IF YOU’RE HERE, YOU PROBABLY FOUND ME THROUGH IG ARTOFLOVING, DARK GODDESS DOULA, BODY TEMPLE DANCE, OR SOME WOMAN WHO TOLD YOU, “YOU NEED TO KNOW ADRIANA.”

But you might not know me as Adriana the hair witch.

Before Body Temple, before ritual theater, before somatics and sacred sexuality, I was an anxious super codependent hair stylist.

For years, I worked with women in the intimate space of the salon—listening to their stories, their marriages, their divorces, their sex lives, their heartbreaks, their bodies, their secrets.

Somewhere along the way, I became known as a “hair witch.”

And about ten years ago, The New York Times wrote a full-page feature in the Style section about my work as a hair witch.

Ironically, that article catapulted me out of the salon and into my full-time work as a witch. Without the scissors.

I’m 44 now, and I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 26. Eighteen years.

The business is only one part of the story. The deeper story is recovery.

I came into this work through my own messy, imperfect, sometimes fucking beautiful process of learning how to stay alive, stay present, and come back to myself.

Recovery taught me something that no business strategy ever could:

We don't heal in isolation.

I have been profoundly shaped by the people who have walked beside me—my recovery communities, teachers, therapists, somatic practitioners, spiritual mentors, artists, mystics, sex educators, movement teachers, and the women who trusted me enough to let me witness their lives.

I have had mentors (check my bio) who taught me how to sit still.

People who taught me how to feel.

People who taught me how to grieve.

People who challenged my bullshit.

People who showed me devotion.

People who taught me that spirituality without embodiment can become another way to leave yourself.

And people in recovery who taught me that sometimes the most radical spiritual practice is simply showing up again tomorrow.

I have spent years learning from others, practicing, fucking things up, repairing, studying, teaching, going back to the beginning, and discovering that there is always another layer.

That is what eventually became Body Temple.

A living body of work at the intersection of somatics, sacred sexuality, ritual, movement, mythology, spirituality, recovery, grief, rage, pleasure, creativity, and love.

And after all these years, there is one thing I know about building something that actually lasts:

The most powerful marketing strategy I know is still word of mouth.

Not convincing.

Not performing.

Not trying to become more desirable to the algorithm.

Being good enough at what you do that someone feels compelled to tell their friend.

A woman comes into Shameless and discovers something about her body she was never taught.

She learns how to listen instead of override herself.

She begins feeling pleasure without turning it into a performance.

She notices where she disappears in love.

She begins to understand her desire.

She gets curious about her shame instead of letting it run her life.

She learns that her anger isn't necessarily a problem to eliminate.

She discovers that grief and pleasure can live in the same body.

She brings the work into her relationship.

Or her art.

Or her motherhood.

Or her money.

Or simply back into the way she inhabits her own skin.

And then she tells another woman:

“You need this.”

That's the kind of growth I believe in.

Not women being endlessly told they're broken and need another program to fix themselves.

Not spirituality packaged as another performance of perfection.

But women becoming deeply resourced in their own bodies, relationships, communities, and inner lives.

Because Shameless isn't about becoming the hottest, most desirable, most healed, most feminine version of yourself.

It's about becoming more available to your own life.

Your pleasure.

Your grief.

Your rage.

Your erotic intelligence.

Your creativity.

Your capacity to receive.

Your capacity to love without abandoning yourself.

Your capacity to be witnessed.

Your capacity to stay.

Your capacity to choose.

Shameless is my signature erotic love course for exactly that.

And after more than a decade of doing this work—and decades of being shaped by the people who have loved me, taught me, challenged me, witnessed me, and walked with me through recovery from the systems of control and domination into the soft, potent sacred responsibility of the feminine—I'm inviting you into the room with us.

Not to become someone else.

But to become increasingly impossible to abandon.

By you.
