I was raised in the Texas desert, flew out of the nest to Austin as soon as I could fly, and lived in San Francisco before returning to Austin to build my own nest. I had almost no information about healthy sex or intimate relationship before I started doing them myself.
I haven’t just read about sexual freedom. I’ve explored every sexual fantasy. I’ve stood on mountaintops and fallen into black holes. I’ve heard we can’t have an intimate relationship that includes both excitement and safety, and I don’t believe it.
I am a lover of evolution. I’m a cushion sitting, yoga and jogging enthusiast. I love sitting in hot springs in the mountains and riding my motorcycle. I set an intention to live every aspect of my life in integrity and I have been on that journey ever since.
For years, I have served clients as a professionally certified surrogate partner, clients who felt they might not ever be able to have a successful intimate relationship. I have watched as they have succeeded beyond all expectations.
Nothing makes me happier than to behold a sexual awakening. I believe that when all of us shed guilt, shame and judgment around our sexuality, all of the problems of the world will be solved because we will no longer desire to harm one another.
My long term professional goal is:
The next client who hires me will have a major life-changing transformation.
Let’s break old beliefs about sex and intimate relationship, in a professional, relatable way, opening up exciting new possibilities for love.
Here are some topics I would love to discuss with you and your audience:
Explore Body Freedom
Whether you’re lonely, anxious about dating, mourning a breakup, or in a relationship and longing for more, body freedom lets you be the lover you were born to be.
value add:
We will learn the potential of body freedom, and lay the foundation for body freedom by experiencing “body safety” and understanding it’s value.
The Power of Touch
Touch is essential to human life. The direct experience of pleasure through our hands, which must be developed through practice, is essential to being a great lover.
value add:
We will learn how to wake up our hands, and the vast benefits available if we cultivate the direct pleasure pathways that are closed for most of us.
Consent in the #metoo Era
Finally. A simple system for consent that opens the full flow of desire within clear, safe limits. Get confident in your touch, pleasure and sexual expression.
value add:
Consent is different depending on who the act is for. We will learn to make a clear request, a clear offer, and to give and receive genuine consent.
Surrogate Partner Therapy
A substitute partner who teaches through the experience of intimate relationship. Invented by Masters & Johnson in 1970, find out where the practice is today.
value add:
Bust myths about this method, which is more necessary than ever whether you have sexual “dysfunction,” are a late-life virgin or just plain lonely.
Some of my favorite topics are listed, above, in the “Media Pitch” section of this listing. Here are a few additional more random questions:

My 20 years of speaking experience is in courtrooms, state legislative committees, city council meetings, in media and other formal environments. As a sex educator, my main speaking experience is leading our meetup, which has over 2000 members. Few of these engagements have ever been recorded.
