In this upcoming workshop, I lead an exploration of how systemic and institutionalized inequity shows up in clinical framework and practice and provides an alternative narrative where kink is held as not only a healthy manifestation of sexuality but as an avenue for healing.

Join me at UCI Health Gender Diversity Program’s first annual Transgender Health Community Conference on March 15, 2020. I’ll be there representing Gather & Grow OC with Ami Amimoto.
Stick around as I’ll be facilitating the presentation + panel “How Do I Know I’m Doing the Right Thing?” from 3:15pm - 4:05pm at Tamkin Hall.
Join me at Queerfully & Wonderfully Made’s Love and Sex Night on Queer Polyamory!
So grateful to be invited in to share with the QWM community!
I’d love for you to come join me on Thursday nights from 7:50 pm - 8:50 pm for a Mindful Slow Flow class. Every BODY will be welcome in these classes! They will also be LGBTQ Affirming and Trauma Sensitive.
Special considerations for those interested: Low lighting will be used in the space and classes will be set to music. There will be mild aromatherapy offerings that can absolutely be declined by the individual or class. Consent will be honored as a highest priority! There will be an invitation for gentle flow but participants will be encouraged to listen to their bodies and hearts first and foremost as long as they remain respectful of the rest of the community.
Please, register online here. If you’re a new student to Unfold OC please take advantage of your FREE 20 minute Success Session with studio owner: April Lovett!!!
The visibility and acceptance of open relationships is increasing. They’ve always been around in formal and informal ways, but running into them is becoming much more common. You’ll find folks of every sexual orientation and gender identity exploring different formats, and even finding pride in labeling their relationships in alternative ways.
But does non-monogamy live up to the radical hype?
Our relationships, non-monogamous or otherwise, are as radical as we are conscious. Ethical and intersectional non-monogamy asks us to move into our relationships with compassion, equality, and consent.
If we move into non-monogamy consciously, these alternative relationship styles challenge us to listen to our hearts and our partner(s) when something feels off. They allow us to evolve as needed rather than remaining stuck.
The truth is that there isn't one right way to be in a relationship — but society sure teaches us that there is.
This belief can have a wide range of effects on our lives. It can make us question the value of a relationship if it isn’t following the expected monogamous trajectory towards marriage (even if it’s fulfilling to us.) It can force us to place those closest to us on a value hierarchy scale that privileges romantic relationships over platonic ones. It can even romanticize jealousy and create unhealthy expectations around our partners being responsible for our happiness.
In a time where fear, disconnection, and lack of empathy seem to be the status quo, this workshop is an invitation into a different way of thinking about love and relationships.
It will challenge our beliefs about power, priorities, jealousy and scarcity, and it will offer a framework of faith in abundance that is informed by accountability. We’ll discuss functional ways to communicate, make commitments, and work through the emotions that come along with re-defining the rules of love.
Are you ready?
Come join us at the Armory Club for Conscious Kink, a sensual midweek yoga journey to connect and elevate your play!
Reclaim your right to pleasure in your body and connection in your relationships.
The work of healing from trauma to reclaim our right to pleasure in our bodies and connection in our relationships is complicated, yet profound. Nurturing our ability to engage in a safe and empowering way with dating and sex can be both the agent of change in our healing and a symbol of the healing itself.
So excited to be at Catalyst Con West 2018 to help folks develop a nose for shame free porn consumption and dialogue about desire!
The smorgasbord of internet erotica may leave us intrigued and ready for action, but have you ever wondered what keeps your porn consumption a private party for one?
When examining our identities, interests, and arousal, exploration is often halted by shame and stigma. In this workshop we’ll work to defeat these internal monsters. We’ll move from the repression of silence towards a more liberated and fulfilling format of self-exploration, communication, and interactions.
Hi All! Subbing for the incomparable Sue Sellers this Sunday! Come hang! We'll try to rock out as hard as Sue does!
Even the most sex positive individuals and providers may find themselves shy when it comes to personal browser histories. However, the adult industry flourishes with an abundance of diverse consumers and reasons for consumption.
Is it possible that breaking the silence around the consumption of commodified sexuality can decrease the shame we have around our own bodies and identities?
So excited to get to join the folks at the Woodhull Sexual Summit with a more social justice oriented format of our Clearing the Cache talk!
This will be a heated hatha flow class appropriate for the active yogi looking to lean into the energy of the summer season!

There is a lot of work done around the problematic nature of pornography: how it represents our sexuality, what the acceptable amount (if any) it’s okay to consume, and the politics of the industry itself. Even the most sex positive of individuals, couples, and providers may find themselves a bit shy when it comes to our own personal browser histories. Still, the numbers remain the same. The industry continues to boom. There is a lot of porn being watched and not always by the demographic you might think. So why is there so much shame around it? If we’re all doing it, why can’t we talk about it? Is it possible that breaking the silence around the consumption of commodified sexuality might also shed some light on our most private pieces of identities and relationships?
Start the discussion around destigmatizing and demystifying our culture’s consumption of pornography.
Create a basis for the consideration that there are ways the consumption of pornography may have value and empowerment properties for the individual and the relationship.
Give some recommendations on how to open up communication about what we are drawn to, why, and how it can increase intimacy and self-awareness.
So excited to be heading back to ATX for the Contemporary Relationships Conference! I'll be teaming up with Kristel Penn of TAIF (Trans Adult Industry Foundation) and Grooby to talk about shame and porn consumption in relationships.
Lindsay Lege, co-conspirator of Poly 101... Or 2... Or 3... will also be there doing a sneak preview of what we have in store in our online training! Hope you can make it!
A Level 1-2 class designed to get you moving mindfully through your day! Traci will be leading this class through April at Deep Dog Yoga!
Hi there! I'll be pinch hitting for Amee this Tuesday bright and early! Come play!
I'm very excited to be presenting on the "Coming Out" process at this year's Trans* Conference at UC Riverside!
"The Talk"
The "Coming Out" process has been picked up by media, television, and social justice campaigns. Documentaries and tell-all stories boasting the courageous nature of flying out of the closet are at our fingertips (and computer screens). While reflections of our stories are helpful, it can sometimes distract from the fact that the "Coming Out" process is a highly intimate, vulnerable, and functional process of how we take care of ourselves and build our support networks. This workshop will help participants clarify their needs/wants in coming out to different folks in their lives around gender identity and how to clearly articulate the pieces of their identity they are ready to disclose.
Please note: This is a closed space for people who are Trans, Non-Binary, or Gender-Questioning.
