What is the VITA™ Method?

The VITA™ Method (Vital and Integrated Tantric Approach) is a trauma and neuroscience informed, soul-centered approach to personal transformation that blends modern neurobiology with ancient tantric wisdom to heal, awaken, and integrate the full spectrum of our erotic and emotional power.

Created by Layla Martin, the VITA™ Method integrates tools from:

  • Somatic therapy

  • Tantric and Taoist traditions

  • Modern neuroscience

  • Sexual and emotional healing

  • Attachment theory

  • Shadow & shamanic integration

  • Spiritual alchemy

 

Unlike performance-based sexuality models, VITA™ works through the body’s intelligence, breath, sensation, and energetic awareness—guiding clients to feel, release, and reclaim the deepest layers of embodied wisdom.

Why It Matters & Why I Use It

For many, sexuality and emotional expression have been distorted by shame, trauma, repression, or disembodiment. This disconnect shows up as numbness, disempowerment, performance anxiety, intimacy struggles, or a blocked life force.

The VITA™ Method offers a way home.

It reclaims eros—not just as sexuality—but as life energy, the sacred spark that fuels creation, confidence, presence, and purpose.

What drew me to this work was how deeply spiritual, precise, and integrative it is. It doesn't bypass pain or “push” performance—it gently supports full-spectrum healing through love, reverence, and embodied truth.

How the VITA™ Method Supports Transformation

Through VITA™, I support clients to:

  • Reconnect with the body as a source of wisdom and guidance

  • Regulate and rewire nervous system imprints around intimacy and vulnerability

  • Clear shame and trauma stored in the tissues

  • Activate the heart-womb-voice connection

  • Cultivate authentic erotic expression and inner safety

  • Deepen emotional fluidity, spiritual intimacy, and sacred presence

  • Awaken their sensual and erotic intelligence

  • Heal from sexual trauma or disconnection

  • Rewire nervous system patterns around safety, pleasure, and intimacy

  • Reclaim voice, truth, and power through the body

  • Cultivate erotic confidence, sovereign embodiment, and deep inner union

How I Use This in My Work

The VITA™ Method weaves throughout my sessions, rituals, and containers including:

  • The Goddex Way™ — for erotic reclamation, feminine & masculine embodiment, and sacred sovereignty

  • Devotional Work — for polarity play, energetic dominance, sacred surrender, and erotic safety

  • 1:1 Coaching & Healing Intensives — for rewiring erotic patterns and reclaiming confidence

  • Temple Arts Sessions — for sacred touch, pleasure-based healing, and full-spectrum Eros activation

 

As a certified VITA™ Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach, with over 600 hours of advanced training through Layla Martin’s Institute, I hold this methodology as a sacred rite of return—for those ready to embody their wholeness, awaken their sensual brilliance, and live from empowered eros.

 

My advanced studies have included:

  • Trauma-informed tantric sex coaching

  • Sacred sexuality & energetic embodiment

  • Male and female sexuality

  • Conscious dating & relationship transformation

  • Empowerment & confidence coaching

  • Life transitions & identity evolution

 

This comprehensive training forms a cornerstone of my Goddex work, infusing every offering with integrity, intuition, and a deep reverence for eros as the sacred pulse of life.

It is the portal to your deepest truth, your wildest joy,

and your most sacred power.”
