Barbara Carrellas

Meet Barbara Carrellas, the revolutionary sex educator who's made it her mission to bring sacred sexuality out of ancient texts and into your modern bedroom. With her unique blend of Tantric wisdom, BDSM practices, and theatrical flair, Barbara creates experiences that are equal parts spiritual revelation and delicious pleasure.

Barbara's journey began in an unexpected place—as a Broadway producer in the 1980s. When the AIDS crisis hit, she pivoted toward creating safer, more conscious paths to ecstasy that didn't rely solely on genital connection. This radical shift led her to develop Urban Tantra®, her signature methodology that's now taught worldwide and translated into multiple languages.

As an AASECT-certified sex educator and the author of multiple bestselling books, Barbara has guided thousands toward profound erotic awakenings. Her groundbreaking work "Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century" has over 15,000 Goodreads ratings and has become the go-to guide for anyone seeking to infuse their intimate life with spiritual depth—regardless of gender, orientation, or relationship style.

What makes Barbara truly special is her gift for demystifying seemingly complex practices. She combines her theatrical background with surprising elements from her training at Coney Island Sideshow School (yes, she eats fire!) to create memorable, transformative learning experiences. Time Out/NY Magazine didn't name her "Best Tantric Sex Seminar Leader" for nothing!

In "Transcendent Bodies - Tantric Massage for Queer Bodies," Barbara offers a judgment-free space to explore tantric touch specifically designed for queer and gender non-conforming individuals. You'll learn her revolutionary 20-Minute Tantra protocols, perfect for busy modern lives, and discover how breath and energy work can lead to expanded orgasmic states that transcend conventional pleasure. Barbara's trauma-informed approach ensures everyone feels safe while journeying toward new realms of ecstatic connection.

Ready to move beyond ordinary intimacy into something truly extraordinary? Barbara's waiting to show you the way.
