About Lya

From

Hi love, I'm Lya

I'm the Founder of the Visionary Institute. I'm a Men's Expert, International Tantra Therapist, and a guide for men who want to experience more of life.

My wholehearted desire is to awaken in every man the part of you that remembers that you are worthy of Love and every drop of Pleasure that existence offers.

My story from my house of healers to my journey studying Pleasure

I grew up in mexican-spanish family of doctors and healers. My childhood in Mexico was filled between dinner tables with medical talks, psychology conferences, sleeping on the lap of my mother, and our kitchen filled with hundred ayurvedic spices and chinese medicinal food.

I was a sensitive kid. I carried a large intuition from an early age. But I was quiet. I didn't allow myself to take up too much space

At 19 I was dancing professionally I fell into a deep dark depression it felt like a big dark hole buried under earth where I couldn't get out of it... until I tried to escape from life. I experienced a close-to-death experience at an early age that changed the course of my entire life.

I chose life, I decided to stay -even when I couldn't really feel why. And in this moment my journey into studying and reconnecting with Pleasure began...

One day a friend invited me to a Tantric ceremony. I had no idea what I was walking into. But when I emerged from that session like someone had turned up the color saturation on life..

My body felt electric, awake, remembering something I'd forgotten. That moment opened a door to the journey back into my body.

In search for Purpose and Pleasure

When I moved to Spain in my 20's after that experience I went into a profound journey to understand myself, I studied for years several spiritual traditions, so as well therapy methods, while on parallel my business career grew.

There I was, the usually youngest and only woman in the room, together with other tech leaders, founders raising capital, building the next unicorn. Achieving everything that looked like success.

But on the inside.. for years I felt in search for something more...

I was the classical high achiever, always on my head. Busy. And doing relationships also on the same way. Sex felt good, but I stuggled with periods with no desire, and feeling blocked intimately. I even thought I was asexual. And it felt difficult to speak about my sexual challenges.

For many years, I thought perhaps that was how relationships and sex would. My exploration in open relationships opened new dimensions; however, I still missed to understand what was really going on inside my mind, heart and body - as a woman

Then came the moment that changed everything. One day, walking up the stairs to my office, the sound of my heels on the stairs, and the thought that hit me like a punch: If I died tomorrow, would this be the life I wanted to have lived?

My heart tightened. I knew the answer was no. I walked from the company I had built. And started a chapter into my path as a Tantra Therapist

Sexual Awakening

I found myself in this beautiful, loving relationship. However the same pattern showed up: sexual disconnection even in deep love.

When that relationship shattered, this became my awakening to dive into the deepest healing work imaginable. I excavated every buried part of myself. I became obsessed with understanding sexuality, my nervous system, and the journey back to inhabit my body.

And I returned to the teachings I once had on Sacred Sexuality and Tantra. Unlike many other spiritual paths I experienced, this one didn't ask me to transcend the body, but actually finding in the Body the original wisdom

My years learning different forms of Tantra were paired up with years studying with best teachers in the world on: Polarity, Men's Health, Erotic Intelligence, Somatic Sexuality, Trauma, and different forms of Tantra therapy and Psychedelic Assisted therapy

After 2020 I experienced a profound shift in the way I experienced life. The nature of reality opened beyond my capacity for existence. I experienced a new meaning to my sense of aliveness, my way to approach and speak in the world, to build communities, and to bring my energy and aliveness to doing what's in my hand to leave a bit of a better world than how I found.

There is always a spontaneous movement in all of us towards Connection, Aliveness and Health . No matter how isolated we got - or what tremendous traumatic experiences we have experienced.

Just like sunflowers moving to the sun, our Bodies always carry this an original impulse for Connection, Healing, and Love

And this is what my work is dedicated to.

The Visionary Institute Mission

I founded the Visionary Institute because I believe we are living through a new paradigm for relationships, love, and humanity

As society when we invidually begin to recognize our conditionings, the transgenerational old survival adaptations (turned into trauma)... we often find ourselves having Choice. The option to weave and create something different - and we often find ourselves reconnecting with a deep sense of authenticity.

When the body is naturally relaxed, it enters into its natural state of being: which is orgasmic. We suddenly experience pleasure in our eyes in the small things we wouldn't before notice, our old armours soften when we trust in Love.

Our hearts open when we embrace the nature of reality: fragile. Sometimes bringing hard moments, pain, grief, death. And also in the same spoon bliss, ecstatic love, joy, the giggle of a new born baby. When we stop resisting the nature of reality, we feel so much more alive.

When we work with sexuality, we work with Life force Energy, that organistic impulse that lives inside of each of us. The origin of life. That when we Expand and Embrace to its fullest we transform everything: we remember our purpose, we activate our creative power. We become magnetic forces for love and change in the world

This is a Love and Pleasure revolution.
