About the Author

Integrative Sexuality Education is a different kind of sex ed. My qualifications come from my personal experience, careful listening to others, thousands of hours of research, and forty years of working with children and teens. I have worked with children in a wide variety of settings, birthed and raised two children to adulthood, and helped raise seven more bonus kids. I come to this work with the deep humility of someone who has seen what happens when theory meets reality. Sometimes theory merges nicely into reality and sometimes it doesn’t!

There are certain biological facts about human bodies, and I have done my best to make sure those are accurately represented. But sexuality education isn’t primarily about facts. Sexuality is about the experience of being human.

I make no claims to know Truth, and I certainly don’t claim to know what’s best for you or your family. But I can provide a framework for you to have these important conversations. In these sessions, I try to provide a whirlwind tour of different perspectives and information, complete with citations if you want to explore a particular perspective in more depth. Am I neutral about these perspectives? Nope, I have my own opinions! I will likely seriously annoy you at least once. But that’s the point. I offer a framework and a scaffold for you to fill. If I am completely and utterly wrong about something, please take the time to discuss and explain just how wrong I am, and why. There’s likely a few other people in the world who share my misguided ideas. Use me as a contrast to explore and refine your understanding of Truth, and learn to discuss it with others.

And if you agree with my opinion on something, hopefully that will spark interesting conversations too.

This program is under development and will probably go through several major revisions in the next few years. I will be an active participant on the discussion boards, and I’m really interested to hear what’s working well and what is not. I believe that together we can build something beautiful.

Thank you for embarking on this journey,
