Biography
Maggie TapertMy personal quest for healing began in 1991 when my gynecologist discovered a large tumor growing on my right ovary. Although I confidently put myself in the care of traditional Western medicine, I knew I would need more than surgery to return to vibrant health. And so began a journey that took me around the globe and brought me into contact with some of the world’s most gifted teachers and healers. At journey’s end, I arrived at an understanding of the dynamics of illness and health and gained deep insight into the importance of living freely and passionately. My views on women’s health issues as well as female sexuality and spirituality were dramatically transformed. My personal healing path became the foundation of the teaching work that I have offered for a decade in workshops and private practice.
After earning a Masters in Energetic Medicine from Dr. Robert Jaffe’s School of Energy Mastery in Sedona, Arizona, I continued to study the healing work of Barbara Anne Brennan, Caroline Myss, Chris Griscom and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Blending the healing modalities of these powerful women with my own intuitive understanding of the spiritual journey from illness to health, I established a private practice in Switzerland and worked with terminally ill cancer and AIDS patients.
A longtime interest in sacred sexuality brought about collaborations with two renowned Tantric teachers who where working in Europe, John Bellicchi and Alan Lowen (the founder of The Art of Being*). Together with my women’s team, I created a modern day version of the healing temples that existed thousands of years ago. In the role of sacred prostitute, I had an opportunity to combine my intuitive knowledge of human sexuality with my skill in energy work to become a sexual healer. But my true calling immerged when I began focusing my energy specifically on female sexuality and started creating workshops exclusively for women. Releasing the confusion and sexual disorientation that is part of modern women’s regrettable heritage became the central theme of my work. I developed very simple and direct techniques to challenge and guide women out of their hopelessness and disappointment and into a rediscovery of sexual innocence and joy.
Today, I teach a pallet of unique programs for women that range from weekend get-togethers to a yearlong intensive course called Wings of Joy®. My hands-on approach to sexual healing attracts hundreds of women each year, as well as referrals from couple’s therapists throughout Europe.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, I have lived in Europe for over 30 years. I am a wife and the mother of two adult children and I live in Zurich, Switzerland. In 2003, Tim Luis my first grandson was born..
