ABOUT ME
A guide who's walked this path
My path into this work started with my own body, long before the lecture hall. I've spent a lifetime exploring what pleasure, intimacy and connection really mean, and over a decade helping others do the same.
Some of what I've learned, I've learned the hard way and some the fun way. I'm bisexual, in a long-term non-monogamous relationship that looks pretty straight from the outside, and I've spent years working across sex-positive and adult spaces. I've wrestled with sexual shame like most people have and experienced sexual harm. And right now I'm in perimenopause, which, to my genuine surprise, has been one of the best things to happen to my sex life. It was a rocky start, but it forced me to slow down, get curious again, and expand my pleasure spectrum
What all this means for you: there's not much you can tell me that will shock me, and nothing you bring will be judged. I bring my lived experience to the work, but in the room, your story is the one that matters.
"No matter how you define or
experience your sexuality,
gender, or relationships,
you're always welcome here."
You know your life better than anyone. I'm here to help you make sense of it.
HOW I WORK
My approach to sexology
HUMANISTIC
I see you as whole, capable, and full of potential. Not as a problem to be pathologised, labelled, and 'fixed'.
SOMATIC/EMBODIED
Because we are more than just our thoughts, and sexuality doesn't just happen in the head.
TRAUMA INFORMED
Whatever you've been through shapes how we work together - safely, with care, and at your pace.
HOW I CAME TO THIS WORK
My story: how I came to sexology
In my mid 20s, after a lifetime of mostly unsatisfying partnered sexual experiences, I had a sexual awakening. It was an exciting but confusing time as I found myself navigating the uncertain space between disembodiment and sexual awakening. I had no idea who to turn to for guidance so instead I fumbled my way through as I sought sexual liberation in a society where female sexual empowerment was generally met with unease.
Yes - it was a fun, exciting, and subversive time for me but it was also messy and confusing, and at times it was downright traumatic. My experiences awakened a deep calling in me to support people to navigate their sexual wellbeing with more power, pleasure, and self-compassion than was available to me at the time.
"I started Pleasure Spectrum
because I wish something like it
had existed for me."
Now I specialise in guiding people to unravel layers of social conditioning, shame, and expectation around sex, pleasure, and desire. So you don't have to go it alone like I did.
