New Demo Reel as Sexuality Speaker

My passion is public speaking around sexuality topics. I love creating safe and fun spaces to speak about taboo topics, and make them accessible and real. We need this in the United States. Plastering sex everywhere, yet not providing nonjudgmental and factual places to learn about sex, is a problem. I reduce shame, silence, and misconceptions, and create empowerment, communication, and authenticity.

My primary speaking topics include: sex, sexual health, intimacy, healthy relationships, communication, and mindfulness. If your university, organization, or conference is in need of a memorable and powerful speaker, get in touch with me to leave a lasting impression.

Speaker for Women's Conferences & Events on Mindfulness and Intimacy

We all struggle at various times with relationships, communication, intimacy, or sex, and I find that cultivating the skill of mindfulness can have a profound impact on our happiness and fulfillment in these areas.
