Description
Are you ready to turn on the light switch of your soul and live an authentic, radiant, unapologetically pleasure-filled life?
I’m Penny van der Sluys, I empower women in their midlife who are struggling to love their body and prioritise pleasure, play and passion, and help them discover their powerful, untapped sensual, sexual and feminine energy so they can feel wild, free, sexy in their body and life.
Journey with me as we explore the aspects of our lives that are taboo and surrounded in shame, and reveal the keys to access to pleasure and joy in your midlife and beyond!
