Who is it for?
This class is intended for cisgender women, trans women and nonbinary folks assigned female. I endeavor to bring a trauma-informed, inclusive, consent-based approach to the exploration of embodiment and sexual wellness within a safe and confidential container, recognizing existing systems of sexism, heterosexism, and enculturated gender norms.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or to find out if this class series is a good fit for you.
From recent participants:
"Thank you for teaching such a pleasure-filled, transformative, revolutionary class. The lessons have truly stuck with me." - Kira
"I gained so much through the course process which was somehow gentle, deeply stirring, and transformational for me all at once.
Katie is intentional about both trauma and inclusion; disability, pain, racial trauma, motherhood, loss of babies, non-motherhood, divergent histories were all welcomed. The space she held was safe and calm. Each exercise and topic was framed as an invitation to happily opt out of or decline, which helped me feel safe/grounded." - Megan M.

This class is for teens between ages 15 -17 who have internal reproductive anatomy including cisgender girls and trans or gender nonconforming teens assigned female at birth.
