Diane McCann
There is nothing wrong with you.
If you feel disconnected, diminished, unsure, or quietly longing for more, it is not because you are broken or lacking.
It is often because your wholeness — and perhaps the wholeness of your relationship — has been obscured by stories of not-enough, of shame, of forgetting.
This work is a coming home.
Not to an idea of who you should be —
but to who you have always been beneath those stories.
For women, it is a return to the living intelligence of the body, the heart, the sensual and the sacred — a remembering of the miracle of being alive as you.
For couples, it is a return to intimacy as a way of truly seeing and being seen — where desire, tenderness, and trust can breathe again.
I have been walking with people through this return for many decades.
I know the terrain — the fear, the resistance, the longing, and the courage it takes to let something real happen.
Here, you are not rushed.
You are not judged.
And nothing essential in you is treated as broken.
This is not about becoming someone else.
It is about coming home to yourself —
and, for those in relationship, remembering how to come home to each other from your hearts.
What has gone quiet can be rekindled.
What has been hidden can be met with kindness.
What feels lost can be remembered.
About / The Work
I have spent much of my life listening — to bodies, to relationships, and to the places where people lose touch with themselves and with one another.
Over time, I have learned that transformation does not come from striving or fixing, but from being met safely enough to let something true emerge.
My work is grounded in a simple knowing:
wholeness is not something we create — it is something we return to.
For women, this return often involves reclaiming the values of the Feminine — embodiment, intuition, presence, and the deep spirit of the Wise Woman that lives beneath conditioning and self-doubt.
For couples, it is a return to intimacy as a way of truly seeing and being seen — where safety, trust, and presence allow love and desire to deepen naturally.
I work with presence, integrity, and a deep respect for what is alive in people.
I pay attention to what is happening beneath the words, and I create environments where people are not rushed, judged, or asked to become someone else.
I have been working in this field for over six decades.
What has kept me here is not theory, but what I continue to witness when people are met with care: old patterns soften, life force returns, and something essential is remembered.
This work is not about transcendence or escape.
It is about coming home — into the body, into relationship, and into a deeper trust in life.
I welcome those who arrive with courage, curiosity, or simply a quiet sense that something more truthful is possible.
For Women
There comes a moment — sometimes quietly, sometimes with ache — when a woman realises she has been living at a distance from herself.
She may be capable, caring, and deeply giving.
She may have spent years tending to others — family, work, relationships — often without the same care being offered back to her.
This work is not about fixing what might feel broken.
It is about remembering what has never been lost.
Many women come not because something is wrong, but because they sense a longing for nourishment — for a beautiful, caring space in which they can soften, breathe, and simply be met.
A place to learn, and just as importantly, to unlearn what has kept them from themselves.
Here, there is no expectation to perform or to prove.
No pressure to arrive in a particular way.
Only an invitation to receive — presence, kindness, and a deeper connection to the living intelligence of your body and heart.
Over the years, this work has been offered as a gift between women — sisters, mothers, daughters, even grandmothers — passed on not because it is needed, but because it is life-giving.
I have walked alongside women in this return for decades.
I know the tenderness of the terrain, and the quiet strength that emerges when a woman is truly held.
If something in you is stirring — not from lack, but from readiness — this may be a doorway worth entering.
For Couples
Many couples arrive here not because love has disappeared, but because access to one another has become harder to find.
They may function well together.
They may share history, commitment, and care.
And yet, somewhere along the way, they have lost their way of truly seeing and being seen.
Some couples come at a moment of uncertainty — unsure how to reach each other from the heart, unsure how to rekindle desire without pressure or blame.
Others come because what they share is passionate and alive, and they wish to tend it with care, so it does not slowly erode under the weight of life.
This work is not about technique or performance.
It is about restoring safety, presence, and trust — the conditions in which intimacy naturally deepens.
Couples are guided back into a way of meeting that is honest, embodied, and alive.
Where listening becomes as important as touch.
Where desire is not forced or chased, but allowed to arise.
Over many years, I have witnessed relationships soften, strengthen, and in most cases be profoundly renewed — not by fixing what was wrong, but by remembering how to meet each other again.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to hope for more connection, and how transformative it can be when two people feel safe enough to turn toward each other once more.
This doorway is for couples who sense that something meaningful is possible — whether they are protecting what they love, or ready to rediscover it — and who are willing to meet each other anew, from their hearts.

Enquire / Register
If you are here, something in you may already know that it is time for a deeper engagement.
People arrive at this work in many ways — alone or together — carrying curiosity, longing, uncertainty, or simply a quiet sense that something meaningful is possible.
Some people feel clear and ready to register.
Others prefer to make contact first and ask a few questions. Both are welcome.
This work invites honesty, presence, and care, and it is not undertaken lightly.
If you would like to register for upcoming work, or explore whether this feels like the right next step, you are welcome to be in touch — by phone, email, or the enquiry form.
And,
A Bit More!
Diane McCann’s life has been devoted to awakening human potential. Trained extensively in the USA and England, she has walked the path of healing, personal growth, and conscious business for more than six decades—beginning with her very first workshop at just 13 years of age.
With qualifications in many alternative therapies, Diane supported individuals in private practice for over 50 years, offering deep insight, compassion, and transformation. From 1985 to 1992, she served as Co-Founder and South Australian Director of the Australian Institute of Rebirthing, helping to shape the foundation of conscious healing work in Australia.
In 1987, Diane birthed her signature women’s personal development journey, The Goddess Within—a program that has since been held internationally and continues to inspire women to reconnect with their inner wisdom, strength, and truth.
Together with her late husband, Robert Mathews, Diane shared and taught Tantra for more than 30 years, touching countless lives through their work until Robert’s sudden passing in May 2019. Today, Diane’s passion remains undiminished as she continues to witness profound transformations unfold through these teachings.
Diane creates magic for those who have forgotten what is possible—gently reminding people of who they truly are and the extraordinary lives they are here to live.
Introducing Our Dedicated Support People at Tantra
This work is led by me, and it is also held within a wider field of trusted support. Over time, I have trained and worked alongside people who share the values, care, and integrity that this work requires. Each person here has been chosen carefully and works within clear roles, so that the teaching space remains safe, grounded, and coherent. This wider circle of support ensures that the work is not carried by one person alone, but is held within a stable and reliable structure.
Senior Practitioners
I am currently working with two senior practitioners who teach alongside me within the Tantra work. They are deeply committed to the values of presence, integrity, and embodied awareness that sit at the heart of this work. Over time, they have taken on greater responsibility in co-facilitating this course, while I remain present as guide, mentor, and holder of the lineage.
Logistics & Practical Support
I am also supported by assistants who help hold the field during programs. Their role is to support the work as it unfolds — practically, emotionally, and energetically — so that participants are well cared for throughout their experience. The logistical and practical aspects of this work — including audio-visual support and all materials — are held by two people I trust deeply. Their care allows the teaching space itself to remain uninterrupted and well resourced.
And at The Goddess Within
This workshop has been conducted internationally for 39 years, but I recently made the decision to focus solely on South Australia. Support, both in the room and behind the scenes is invaluable to me. I have 16 volunteers, 12 of whom have been with me for at least 15 years, with some dedicating 25 to 30 years to this cause of empowering woman. I believe that women need safety, nurturing and support, whether they are taking a break or actively participating, and that’s exactly what this remarkable team of assistants provides—for both me and the participants. I feel truly blessed!
