Join us in this unconventional conversation about an unconventional journey! Lee Jagger shares her fascinating story on how she became a sex expert and mindful intimacy coach. We dive into the conversation as an exploration of self love and acceptance. We dive into the “brokenness” women who undergo cancer experience, and reveal how we can begin to love our scars. Lee's work helps women master erotic massage so they can feel as confident and playful as a sex goddess in the bedroom. And she helps men understand how women need different things in order to be intimate. Lee focuses on physical touch and communication methods as ways to bring couples closer together. She helps her clients to find their voice and communicate what they need, as well as reach greater heights of intimacy—that have nothing to do with intercourse.

"Cancer wants you to hear the longing of your soul." Dr Nandarani Meister Dr. Nandarani Meister is an “out-of-the-box” Oncologist and founder of Transformative Oncology based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Today her practice focuses on healing the patient physically, mentally and emotionally, including individual spiritual needs as well.
