THE LIONESS INITIATION
21 days back into your body and your power
An initiation into ecstatic aliveness through primal movement, sound, breathwork and Shakti activation.
For the mama who can run a house, a business and six group chats at once…
and can’t remember the last time she felt turned on by her own life.
Your inner lioness isn’t gone. She’s napping.

Emotional release, primal movement, breath and sound.
Guided by Raphaëlle Normandin, certified in Ecstatic Leadership with Anahita Ahura

People look at your life and feel a little jealous.
You know it.
And still. Someone reaches for you and your body says “not now” before you’ve even decided. Pleasure became one more thing on the to-do list.
You’re not broken. You’re not ungrateful. You’re not asking for too much.
Your body has been on duty for years. And the wild part of you, the one who laughed too loud and wanted too much, got neatly folded and put away.
She doesn’t need another book. She needs to move, make noise, and feel something all the way through.
The Lioness Method™
Every call follows the same three movements. Each week, you go deeper.
The Prowl
Music on, eyes closed, intuitive dance. We release the three places mothers hold everything: the jaw, the shoulders, the hips.
The Roar
Primal movement and sound. You let your body move and sound the way a woman does in labor, when she stops caring how she looks.
Five sounds, from a soft hum to a full growl, and you name what’s present for you right now.
On our first call I will ask you to say out loud what you desire most.
On our second call I will lead you to a very special breathwork session
and on our third and final call I will lead you through a Shakti activation from my Ecstatic Leadership certification, to wake up (or AMPLIFY) your energy, pleasure and desire.
The Rest
Lions rest up to 20 hours a day. We take a full hour after each practice to slow down, digest, and share what moved, so the work actually sticks and you get to take the benefits of these practices into back into your daily life.
Why the body?
Research shows that pushing emotions down doesn’t make them go away: it ramps up your stress response. Simply putting a feeling into words calms the brain’s alarm center. And slow breathing with long exhales improved mood more than meditation in a Stanford study. Every call is built on that: feel it, name it, breathe it through.
My 8-year-old son named this method. When I asked him how he experiences me as his mother, he said: “The Lioness Method, mom.”
Hi, I'm Raphaëlle
I’m a somatic coach for ambitious mothers, certified in Ecstatic Leadership with Anahita Ahura, and the creator of The Lioness Method.
For 5+ years, I’ve studied relationships with Tony Robbins, Lisa A. Romano, Rising Woman, Jordan Gray and Alison Armstrong, and eros and embodiment with Demetra Gray, Perri Chase and Jaiya & Ian. Multiple six figures invested, and one body that never lies.
Here’s how it started.
Real estate agent at 20. Top 3% at 22. Multiple six figures. And I felt almost nothing.
Then I became a mother, and my p*ssy went quiet. For three years. Therapy twice a week, every book. It helped. It didn’t bring her back.
August 2021. A four-day online retreat. I booked the only sacred space a real estate agent knows: a hotel conference room. With wi-fi.
Day one, the teacher guided us into a p*ssy stroking practice. Glass walls everywhere. So I slid under the conference table, in my corporate dress, heart pounding.
I am alive. I am alive. I am ALIVE.
That’s where the Lioness Method was born. (Relax. No tables for you in this one.)
Today I’m a homeschooling mama of two, and women keep asking me how I hold it all and still seem so alive.
This is how.
How the 21 days work
3 live calls on Zoom · 2 hours each · recordings included
A private Telegram circle with daily voice drops from me and a reflection prompt
What you’ll need: a room with a door, a mat or a blanket, permission to make noise
What won’t happen: no nudity, no touching, nobody forces you to share. Camera on or off, your choice. You can pause, watch or skip anything.
My promise to you
You’ll walk away with a 10-minute practice that you can do on your own to bring yourself back into your body every time you’re about to snap or go numb.
And you’ll have said out loud, in front of other women, what you desire most. Most mothers haven’t done that in years.
What women notice after:
You ask for the massage without listing all the reasons you deserve it, without selling the idea of it it, without justying it or defending it.
You say no.
And you remember that NO is a complete sentence.
Your kid melts down in the grocery store and, for once, you don’t melt down with them.
“I sweated all night, and that never happens to me. My body is already releasing. I woke up dehydrated, wtf.” · Mélanie, 1:1 client
All levels welcome. Your body will only open what is ready to be opened.
What women say
(and one real estate client)
“Even though we were doing really dark work and going to places where I felt extremely resistant to go, Raphaëlle brought fun and lightheartedness to the process. She made it really easy to go there.”
· Nadine, 1:1 work during our Ecstatic Leadership certification
“I sweated all night, and that never happens to me. My body is already releasing. I woke up dehydrated, wtf. I feel hungover, but I didn’t drink.”
· Mélanie, 1:1 client
“Monday was really hard. So much anger and impatience, emotions coming up to the surface. Tuesday, softer. And since Wednesday, I feel really good. I accept the less pleasant emotions instead of burying them. The hypervigilance is almost gone. I’m relearning to do everything in the present moment, even the dishes I always rushed through.”
· Ébrielle, women’s circle
“We’re brave women jumping without a parachute, and you are the net that catches us gently, without constraining us, safe even when the container gets uncomfortable.”
· Josée, women’s circle
“Since Sunday, I’m less hypervigilant.”
· Weena, women’s circle
“Don’t let her softness and patience fool you. She is not afraid to defend what matters when it counts.”
· Real estate client

THE LIONESS INITIATION
This is for you if:
You look like you’re thriving, but inside you feel numb, bored or weirdly disconnected.
You love your kids fiercely, and you miss the woman you were before them.
Your relationship feels more like a logistics meeting than a love story.
You’re a little scared of growling on a Zoom call. And a little excited.
This isn’t for you if:
You want to lie still while someone plays a sound bowl over you. We move. We get loud.
You’re looking for talk therapy, or you’re in crisis right now. Please reach out to a mental health professional first.
You want explicit erotic practice. That lives in other containers.
This isn't about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering the woman you were before you shut parts of yourself down to survive.
No one else is coming. This is between you and you.
You know that moment you finally take your bra off at the end of the day? That exhale. That oh, there I am.
That’s what we’re doing here.
Your inner lioness is done napping.
