The Pleasure Portal
A 5-Month Journey Into Embodiment, Sensuality & Sacred Self-Connection
A 5-Month Journey Into Embodiment, Sensuality & Sacred Self-Connection
For the woman ready to soften…
to feel again…
to reclaim her body, her voice, her pleasure, her truth.
This is not simply a coaching container.
This is a return.
~ A return to your body.
~ Your aliveness.
~ Your sensuality.
~ Your nervous system.
~ Your softness.
~ Your power.
This experience will invite you to meet yourself and explore your edges at depths and in ways you may never have before…
Supporting you to develop a deeper level of understanding, self acceptance, love, and compassion for ALL parts of self, and all you are capable of being, and experiencing.
You Were Never Meant To Merely Survive.
So many women have learnt to live disconnected from their bodies.
~ Numb.
~ Hyper-independent.
~ Over-functioning.
~ Performing.
~ Armoured.
~ Exhausted.
~ Disconnected from pleasure, softness, desire and safety.
The Pleasure Portal was created to gently unravel those patterns.
To help you cultivate safety within your body and nervous system…
while expanding your capacity to receive more love, intimacy, pleasure, presence, abundance and truth.
This is where we stop abandoning ourselves.
And begin experiencing life fully.
This Container Is For You If…
❤︎ You crave deeper connection to yourself and your body.
❤︎ You want to feel more feminine, sensual, alive and embodied.
❤︎ You long to experience pleasure without guilt, shame or disconnection.
❤︎ You’re exhausted from constantly “holding it all together.”
❤︎ You want healthier relationships, deeper intimacy and clearer boundaries.
❤︎ You are ready to soften without losing your power.
❤︎ You desire more presence in love, life, intimacy, movement, food, nature, touch and everyday moments.
❤︎ You know there is more available for you
Can you imagine how it would feel to experience yourself and life with more joy, pleasure and aliveness?
Imagine…
Waking up and actually feeling connected to yourself again.
Feeling safe in your body.
Feeling confident expressing your needs and desires.
Feeling turned on by life again.
Feeling softer… calmer… more magnetic.
Experiencing intimacy, sensuality and connection from a place of safety rather than performance.
Looking in the mirror with compassion instead of criticism.
Feeling emotionally regulated instead of constantly overwhelmed.
Feeling deeply grounded in who you are.
A Love Letter To The Woman Reading This
You do not need to earn rest.
Or softness.
Or pleasure.
Or love.
Your body is not something to fight against.
Your sensitivity is not weakness.
Your desires are not too much.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel deeply connected to yourself.
You are allowed to experience life fully.
And perhaps… this is the season you finally choose yourself.
Meet Candi May
For years, I searched for healing and ALIVENESS outside of myself.
Through heartbreak, trauma, people pleasing, burnout, addiction, disconnection from my body, unhealthy relationships and constantly striving to prove my worth… I learnt what it feels like to abandon yourself in the pursuit of being loved, accepted and enough.
And I also learnt what it takes to come home.
The Pleasure Portal was born not only from professional training and years of experience — but from lived embodiment. From walking through my own darkness, unraveling survival patterns, reclaiming my voice, reconnecting to my body, and learning how to create safety, softness, pleasure and truth within myself.
Today, my work blends a fusion of modalities including Holistic Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, NLP, Breathwork, Somatic & Nervous System work, Energy Healing, embodiment practices and deep emotional integration.
But more than anything…
I hold spaces that invite women back into themselves.
Into their bodies.
Their truth.
Their sensuality.
Their softness.
Their power.
Over the years, I’ve worked across many worlds — from operating an outdoor adventure company guiding women through the wilds of Australia, to working in immigration law and advocacy, to now facilitating transformational spaces for women around the world.
And through all of it, one truth has remained:
A woman changes when she finally feels safe enough to fully be herself.
The Pleasure Portal is a sacred invitation into that remembering.
A space where you can reconnect to your body, explore your edges, expand your capacity for intimacy and pleasure, heal your relationship with yourself, and experience life with more presence, devotion and aliveness.
This is not surface-level work.
It is deep remembrance.
Deep embodiment.
Deep reclamation.
And it would be an honour to walk beside you.
Welcome home.
Welcome home to YOU.
— Candi May xx

OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE PORTAL
A 5-Month Journey Into Embodiment, Sensuality, Emotional Expansion & Sacred Self-Connection
Each month inside The Pleasure Portal has been intentionally designed to gently expand your nervous system’s capacity for safety, softness, truth, intimacy, pleasure and aliveness.

I only ever teach what I myself practice and embody and everything I share is through a very lived and FELT experience….
I know this work is different, I am living the work I do and it really does get to be more easeful, juicier, and more pleasure filled… You just have to want it enough to know you have the choice… Create the change, or stay the same… xx It’s up to you ❥
-
Not at all. This space is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
-
That is precisely why this work exists. You are welcome exactly as you are.
-
Yes. This container is grounded in nervous system awareness, safety and compassionate facilitation.
-
This work includes sensuality, pleasure and embodiment, but it is not explicit sexual coaching. It is about helping women reconnect to themselves, their bodies and their capacity to feel fully alive.
You Are Allowed To Experience Life Fully.
To rest.
To soften.
To receive.
To feel.
To take up space.
To experience pleasure without guilt.
The woman you are becoming already exists within you.
