Education and Coaching

Practical learning for greater understanding, stronger communication, and more informed choices.

You can bring the question you have been rehearsing in your head. The awkward one counts, too. We can talk about bodies, pleasure, access, relationships, or the words you need for a difficult conversation.

Hire me for: Individual or relationship coaching, sexual health education, guest lectures, and professional development.

My education and coaching explore bodies, relationships, power, and access through reflection and practical skills you can use in everyday life and professional practice.

Sexual health education that people can use

I teach about anatomy, pleasure, intimacy, relationships, consent, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and communicating about sexual health. The content and activities are shaped for the age, questions, access needs, and context of the people learning.

For blind and low vision learners, accessible education means more than reading a handout aloud. It can include tactile anatomy models, clear verbal description, opportunities to explore educational materials, and practice with communication and self-advocacy. Participants choose how they engage; nobody needs to share personal sexual experiences.

Experience behind this work

My experience spans reproductive health education with TeenSMART, youth and adult sexual health programs at LightHouse, and education for parents, teachers, and blindness professionals. I connect sexual health with the Expanded Core Curriculum so consent, body knowledge, relationships, and access are part of everyday learning.

Individual, relationship, and small group coaching

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Coaching offers space to ask questions, sort through an experience, prepare for a conversation, or identify next steps.

I work with individuals, partners, families, and small groups, including blind and disabled people and people in different relationship structures. You do not need to be blind or disabled to ask about working together.

Topics may include:

Consent, boundaries, communication, dating, and relationships.
Sexual health, pleasure, intimacy, identity, gender, and body autonomy.
Ableism and internalized ableism, including messages that shape confidence, belonging, and sexuality.
Self-advocacy, access needs, and navigating education, healthcare, and service systems.
Preparing for school planning meetings, advocacy conversations, and difficult family discussions.
Blindness, disability, life transitions, leadership, and community responsibilities.

Education and professional development

I offer workshops, guest lectures, conference presentations, and learning series for students, educators, families, professionals, and community groups. Topics include public health and disability justice, sexual health and body autonomy, consent, access, and advocacy.

Workshops include Sexual Health, Disability, and Body Autonomy and Internalized Ableism: Getting Out of Your Own Way. Sessions connect ideas with everyday situations and practical language.

My approach

Blind positivity and sex positivity make room for curiosity, pleasure, identity, and self-direction. Cultural humility means I listen to your experiences and priorities and examine my assumptions. Harm reduction means discussing information, options, and risks without shame.

Disability justice informs how we understand barriers and support. Working on personal skills can happen alongside recognizing what a family, organization, or system needs to change. Interdependence and access needs belong in the conversation.

Consent culture also shapes how we work together: your pace, boundaries, and choices matter. We discuss privacy, expectations, and whether the support is a good fit. Depending on your goals, we may use resources, practice conversations, or agree on activities between sessions.

Formats and rates

Choose a focused single session, ongoing coaching, or small group support where available. Coaching is generally offered by phone or online. We can discuss other arrangements and access needs in advance.

Individual coaching is offered on a sliding scale of $75 to $125 per 50-minute session. Choose any amount within that range based on your resources, or speak with me about a rate that works for you. No explanation or proof of income is required.

Limited lower-cost or no-cost coaching spaces may be available, depending on my schedule and capacity.

Workshops

Workshops are typically 90 minutes; Consent 101 is one hour. For for-profit organizations, a 90-minute workshop on an existing topic starts at $500. This includes a one-hour planning conversation and preparation time for the workshop. New or substantially adapted workshops, consulting, and ongoing work receive a custom quote. Any travel costs are agreed separately.

For nonprofits, introductory consent sessions are $150 per teaching hour, or you can contact me to discuss other arrangements. Other nonprofit and community workshops and trainings are quoted separately.

Accessible anatomy

I proposed tactile sexual anatomy materials to a UC Berkeley design team. Their development and testing with blind and low vision participants produced models for sexual health education. Explore the models & development story.
