What the actual F.A.Q?
Sexuality is powerful; and has far reaching effects in many aspects of life. My practice is based on the autonomous Science of Sexuality. I witness the healing power of the balanced, good, blissful side of sexuality as well as the dark and destructive side of sexuality when it is misunderstood, ignored and abused. My aim is to provide a safe space to explore and understand the impacts and power of all aspects.

What is your position on conversion therapy?
Backed by scientific evidence, I believe conversion "therpay" is abhorrent and criminal.
