I am a Certified Sexual Health Educator and a Registered Nurse.

I live, work, and play on the unceded homelands of the she shashishalhem and the Skwxwu7mush speaking peoples of the Sechelt and Squamish First Nations as an uninvited white settler of Ukrainian Ancestry. I start with this acknowledgment as part of my commitment to attending to the truth of my relationship to these lands, the truth of genocide and this cultural project we call Canada.

I am also a mother, a daughter, a life partner, a sister. I am many things and have experienced many joyful and insufferable moments, just like every other human being. Many experiences have shaped my life to be where it is today. The event that has led me to become a sexual health educator was the sexual abuse I experienced as a child. When I became a mother, the need to understand sexuality and prevent sexualized violence became even more important. However, I have always known I would guide people through their journey since I was 10. At 10, I made the decision then that I would start my journey to empowerment and I knew one day I would share this journey with the intention to facilitate healing after trauma and promotion of joy and pleasure in this beautiful life.

Come join me if you would like as I guide you through a journey of understanding the concepts of sexuality and trauma through a trauma-sensitive lens that gently explores this topic in a positive approach. I partner with individuals and with communities who would like to build their capacity to understand sexuality and trauma from a phenomenological approach and within the contextual lens of attachment theory and neuroscience. I have created programs suitable for children and youth, parents and community leaders who work in a variety of settings, including, but not limited to schools, preschools, community centers, and healthcare.

Sharing stories, questions and ideas about our bodies and discussing sexuality and trauma can create a sense of vulnerability and uneasiness. Sacred Learning Space ensures that the shared space is respectful of all body stories, which hold various forms of values, identities and experiences. Workshops are offered in the schools, in the workplace and in the community to students, parents, care-givers and care-providers, and adults throughout the lifespan.

Consulting services are offered to educators who would like to strengthen their capacity to offer positive messaging around intimacy and healthy relationships, gender equality and gender identity, sexual and reproductive health and rights, body image and sexualization.
