Nadia Nauss is the founder of Sustainable Self Care, a holistic wellness practice specialising in Embodied Life Coaching, Trauma-Informed Tantra Yoga, Inner Child Work and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage.  Nadia is passionate about empowering individuals with emotional release techniques, self-regulation, restorative integration, and tantric practices so that we might know ourselves to be the sovereign Source of our own energy, love, healing, creativity, and bliss. 

In 2008 Nadia began practicing yoga to alleviate stress, fatigue, and back pain during her career as a US Navy officer. Six years later, she became a certified teacher in Vinyasa Yoga through Power Living and Yin Yoga through Qi Health and Yoga. An avid learner on a self-healing journey, Nadia has completed over 900 hours of yoga teacher training including Yoga for Mental Health, iRest® Yoga Nidra, and various trauma-sensitive courses that inform her functional and therapeutic application of the yogic teachings both on and off the mat.  Nadia is a senior yoga teacher and faculty member of the Woke Yoga Academy delivering the Trauma-Informed Yoga module of the 200-hour Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training.

Nadia's own lived experience of early childhood trauma has informed her approach to Inner Child Work.  Drawing upon her Neuro-Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner certification, trauma-informed yoga training, and tried-and-true methods of somatic presencing, Nadia facilitates the safe release of repressed emotions through embodiment practices and self-regulation techniques with empathy and authenticity.

Nadia began her tantric journey in 2011 and completed her Tantra Practitioner Level 3 certification in 2017 through The Sanctuary of Ananda's Australian Institute of Tantra Training. Nadia currently serves as a lead faculty member for the School Erotic Living where she teaches tantra and mentors individuals and couples on the path to realising their intimacy goals.
