Let’s reimagine consent

A path to more freedom, power & connection for everyone

Learn practical tools to craft stronger relationships with yourself and others, with clarity and confidence.

Great relationships don’t just happen, they are something we create together through awareness, choice, and how we show up for each other. At Consent Craft, I support people in developing the skills to build confidence in all their relationships, make meaningful choices, and connect with others in ways that are clear, caring, and authentic. I go beyond rules and checklists, focusing on real skills — learning to trust the self and express in ways that create strong, healthy, and respectful connections.

What makes Consent Craft different?

Body, choice and creativity

Consent Craft helps you create more ethical, respectful, and fulfilling relationships by teaching you how to engage with yourself and others with clarity, care, and mutual respect. Unlike traditional consent education, which relies on knowledge-based learning and a focus on problems, legal rules, and risk, Consent Craft takes an innovative, creative, strengths-based, and body-focused approach with practical skills that create meaningful real-world impact.

Meet Vanessa

Hi, I’m Vanessa K. Vance, the founder of Consent Craft, I offer a holistic approach to embodied consent by combining my expertise as a Somatic Sex Educator and Registered Creative Arts Therapist (ANZACATA).

With over a decade of experience facilitating groups on embodiment, communication, and consent, together with a master’s degree in creative arts therapies, I use activities like art, movement, play, and storytelling, with pioneering consent frameworks, to help people express their experiences and access more choice and integrity in their relationships.
