Today we’d like to introduce you to Naomi Slater
Hi Naomi, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started out as a yoga teacher almost 20 years ago. I spent time in ashrams in India, studying with gurus and was exposed to the yogic and Tantric way of life. This path changed me on a cellular level. I continued my spiritual journey that led to more yoga, bio-energy healing, Tantra and the Tao.
Although I believe that healing is a never-ending progression, I have done quite a bit of healing that has helped me physically, mentally and spiritually. Bringing the more sexual aspects of Tantra into my life awakened a deep yearning that I had been too afraid to give a voice too. I felt afraid of failure, rejection and my own power.
Through exploring my own life-force energy and its inherent connection to sexuality, I was able to awaken my desire and become a more authentic expression of myself.
It is because of my own personal experience that I have dedicated my life to teaching this knowledge through courses, private sessions and retreats worldwide.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has certainly not been a smooth road. In fact, my decision to be a relationship and intimacy coach was born out of my own personal struggles with intimacy and relationship. After our second child, I lost my libido and struggled with recurring yeast infections. As a mother to young children, I felt overworked and underappreciated all of which contributed to my lack of libido. From my experience and from having worked with hundreds of couples privately, underlying emotions, such as grief, anger and resentment will shut down the desire for intimacy.
Until these emotions are communicated, heard and processed – there won’t be much desire for intimacy. Intimacy is where we are most vulnerable – if we don’t feel held and appreciated in relationship or if we don’t trust our partner, it will be very difficult to be truly intimate. Anyone can have sex, but is that sex fulfilling, pleasureful and blissful or are you just checking off your to-do list, or worse, quietly suffering through it?
Just because something isn’t working in the relationship now, doesn’t mean it cannot work in the future. If two people recognize there is an issue and want to work on it – you can experience tremendous transformation, both as an individual and as a couple. That is what I experienced and it is why I do this work.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I help women and couples to awaken their pleasure, passion and power. I work with couples privately online and I have developed a 3-month online course for women called “Awaken Your Desire”.
I am currently developing a 6-night retreat for women that will take place in October 2025 in Tulum, Mexico to guide women into more fully embodying their emotions, sexual energy and feminine essence.
I am known for working my magic with couples that have lost their desire and helping them to find their way back to passionate love. I am also known for my grounding presence, making others feel safe to reveal their deepest desires, struggles and dreams.
Some of the medicine that I offer my clients is laughter, energy healing, uprooting limiting beliefs, moving blocked energy in fun and exciting ways and teaching people new and exciting ways to make love through creating consent and communicating. I have a very solid-base in esoteric teachings, Tantra, Tao, Bio-energy healing and combine this with more modern mindfulness models and practices.
What sets me apart from others is that I am a monogamous Tantra coach, married for 18 years with three children. The majority of people that teach what I teach are often polyamorous, with no children or in partnerships that change every few years. I have a unique perspective into the beauty of long-term Tantric relationships and how they can enhance our lives!
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
San Diego is the city with the best vibe in the U.S. It has incredible weather, the beach and a laid-back atmosphere. The thing I like least about San Diego is the temperature of the ocean. If only it were a bit warmer – then it really would be perfection!
