Welcome! Namaste!
I am Karina, a Tantra massage therapist and teacher of both: tantric massage and tantric sexuality.
It was a long process to find my bearings in life
When I was younger, I spent my days dreaming. I dreamt of becoming an archeologist, famous writer, psychiatrist, journalist, lawyer, prosecutor, actress, mother, traveler. I always wanted to become someone, I just didn’t know which to choose from. That led me to question whether it was even me who wanted those things.
Before 40, however, I succeeded in becoming the proud mother of two wonderful boys and a lawyer. In this case, some of my dreams had come true, although most certainly not all of them were fulfilled yet and I was feeling empty.
One day…
In 2018, I decided to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and relocated to the golden sandy beaches of the Cabo Verde Islands. It was here, whilst losing myself in the pages of “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, that I began to drift and become one with the calm turquoise waves along the horizon. At one point, I fully merged with them, my mind stopped, my body became as light as a feather, my soul was free like a surfer gliding across the highest of waves. As I looked down a sentence stuck out of all the rest, it said “Everything is energy”. Little did I know that this glimpse of truth would accompany me along an unexpected and extraordinary path.
The trauma turned out to be a blessing…
In September 2020, during the pandemic, I gave birth to my second son Leonardo. A new life for him, and at the same time I had to fight for mine. He was born by C-section, strong and healthy with curious blue eyes. While his world had just started, mine was literally crumbling away. All my internal organs were failing, one by one, but I had in my defense something really precious – THE POWER OF MY MIND. This weapon became the command center for the rest of my body.
Before the main surgery, my chances of survival were 50/50. Even at this moment I could have given up, but I did not. After my body had slowly started giving up, at one point something magical happened. After I crossed the threshold of life and death, I found myself in a place with no fears, expectations, pain or sense of loss, just blissful silence. I realized I didn’t want to fight anymore. All I wanted was to surrender and let go. In this moment I felt love like never before, I was pure energy.
This fight ended after 3 weeks of immense pain and suffering. It was tough but also a blessing.
“Now enter that silence.
This is the surest way
to lose yourself. . . “
I was proven there are no coincidences
Everything happens for a reason. These two moments in my life were no mere coincidences. Tantra found me at the right time when I was ready. I decided to quit my ‘normal’ job and completely devote myself to my spiritual development and the evolution of my soul. I started my education under the guidance and direction of Somananda Tantra School and completed over 700 hours of study and certificate training. And that was just the beginning. I continue my journey as a student of Tantra yoga.
Why the name “ocean without shores”?
I love the ocean. The power, vastness, depth of the ocean humble me and makes me put my life into perspective. Whenever I look at the ocean I see the bigger picture. Whenever I walk along its shoreline, my thoughts calm down and fly away like swallows. Whenever I get out from its embracing blue waters, I always feel reborn.
