“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.”
- Nelson Mandela
My Philosophy
I believe every child and adolescent deserves accurate, comprehensive, and developmentally appropriate education on human development and sexuality—delivered in a safe, compassionate environment. They also need opportunities to practice skills that foster self-awareness and support the ability to build healthy, lasting relationships. This kind of meaningful education happens when educators genuinely connect with their students, understand their perspectives, and engage in ways that feel relevant and respectful.
I believe that parents want to be empowered to guide their children and teens towards healthy choices, a positive sense of self, and fulfilling relationships according to their own values. They are able to do that when someone uncovers what they already know: how to affirm their children and nurture them through the joys and challenges of life.
My Approach
When I work with a school, I am engaging in a relationship with them. Their mission leads our work as we discover together what programming will best serve the needs of their students and community.
Students are at the center of my teaching. I engage them where they are with their questions, wonderings and needs leading the way. Facilitating real conversations that are grounded in their lives is my specialty.
Providing you human development program consultation and ongoing support
Every school has its own culture and values. I can work with your school to develop a plan that meets your school’s unique needs. This can include curricula development, classroom teaching, teacher training and/or parent engagement. And, if you are ready, we can build a comprehensive mission-aligned program from the ground up.
