Before you book — read this

There is no statutory licensing body for tantra in Ireland. The scene is self-regulating, so the responsibility for vetting your practitioner sits with you. Our how to choose a practitioner page lays out the green flags, red flags and the questions to ask before paying. Your tantra questions covers the longer-form practical concerns. Read both before you spend money.
