This is the part where I’m supposed to tell you about that magical pivotal moment where my life changed and now I’m totally evolved and spiritual AF and I’m in a permanent state of bliss, right?

 

However, life doesn’t work exactly like that (you might have noticed).  Life is not lived in a linear fashion, in fact, it’s wiggly and convoluted sometimes. There’s all the good juju. The learning, the inspiration, the joy, the bliss. And then there’s the sticky stuff. Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Confusion. Anxiety. I know them all soooo intimately.

Ah, being human. It’s not always easy, huh? I don’t believe there’s some future place of perfection we can reach where everything is rainbows all the time. Or if there is, I’m certainly not there yet.

However, if I had to pick a defining moment that omg like completely changed my life, I’d probably pick this one. 

My first yoni massage. After years of internal numbness and shitty sneeze-like orgasms, this was the point where I was shocked to discover that my vagina was a gateway to the kind of pleasurable sensations that felt like I was dissolving into the universe itself for hours on end. Holy wow. 

I remember feeling frustrated afterwards though. Angry even. Why wasn’t I told about this earlier!? 

It’s not exactly something we get taught in school sex ed. It’s actually not even common knowledge. There’s so much cultural shame and taboo around our bodies, genitals and sexuality that it’s sometimes hard to find empowering information amidst the chaos.

People often ask me how I got into this work. Well, I literally fell into it. I can’t say I ever imagined I’d be teaching women about the magic of their vaginas. I didn’t even know it was a thing until I experienced it myself. 

It’s been a wild and crazy ride the last few years offering this highly unusual work in the world. It’s sometimes challenging to step into something that is so out there (I’m actually an introvert) but it’s an absolute honour to do what I do and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hi, I'm Bonnie Bliss.

A pelvic wellness specialist,

intimacy educator, somatic sexologist, bliss seeker, speaker & writer, I’m also the founder of a women’s pelvic wellness modality, called:

'Yoni Mapping Therapy -
The Bliss Method.'

In early 2017, I developed a 6 month intensive certification training in my method of Yoni Mapping Therapy which I offered to a group of 26 amazing women from all over Australia and the world – these women are now fully certified Yoni Mapping Therapists! 

I co-created The Yoniverse,

with Elise Savaresse, which is a series of workshops & retreats in ‘intimacy education for adults’. The Yoniverse now offers Australia’s most widespread intimacy events with over a thousand people attending so far.

Inspired by connection,

the wisdom of our bodies and the beauty of the natural world, I’m constantly working to refine my relentless creative inspiration into clear, specific projects. There’s a lot of letting go!

Passionate about writing,

simple living, organic food, quality time with loved ones & performing stand up comedy, I also love to spend time in nature. I lived for many years in Europe, enjoying trips to India, Nepal & Asia. I travel for work sometimes and I’m enlivened by new places & people.

A country girl at heart,

 I’m now grateful to be soaking up some city vibes in Melbourne, the unofficial brunch capital of the world.

“Yoni Mapping is like having your vagina made known to you. It’s like having a woman guide you to know how f**king amazing (and worth worshipping) your pelvic area is. So this is what Bonnie did with me, and I discovered a whole new me. A side of my body I never knew. A gentle side. A receptive side. A side that ‘knew’, that held all body information if I dared to ask the questions. WOW.”
