It’s my passion to provide opportunities for women/vulva-havers to explore their sexuality, heal body shame, and maximize pleasure. I create a warm, supportive space for women/vulva-havers of all ages. I’m comfortable with all forms of sexual expression including, BDSM, swinging, polyamory, and LGBTQ. As for me, I’m kinky, plus-sized, and post-menopausal with a wide variety of experiences to support you in your journey.
Carlin invited me to join the Betty Dodson Foundation Board of Directors after Betty’s death. I’m a certified Bodysex Coach as well as editor-in-chief of Bodysex.com and BettyDodson.com. I support Bodysex educational classes, events, and workshops plus manage the Bodysex Coach Certification program.
I’ve followed Betty Dodson since reading Sex for One in 1992. My first Bodysex Workshop with Betty in 2016 set me on the path to finding self-love. Professionally, I spent 37 years in the field of education, from teaching first grade to Master’s level college courses for teachers seeking certification. I have a background in curriculum development. I love building WordPress websites and creating online courses. My “retirement” years are now dedicated to Bodysex.
When I look back at my life, all of my experiences and skills have led me to Bodysex and continuing Betty’s legacy. I am beyond grateful to be working with Carlin and the BAD Foundation. I am honored to help women experience more pleasure, heal shame, and find self-love through Bodysex.
