My name is Nadiya Williams, and I am the founder of Feminine Revival, a place for women's rediscovery of the sensual self. Feminine Revival grew out of a regenerative process I experienced, the reawakening of sexual energy that I had lost through difficult life circumstances. 

I grew up in Ukraine, left for Paris at a very young age, and worked as a fashion model for 20 years. In 2009, I moved again, this time to start a new life in New York City. I thought I was fulfilled, happy.

Then -- breast cancer. And a divorce. These things changed my life and my perspective forever. After treatment, I was lucky to become cancer-free, but the treatment had hidden side effects, amplified by the painful break-up I’d gone through: self-doubt, lack of self-confidence, loss of sexual desire. My femininity seemed to be slipping away. I needed a way to believe in myself again, revive my sensuality, and recover the many pleasures of being a woman.

My search led me to Intimate Fitness, a world-renowned program for training a woman’s most intimate muscles -- but, more than that, Intimate Fitness is a technique for teaching women to relate to their bodies differently. For me, it offered an entirely new way of looking at myself, and it improved my health and the quality of my relationships. With daily practice, my desire reawoke: for sensuality, for sex, for love.

This was truly a life-changing experience, and I knew I had to share it with other women. I dedicated myself to learning more about Intimate Fitness and became a certified instructor, and then I grew from there: I attended the International Academy of Sexology in Russia, studying psychology, female and male sexual experiences, and cervical awakening. I became a certified Reiki healer and a certified holistic sex educator. I made it my goal to help other women the same way I had helped myself. Now, through Feminine Revival, I do just that.
