"I am a lifelong learner, traveler, and adventurer who has settled into life in Florida as a happy wife, animal and plant Mom, while still praying every day to birth a child. I’ve led many lives, gifting me a lifetime of experiences: cross-cultural relationships, diverse sexual journeys, and deep self-discovery. All along the way I have shared open conversations about sexuality, reproductive health, and fertility. Through my teachings, I aim to help women and girls of all ages navigate their sexual health, feel seen, release shame, and feel empowered in their bodies, minds and lives."
