Tara Teng

Tara Teng (she/her) is an Embodiment Coach who works in the intersections of spirituality and sexuality. She helps people find their way back to their bodies, overcome shame, heal trauma and dismantle purity culture in a way that is in alignment with their values and beliefs so that they can build a healthy, sexual ethic and thrive in freedom and wholeness.

Aside from her 1:1 coaching, Tara hosts women’s circles, workshops, online classes and retreats on the topics of embodiment, justice, sexuality, and relationships. Her debut book, “Your Body is a Revolution: Healing Our Relationships with Our Bodies, Each Other and the Earth” was published June 2023 from Broadleaf Books and Dundurn Press and is available in print, e-book and audiobook everywhere books are sold!

Tara comes to this work after witnessing her generation struggle under the oppressive confines of the purity industry’s movement of the 90s and 2000s, bringing with it all the religious trauma, broken relationships, sexual dysfunctions, auto-immune disorders and sexual violence that ensued as a result of abstinence-only teaching that left us with an unhealthy obsession with virginity and lack of sexual ethics in our relationships.

She also has spent ten years working to advance the socio-economic status of women, diminish sexual violence and end human trafficking alongside collaborative work with community stakeholders, lawmakers, and some amazing organizations. Her advocacy work has helped to pass new laws in Canada that protect victims of human trafficking and she has established Canada’s first Municipal Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking.

Beyond her work, Tara is a TEDx Speaker, a former Miss Canada and was named Canada’s “Woman of the Year” in 2011. She is one of the Globe and Mail’s “Top 25 Most Transformational Canadians”, received an International Heroes award from the Joy Smith Foundation, as well as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in recognition of her vast human rights work.

In her personal life, Tara is a mother to three young children. She continues to invest in her community as a mentor with the Miss BC leadership program and an Ambassador for OneTWU - a collective to support queer students at religious university.

She lives, works and plays on the unceded traditional territories of the Kwantlen, Matsqui, Katzie and Semiahmoo First Nations.

Sensual Somatic - An Erotic Movement Experience to Reconnect with Your Own Power

Step into a 60-minute immersive and interactive journey designed to help women of all ages awaken their sensual power. No prior dance experience is required—just an open heart and a willingness to reconnect with your body.

In this workshop, we will:
• Release stagnant energy and awaken dormant vitality.
• Activate your erotic energy, breaking free from the blocks of trauma and shame.
• Reclaim authentic expression in the loving and safe embrace of sisterhood.
• Unapologetically own your desires and reconnect to the pleasure that is your birthright.

If your wild, untamed feminine sensuality has ever felt like “too much” or too overwhelming, this is your invitation to welcome her home.

Led by Tara Teng—skilled movement facilitator, somatic practitioner, and author of Your Body Is a Revolution—this workshop draws from the rich foundations of Burlesque, Heels Dance, and Embodied Movement. With Tara’s gentle guidance, you will:
• Discover your unique rhythm and authentic embodied expression.
• Strip away the restrictions of shame or performative eroticism.
• Reclaim the goodness of your sensuality—on your terms.

Feel alive in your skin. Reconnect with your body. Let desire flow freely through your veins.

Join us for an empowering experience to honor your body, release what no longer serves you, and reclaim the untamed power of your feminine sensuality.

Come as you are, and leave fully alive.
