It was in 2013 when I began my apprenticeship with Jaiya (world-renowned author, Somatic Sexologist and creator of The Erotic Blueprints™)…and that was also the same year that I took my first anatomy class with Ellen Heed. In 2016 I received my certification as a Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker. In 2018 I was certified as a STREAM Practitioner, which included a 10-day intensive hands-on training with both Kimberly Ann Johnson and Ellen Heed. The year of 2022 was the “next evolution” of the STREAM modality and training. I’m telling you…this work is profound. And for the last couple of years, I have also had the great honor and pleasure of assisting Ellen at each of her four yearly in-person trainings in Ashland, OR.
