My Values & Commitments
How I approach ethics, consent, harm, repair and responsibility within this work.
My Work Is Rooted In These Beliefs
✺ Your body is wise.
✺ My role is not to tell you who to be, what to feel, or what is true for you.
✺ My role is to create conditions that support curiosity, learning, agency and deeper relationship with yourself.
Consent Is Foundational
✺ Consent is not a checkbox. It is an ongoing practice.
✺ I believe it is integral to first address power dynamics and habitual patterns of protection that may impede the ability to access your empowered choice and voice.
✺ As a way to interrupt patterns of enduring you may have learned, and support you in cultivating self-trust, I will celebrate any moments of you changing your mind, asking questions, declining suggestions, taking breaks, or stopping entirely.
✺ I believe meaningful learning happens when choice, agency and autonomy are centered.
You Are The Expert On Your Experience
✺ I do not position myself as an authority on your body.
✺ I bring training, tools, education and support.
✺ You bring your lived experience.
✺ Together, we create space for exploration, learning and discovery.
Pleasure And Liberation Are Connected
✺ Many of us have inherited shame, disconnection and survival strategies from living within systems that benefit from our separation from ourselves, each other and the living world.
✺ I believe pleasure can be a powerful resource for healing, aliveness, imagination and collective liberation.
✺ I also believe pleasure is never an obligation.
✺ Your no is as welcome as your yes.
Boundaries Create Safety
✺ Clear boundaries allow this work to remain ethical, sustainable and supportive.
✺ I maintain professional boundaries with participants and clients.
✺ The purpose of our work together is education, embodiment and personal growth.
Accountability Is A Practice
✺ I am committed to ongoing education, mentorship, supervision and self-reflection.
✺ I will make mistakes.
✺ When harm occurs, I believe in practicing account-ability and repair when possible.
✺ I am committed to continually examining how power, privilege and oppression shape this work and my participation within it.
Everyone Deserves Dignity
✺ I strive to create spaces where queer, trans, disabled, neurodivergent, BIPOC and otherwise marginalized people are treated with dignity, respect and care.
✺ Perfection is not required.
✺ Curiosity, consent and humanity are.
A Living Practice
✺ This is not a fixed set of rules.
✺ It is an ongoing practice of listening, learning and aligning my actions with my values.
✺ Because how we do the work matters just as much as the work itself.
