“Anne has been facilitating groups with us for [more than] two and a half years. It has been great watching how the kids respond to non shaming sex education. Anne works with the teens and is open, honest, and direct, which many of us in this world struggle to be regarding sex and gender. Thank you for teaching from a non shaming place! We are lucky to have you!”

From PR to educational content development and event production, Anne contributes high quality content, and an informed network of pleasure and wellness experts cultivated over her 15 year career. As an educator, Anne is engaging and compassionate. She brings empathy, humor, and an incredible wealth of knowledge to all of her courses, presentations, and materials.
