People are often curious about my work and like to ask me what I do as somatic sex educator and trauma practitioner. Instead of discussing my field - which is multifaceted and ever-changing- I prefer to talk to folx about why my clients come to see me.

In honor of Masturbation May (and any other day) I wrote these tips and practices to support folx in creating and fostering of a self-pleasure practice.

Weave in care routines that are both supportive of yourself and supportive of caring for others.
