Wheel of Consent® 5-day training for professionals
Meanjin/Brisbane
November 5th - 9th 2025
Like a Pro brings the transformative practice of the Wheel of Consent to professionals working with topics of consent, boundaries, relational intimacy, body sovereignty, trauma recovery, sexuality, communication, and touch. Originally developed for touch practitioners, the course has, by popular demand, expanded to include non-touch professionals like therapists, coaches, teachers, and workshop leaders.
This professional development training guides you into a personal somatic experience of The Wheel, and then teaches you how to integrate it into your practice, to make all your sessions safe, effective, and satisfying.
I am assisting the teaching team at this training.
Scholarships and payment plans available.

Embodied Eros Festival
Lewana Balingup, Western Australia
November 14th - 16th 2025
I’m facilitating two workshops at the Embodied Eros Festival, exploring embodied consent, desire, and connection. In Foundations of Erotic Connection, we use the 3-Minute Game and the Wheel of Consent® to cultivate clarity, care, and mutual respect in giving and receiving. In Receiving Fully, we explore the experience of wanting and deepen confidence in communicating desires with openness and consent. Both sessions invite curiosity, embodiment, and authentic connection inside and outside the bedroom.

Adolescence: A Panel's Perspective (and yours!)
Moore & Moore Cafe, Fremantle
Thursday November 27th 2025 5pm-9:30pm
I’m honoured to be part of this community panel exploring the themes raised in the Netflix miniseries Adolescence and what they reveal about the inner worlds of young people today. Together, we’ll be unpacking issues around gender, sexuality, identity, and the social influences shaping youth — including how the online world is impacting boys, girls, and gender-diverse young people.
From my perspective as a parent and educator working in the field of embodiment and consent, I’ll be reflecting on the importance of connection, communication, and curiosity in supporting young people as they navigate these complex times.
Featuring: Dr. Chantal Bourgault du Coudray, Jacob (Jake) Hammer, Dr. Khin Myint, Mackenzie Brown, Molly Tipping, Dr. Paul M. Pulé, & myself.

Practice Session for LAP Alumni
North Perth (Venue TBA)
December 7th 2025 2-5pm
$20
Molly Tipping and I are hosting an end-of-year Like a Pro Alumni Practice Group. A chance to reconnect, refresh, and practice together. This is an informal, professional space for Like a Pro graduates (including those completing their training soon) to revisit foundational practices such as Listening Turns, Waking Up the Hands, and the 3-Minute Game.
We’ll offer gentle guidance, but this is a peer practice session, not a workshop. A space to deepen your embodiment and connection with fellow practitioners.
If you’d like to join us or stay in the loop for future sessions, please email:
