Cilia Antoniu, CEO of Self Expressed Babe

You're worthy and deserving of receiving healthy love simply because you exist

I'm Cilia and I'm here to facilitate experiences that drop you into your body, sexuality, and deep capacity for intimacy

I’m passionate about helping ambitious women & non-binary folks with a history of toxic relationships who desire to reconnect to their sensuality and who desire to feel worthy of receiving healthy love.

Let's remember the sensational pleasure of being fully alive in self love, s.xuality, and relationships... bc it is your birth right!!

+Inclusivity statement:

My main audience is women however, I work with women, gender fluid & non-binary folks. If you don’t fall into these categories but you like my vibe, I have a network of coaches I can refer you to so please get in touch with me!

Everyone has a Self Expressed Babe within them

When I started dating, I kept repeating the cycle of getting into toxic relationships with people who didn't see my worth.

This was because I couldn't see my own worth.

I stayed in a toxic, unaligned relationship for way too long... you know one of those situations where you look back and think "what was I thinking?"

And then in my mid-20's I began to devote to a daily yoga practice. Little by little, I came home to my body. I could no longer ignore the inner voice telling me that I hated working in the fashion industry and I hated being in the relationship I was in.

I ended that toxic relationship of 6 years, quit my job, and moved back in with my mom. My life was both a mess and also coming together at the same time.

The type of people I was dating COMPLETELY shifted when I worked on healing my father wound

But even when I found myself in my first healthy relationship, unworthiness came up. I couldn't fully RECEIVE that healthy love and I didn't fully trust that being myself was safe.

It wasn't until I did the inner work to really truly come home to my body and dismantle all the shame I learned to feel about being a person with a p*ssy that my capacity to receive healthy love grew.

This work is not for the faint of heart but I showed up because I was married to my soul mate and I was determined to do what I needed to do to not push him away.

The transformation I've received from yoga, meditation, embodiment work, sacred sexuality work, and coaching is the heart beat of why I do what I do. I truly believe everyone has a Self Expressed Babe within them and I'm here to help you find that within you and let her/them out!

The training that flavors my work:

  • Currently in the 2023 cohort of the VITA Sex, Love, and Relationship Coaching Certification program (a trauma informed program and in 2024 I'm currently studying specializing in Life Transitions and Female Sexuality)

 

  • Certified Womb Circle Facillitator

 

 

  • 200hr Yoga Teacher Training
    • plus 9 years of teaching experience

 

  • Various other trainings including: Forgiveness Life Coaching, EFT Tapping & more

 

  • BFA in Fashion Design
    • My love for art helps me see YOU as art.
    • Creatives are also my favorite clients to work with because I love witnessing how your art becomes deeper as a result of putting awareness and energy into your sxxuality, pleasure, and relationships. Musicians I've worked with show up more embodied in their sexiness on stage (while feeling safe to do so!) and find themselves having more energy and inspiration to write more music.

I'd like to honor and thank the teachers, facilitators, and authors who I've learned from. My work stands on your shoulders:
