Cilia Antoniu, CEO of Self Expressed Babe

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 women & non-binary folks who desire more love, connection, full self expression.

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:

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!

I've focused my work and marketing/messaging on women in the past, however everything is currently being re-worked and reinvented at the moment here.

I’ve always enjoyed the pleasures of art and used to be immersed in the world of fashion as a custom luxury gown pattern maker for a small boutique in Miami, FL.

 

While I was playing in creativity, I was somehow living life from the neck up. Lost in my head, numb from the neck down, completely cut off from my body, sensations, and deep feelings/emotions. (Can you relate?)

This felt so normal that I didn’t realize it was happening.

 

My environment was pregnant with gossip, competition amongst women, and over consumption.

 

Art and the love of making art led me to such a toxic, stressful place.

 

That stress led me to yoga in 2014 and, in short, it changed my life. I quit the job, broke up my 6-year long toxic relationship, and started feeling self love for the first time since childhood.

 

That self love helped me walk away from the fashion industry even though I'd worked PASSIONATELY to put myself through university without student loans.

 

Yoga eventually led me to embodiment work and work around celebrating, healing, and liberating sexuality.

 

And let me tell you... work around sexuality can show you parts of yourself you'd rather run from. Which is why it's so completely liberating and healing.

I think the humans of the world need more freedom to live outside of the societal boxes and that courage to do so comes from breathing deeply, moving intuitively & with your primal energy, and contemplating spiritual Truths.

Define, liberate, and thrive in your own beautiful, unique energy... this is my highest wish for you.

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:
