If you're worried about how to bring up "The Talk" with your kids, I can help! Sexuality education is crucial, and unfortunately, is inadequate in most schools. Parents are the primary sexuality educators for their children, but can feel nervous/scared/embarrassed to have those difficult discussions. That's where I come in! If you're struggling on having age-appropriate, medically accurate, non-judgmental "sex talks" with the young people in your life, I can help you find the right words, the right time, and the right information. I am available for one-on-one sessions or can work with a whole group. I am a certified sexuality educator with years of experience teaching and working with people of all ages. Don't let the birds and bees scare you - I promise they don't sting ;-) Show less
