ABOUT ME
My philosophy and how I got here
My Work is at the Intersection of Mindfulness, Consent, Embodiment, and Sexuality
As a somatic coach and facilitator, I guide you in bringing awareness to what you want in your life and to communicate those desires.
I’ve been working in this space since 2016 and I’ve had the opportunity to guide hundreds of people through a process of self-discovery in workshops, private sessions, and at Tantra and sexuality festivals across Europe and Australia.
I’m grateful for the influence of my teachers — sensual embodiment leaders Regena Thomashauer, creator of The School of Womanly Arts, and Sheila Kelley, creator of S Factor, as well as the Grand Dame of Consent and creator of the Wheel of Consent, Dr. Betty Martin.
Other collaborations include:
Co-founder of the School of Consent with Dr. Betty Martin
Coach and consultant for Self:Cervix
Co-creator of the Self:Cervix Bodywork Training
Teacher, Certificate in Sexological Bodywork, Sea School of Embodiment
How I Got Here
I spent more than 15 years working in leadership development in the environmental sector. In 2012, I was diagnosed with cancer. Forced to slow down, I realized that I’d been so focused on taking care of others, I had lost my ability to express my own needs and desires. I didn’t even know I had needs and desires.
Desire became my guide on my healing journey.
As a former Mormon, I had a big learning curve. What did I want? What lit me up? What brought me joy? As I explored this, I started to see the necessity — and the healing power — of connecting to joy and pleasure.
Researching pleasure changed my life. I began to dream bigger, and to live out my desires and my vision. I learned to love being alive, with all its ups and downs.
This is why I feel so passionate about helping others find pleasure — in their bodies, and in their lives.
