About Me

My name is Gwen, and I’m a sex educator, researcher, and writer, tarot reader, and sexuality & spirituality consultant based in Maine.

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from the University of Southern Maine. Currently, I work as a Confidential Resource Advisor and educator on sex and relationships for Maine’s Community Colleges. I also provide educational consultations on sex and relationships, tarot readings, wedding officiation, writing, and other courses and events by request for individuals, couples, and corporations.

My work centers on the intersections of sexuality, spirituality, and psychology, with associated disciplines such as philosophy, poetry, and neuroscience. Stemming from my interdisciplinary academic background, I believe in the convergence of multiple fields to co-create a nuanced understanding of the human experience. Currently, I work with individuals (through tarot readings, coaching, and educational consulting), groups (through live and prerecorded events and courses), and brands like Durex, K-Y, and pjur (through professional consulting and writing).

My ethics are grounded in accurate, inclusive, and judgment-free information for all. I believe everyone deserves to have the resources and information to understand and embrace their sexual and spiritual identities.

Read below for more info on my style, my story, and how we can connect further.

My Style:

Approachable: From my training as a pleasure-positive and kink-affirming sex educator, I cultivate a non-judgmental and safer space in group and private sessions. I frame all aspects of education with curiosity and openness, encouraging folks of all identities to deconstruct societal standards and personalize their pleasure.

Authentic: In my educational services, I embrace skepticism and belief, empirical evidence and personal experience, and I help my clients to see the value in each. I will always provide you with options to help you problem-solve. Your autonomy is my priority.

Academic: Although the subject matter I work with can be abstract and subjective, my approach is grounded in research. I appreciate the intuitive and fluid nature of sexuality and spirituality, as well as the clinically-proven benefits of connecting with such personal aspects of ourselves. I am always learning, and I want to provide that same educational excitement and value to my community.

My Story:

I was raised Roman Catholic and went to Catholic school for the formative years of middle school. Sex was not to be discussed, and the patriarchal spirituality I was raised with was not to be questioned.

In college, I pursued a degree in Women’s and Gender Studies, interned at Planned Parenthood, and got a job as a sex educator at a woman-owned sexuality boutique called Nomia. Exposure to feminist scholarship, sexual and reproductive healthcare, and sex-positive education motivated me to pursue a career as a sexuality professional. Simultaneously, I sought out a feminist-informed spirituality and found paganism. I now own a business as a sexuality & spirituality professional while attending graduate school to expand my career into research, teaching, and clinical work.
