Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
As a queer-identified woman, it is my deepest pleasure to support my LGBTQIA+ community in addressing their sexuality concerns. Pleasure is resistance! And our birthright. Somatic sex education offers the opportunity for you to address your sexuality concerns in partnership with your body. Learn how to access your body's wisdom to truly know what you want and how to discover and follow the pleasure available there. Or learn practical skills for sexual communication, mastered through coaching and simple practices so you "know" how to communicate not just intellectually but in your bones. And sometimes we just need a chance to learn the "facts" of sex education from a non-judgmental, inclusive lens, liberated from hetero and gender normative biases. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, not explained or tolerated. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients from a shame-free, sex-positive perspective, bringing years of experience and genuine investment in the specific ways that systemic harm, family rejection, religious trauma, and identity-based shame show up in our lives and bodies. I am completing certification in sexuality therapy and work from a trauma-informed approach that gets beneath the surface — because you came here to actually heal, not just be accepted. You already deserve acceptance. Let's get to the rest.
