“Rheanna’s magic is that she would show up as what I needed, at just the right time—a friend, coach, brother or wild woman... Whatever I needed but didn’t know I needed, she’d become. It let me confront and conquer so many of my demons.”
~ David L., DO
Rheanna Hoffmann, RN, BSN
Hello,
I am a ceremonialist, nurse, certified relationship coach, sexological body-worker, certified cuddle therapist, wilderness guide, and psychedelic coach, and KAP nurse (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy), with 20 years’ experience in ceremony, meditation, psychology, religion and somatics.
As a nurse for 11+ years, I spent 7 years in Emergency Departments across the United States, including a year in NYC during Covid. I’ve worked on death row and in solitary confinement, and supported many people in the death and dying process in Hospice.
My spiritual background includes 15+ years in the Tibetan Buddhist lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, gnostic Christianity, the shamanic lineage of Carlos Castaneda, and Ritual BDSM. I’ve been initiated into wisdom and medicine traditions across cultures and countries—from bwiti and iboga in Gabon, to Tibetan dzogchen empowerments, to a 6-week Temple Training in New Zealand. I’m an assistant with ISTA (International School of Temple Arts).
My expertise includes:
Embodied parts work & shadow work
Anscestral / Family systems
Attachment patterns
Sacred Spot bodywork
Death rituals
Shamanic transformation
Psychedelic integration
Individual & group temples / initiations
Wilderness therapy
I’m passionate about the power of ordinary magic and erotic group fields. I work with psychedelics in my own relationships as means to soften, expand, and empower the dance between sovereignty and interdependence.
My unique power is my combination of assuring presence, humor, intelligence, & penetrating insight—making you feel simultaneously at ease and brave enough to go beyond what you think is possible.
Let’s bring your extraordinary through.
I continue to do humanitarian work internationally.
My Approach
All of you is welcome…
What makes working with me unique?
In another life I was an Emergency Nurse, wilderness guide and first-responder. I’m intimately familiar with how the body and nervous systems communicate what they need and desire—and how to bring those desires to LIFE.
I use energetics, touch, and intuitive, somatic, gestalt, shamanic, and trauma-trained practices to support you in releasing the bound-up energy in powerful yet regulated ways—so you can re-deploy this energy into all areas of your life.
I’ve done the work
I’ve learned that my own thoughts and emotions always exist in an infinately large context—and yet pain is real. By leaning in again and again to my shadows, attachments and stories, I know that the pain of others is also real—and yet, is also much less solid than it seems in a moment.
I know that nothing in you is broken or unworkable.
I have the unique ability to constantly see the ember in you… ready to be re-ignited into your personal fire. Even in your most entrenched moments, I help you get underneath what you shy away from, find FUN, and be in intimacy.
It’s a rare person who can do this alone
It can be overwhelming, confusing, and feel like a lot of work to lean into the hurt, disappointment, shame, as well as incredible joy and wild happiness inherent in life & sexuality.
I find it’s best, fastest and easiest to have a guide. Someone who has traveled (and continues to travel) the journey—and who can give you the time, attention, knowledge, and confidence to navigate through your own.
As a nurse and intimacy coach with an extensive background in trauma, death, eros and transformation, I have the grit and insight in how to work with suffering—physical pain, grief, hopelessness, and just plain awkardness. I’ve learned to make a difference in people’s lives in a matter of minutes; to dive in and find the unspoken questions and fears, with lightness, depth, and compassion.
We are in this together. I am your guide.
“I got through parts of myself with Rheanna that I thought I’d have to ignore forever. She taught me how to receive as a man, something I realized I didn’t actually know how to do even with my wife. Rheanna became a refuge… I got to grieve… She nurtured me back to life. I’m dating again. She’s a rock.”
~ William F., military veteran
“She helped me realized what I was missing—basic affection that didn’t involve the pressure of me having to please my wife.”
