Making Pleasure A Priority I can remember those orgasms when I was around 16. Enjoying discovery my body’s pleasures. It was so easy to orgasm by humping a pillow or the edge of a mattress. What fun, experimenting with what movement felt good and what felt awesome. My magic fingers, pressing (varied pressures) and caressing […]
I am so proud to announce that I completed my BodySex Certification in April 2025. Resulting in holding my inaugural Ontario BodySex Circle in May 2025. It was exciting to facilitate sharing Dr Betty Dodson’s iconic BodySex rituals. Knowing that as the participants learn about their evergreen clitoral system and touch themselves in the right […]

I have found them all to be sacred spaces where I feel invited to abide (rest/dwell) in the circle’s spirit of reciprocity, equanimity and […]
Revisiting Menopausal Hormone Therapy When I was a new Nurse Practitioner (NP), the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) evidence-based medicine guidelines scared the sh * t out of many prescribers. I was one of them. HRT went from being the miracle drugs for treating perimenopausal and postmenopausal symptoms to OMG: in treating hot flashes with HRT we are increasing […]
As a child born in the early 1960’s the message was simple: abortion is a sin and so is sex outside of marriage. So, I never thought much about abortions or marriage. Then at the age of 12, I remember my teacher asking if there are any circumstances when abortion is acceptable? Not even truly […]
