Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator
-
Feb 2021 - Present
Holistic Sexuality Educators facilitate a profound opening of our awareness while achieving the highest standards of professional development. A variety of areas are covered such as trauma, disability, culture, and spiritual approaches to sexuality. We believe that we learn best when we are having fun, challenging our minds, and our whole bodies are engaged. Because most of us have learned about sex in less than desirable ways, the study of sexuality often brings up intense emotions, excitement, hopes and fears. Even when we are in a professional atmosphere, it is essential that we give ourselves room. The The goal is to have students walk away with not only cutting edge knowledge of the topic at hand, but also a deeper sense of connection with the material. Show less

Confidence and Body Empowerment Coach
-
Mar 2020 - Present
I help women and femmes build the unshakeable confidence needed to step into their power. Together, we get clear on what they really want, need, and desire. I teach the tools necessary to help them love and accept themselves as they are in this moment, because they are enough right now as is. They learn how to affirm themselves, validate themselves, drop limiting beliefs like self-doubt, over come their fears and take action on their wildest dreams. After the coaching program, they begin to honor every part of who they are, give themselves grace, and truly belief in their limitless abilities. Show less
