About Gail
I have always lived close to the body. Even before I knew how to speak its language, I could feel the undercurrent, alive, pulsing, whispering in a rhythm far older than thought. I could feel the ache beneath desire, the silence beneath wounds, the beauty buried in places no one had named. This quiet knowing became the thread that guided me through every form, every role, every unraveling.
My path began far beyond temples, but in lived experience, through trauma, through sex, through motherhood. Through intimacy that opened and intimacy that fractured. Through moments when the body held everything that words could never reach. I was initiated by life itself, and each encounter, painful, ecstatic, mundane, or mysterious, became part of the temple I now carry.
I am a devotional voice for Eros, a living current of innocence, worth, and love’s return. My life has been a river of initiations, each one carving me open and shaping me for the work I now embody.
My initiation into Eros began in childhood. Those earliest years carried both tenderness and intensity, planting within me the questions of love, safety, worth, and belonging that continue to guide my path. Even then, I could feel the rawness of intimacy, a knowing that stirred a lifelong devotion to the innocence at the heart of desire.
As I grew, Eros drew me into its most unfiltered landscapes. I walked through the worlds of sex work, from owning an escort agency in my early twenties to the digital gaze of cam work, and later, the charged theatre of domination. Each of these realms revealed the ache beneath performance, the longing behind power, and the soul that pulses even in shadow. They became doorways of awakening, showing me Eros as both wound and prayer, each encounter carrying the seed of innocence.
My devotion then widened into the therapeutic and ceremonial arts. I trained and practiced as a psychotherapist and psychosexual therapist, supporting individuals and couples for over fifteen years, with degrees from Roehampton University in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy. My path expanded into bodywork, womb work, and touch. I was initiated with the Rite of the Womb to become a womb keeper, tending the thresholds of feminine memory and guiding the return of innocence within the erotic body.
Alongside this, my voice found its way into public and academic spaces. I spent a couple years in British media as a local presenter and show psychologist with a postgraduate diploma in Media Psychology from Salford University. Bringing conversations about sex therapy, resilience, positive psychology and intimacy into collective view, I have written for magazines, spoken on TEDx stage and radio, and shared my work in university settings, bridging the worlds of soul and science, devotion and discipline.
Plant medicine ceremonies opened me deeper still, awakening ancestral memory in my body and voice. Under their guidance I came to see Eros as a current of beauty and devotion flowing through every life. Each descent into shadow and each rising into light revealed my role: to hold a field where innocence is remembered as holy, and where love and truth move as one.
I carry the authority of lived experience: childhood and sex work, psychotherapy and bodywork, motherhood and womb keeping, ceremony, media, and academia. Each of these paths belongs to the same river of initiation.
What I offer now is its distilled essence:
Council for the truth that wants to be spoken.
Cuddle for the body that longs to rest in safety.
Ceremony for the soul that is ready to remember itself.
Each offering is an entry point into the same living field, one that restores the original rhythm between body, heart, and spirit. This is my life’s devotion, to guide others home to the pulse of love within them, where the sacred and the human meet, and beauty breathes through every cell.
