Hello, boundless beings,

What can I say? I’m a lot of things that words can’t express at the moment.

A lover of life and other people, learning, and experience. I’m an activist, a holistic healer, an interdisciplinary life long student & educator, a ritualist, an intuitive bodyworker, and a creative messy human. I’m queer and have lived experience with marginalized identities. I’m currently a somatic sex educator and sexological body worker in training.

I integrate almost a decade of advocacy and activist work, sex education, somatic training, studies and practice, embodied consent training, transformational personal growth, and psycho-educational studies alongside my current certification training to support you with your intentions and healing around sexuality, gender, relationship to self and the body, erotic connection, intimacy and relationship, and pleasure.

I have been holding space for the real, awkward, and beautifully poignant, complex conversations about sex and the body for much longer than my “formal” studies. It’s in my body, bones, and tissues to go deep and be present in sensitive spaces with others. I would love to connect with you.

Work with me
