FREE Report: 7 Keys to Wake Up Your Sex Life Now and Forever
Maci is the creator of Passion and Presence®.
Maci’s work combines the curious spirit of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy with Western neuroscience and contemporary sex therapy. Since 2010, she has led couples retreats and professional courses in Mexico, New Zealand, the USA, Europe, and Australia. Maci is an AASECT-certified sex therapist, Hakomi trainer, and author of Passion and Presence: A Couple’s Guide to Awakened Intimacy and Mindful Sex.
Maci has a doctorate in human sexuality from the Parkmore Institute and degrees in counseling and human development from Harvard and Georgia State Universities. She also completed the Intermediate Somatic Experiencing Training. Maci aspires to live a contemplative, pleasure-centered life where her heart is the primary driver. She spends her free time wandering the streets of Mallorca, Spain, where she lives with Halko Weiss. You will often find her standing awe-struck by the beauty of her surroundings or entranced by sheep bells. She gets her urban fix in Hamburg, her home away from home.
Halko is a Passion and Presence® facilitator and Maci’s life partner.
His 30 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist and couple’s therapist has led Halko to place great trust in the transformative power of love. Halko is a co-creator of the European Academy for Couple’s Therapy and a founding senior trainer of the US, German, Australian, and New Zealand Hakomi Institutes. He is the author of eight books and 20 articles and is on the advisory board of four peer-reviewed journals. When not writing about mindfulness or tending his 16-year-old twins, Halko is on the road leading trainings in Hakomi, couple’s therapy, and emotional intelligence in the workplace.
Julia is a Passion and Presence® facilitator who joined the team in 2011.
Maci calls Julia “the heart whisperer.” Julia believes that healthy sexuality is our birthright and is passionate about helping people gently and mindfully explore who and how they are in their erotic lives. Julia has provided healing services since 1998. First as a massage therapist with a passion for the mind/body connection and now as a somatic psychotherapist, international trainer, and facilitator. She is a Certified Hakomi Trainer, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Julia lives in the Southeastern U.S. with her beloved of more than 20 years. You can find her unwinding in the cedar hot tub in her garden when she’s not off seeing her favorite bands play live.
