I am a white, plus-size (tall and mid-fat), neurodivergent, queer/bisexual, nonbinary/GNC/genderqueer femme with a background in sex work, BDSM, and polyamory/ethical non-monogamy. I can serve as a consultant and choreographer for pieces dealing with any of those identities. I additionally have a background in trauma and intimacy, intimate partner abuse, Catholicism and intimacy, and intimacy for intellectually and physically disabled/divergent folks.
I can also provide educational services regarding comprehensive, medically accurate, and inclusive sex ed, as well as crash courses in storytelling in the body and consent and negotiation skills.
