First as a non-monogamous educator and podcaster with my partner. In April 2021 I decided that I wanted to expand my knowledge surrounding sex education and enrolled in school to become a certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker. I have recently completed my fourth Core Course with my Institute and I am a certified "Like a Pro" graduate with the School of Consent. I am currently starting a waitlist to work with clients both online and in-person.
