Facilitator Bio

I am a certified sexological bodyworker, a Wheel of Consent® facilitator, and an erotic educator. Becoming a registered nurse in the 80’s, I carry 40 years’ experience from nursing in community-based women’s health, sexual health, HIV, and LGBTIQA+ health.

I’m a queer, white-bodied older femme, valuing cultures of care, intergenerational queer kinships, and embodied consent practices. I work in-person and online with individuals, couples and thruples, and offer groups, workshops, speaking requests and peer consultation.

My work centres an embodied approach to choosing, consent, and pleasure. I teach people about their bodies, to notice their desires and limits, and to experience choice. This includes practicing ways to communicate with others, whether in sexual or non-sexual interactions.

I am on the training team and faculty of the School of Consent and run my own 2-day Wheel of Consent® workshops for general community as well as queer-only.

Through the Wheel of Consent® I have learned radically clear agreement making and its transformational role in relationships with self and others; in sex, play, kink and community making, and in everyday relating.
I live on unceded Aboriginal land - Dharawal country - on the South Coast of NSW, Australia.

Workshop 2's Intention:

To play with personal space, proximity to others, and how these feel in the body. Opportunities to choose how to explore this with touch or non-touch activities, to notice impulses, choices and limits in relation to self and others. Based on Wheel of Consent, experiential.

Workshop 2 rough format:

Opening round. A range of opt-in games / activities that may or may not include touch. Some solo, some paired or trios, some the whole group, Reflection between each activity. Closing round.

Workshop 2 program description:

I am yet to write this! Similar to the one last year but this one is a bit more of a 'theatre games' approach.
I am happy to tailor this one to be complementary to the ones you are planning with the whole group around consent and choice and limits etc.
