next?

I have so many projects on the making! Please keep an eye on my upcoming events or sign-up to my newsletter to know more.

What I'd like to say to everyone afraid of healing with tantra?

You are missing out on the great potentialities that your body holds. Your challenges might only get bigger if you repress and ignore your feelings, needs, & deepest desires! Tantra can support you, but it requires choosing authenticity and practicing vulnerability. If you embark on this journey, do your due diligence and choose a practitioner you can feel safe with. Be careful of spiritual narcissists and some tantra school leaders. Trust your gut if you don't “feel” who's in front of you.
