Teaching

My first love (and career) was teaching. I started facilitating Leadership Development courses for undergraduate students before I had even completed my bachelor’s degree (in education, of course).

I’ve since had the pleasure of guest lecturing, teaching, and facilitating at college campuses, in nonprofits, corporations and small businesses across the US.

Read about the courses I’ve taught on campuses or talks I’ve given here.

Online Courses

Online courses for healthy relationships and better sex to work on in the privacy of your own home at your own pace.

It’s the sex education you wish everyone received.

In-Person Workshops

Customized workshops for your community or attend one of the monthly webinars I host to enrich your relationship with yourself and those you love.

Never boring. Always useful

Group Facilitation

Learning on your own can help- but the best way to integrate relational learning is in a group setting.

Join one of the many small groups I facilitate or invite me to facilitate in a community you care for.
