Over the years, I’ve been championing {primarily} women’s
sexual rights in a variety of ways. In 2009, I founded The Keyhole Sessions under the moniker The Madame as a welcoming community for people to safely experience the union between sex and art. We held well over a hundred life-drawing & photography sessions, rogue Nuit Blanche events, and art exhibitions, all where we packed the house full of people interested in healthy sexual expression.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a passion for sex therapy. Also a certified sex educator, I’m always looking for interesting intersections of psychology, education, and sexuality. I was certified at SFSI {San Francisco Sex Information} in 2014, and also have certificates from University of Guelph’s Sex Therapy Intensive, as well as Sexplore’s SAR {Sexual Attitude Reassessment}. I completed my undergrad Specialist degree in Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto, {it being one of the world’s only schools to offer such a program} and finishing with the LGBTOUT scholarship award. I followed that up with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. I absolutely love learning.

I’m also a multiple award-winning feminist porn producer.
It’s important for me to produce erotic material that helps people safely express themselves sexually and consensually.
I take pride in providing an ethical filming environment to ensure all participants are getting what they want and need out of production. My films show real relationships and partner-pairs, in all their authentic pleasures.

For a beat, I was a practicing Certified Intimacy Coordinator, having done my training between Toronto and LA. Arisen out of the #MeToo movement, this new position is helping directors and actors safely navigate scenes of nudity and sexuality for mainstream film and television.

​

In early 2011, I co-founded SlutWalk Toronto as a way to combat victim-blaming and sexual profiling, for which I was named one of UTNE Reader's Top Visionaries, as well as one
of More Magazine’s Top 50 Fiercest Women. My co-founder
and I were speakers at TEDx Toronto 2012 talking about the ramifications of infected language. Individual SlutWalk events are now held in almost 300 cities around the world, advancing the conversation.

 

​

I’ve spoken on countless radio & tv shows and panels, and my work has been mentioned in publications from Cosmo to Men's Health to the NY Times. What can I say? I like talking. Sometimes I say nice things. Sometimes I don’t {but only if it’s necessary}.

​

​

I am part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and am sex-work-, polyam/nonmonogamy-, and kink-friendly {utilizing RACK principles}.

 

​

As a mother raising a human in a world where sexuality is feared, education is lacking, and the lines of respect & acceptance can be frighteningly blurry, it’s up to the unafraid to lead the way to a more enlightened future when it comes to sexual health.
