Description

Bisexuals are the most common identity in the LGBTQIA+ population with 84% of bisexual people in opposite sex partnerships. On top of that, women are more likely to identify as bisexual. So why isn’t there more support and resources for queer women? Especially those in straight relationships? We invite Heather as a guest on this show to discuss major challenges bisexual women face, the stereotypes many are labelled with and even physical and mental health outcomes this invisible majority can encounter. Heather is currently a third-year graduate student in Southern Methodist University’s Counseling Program working toward completion of her Master’s degree. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, she is committed to finding creative ways to serve and support others in the group. You won’t want to miss out on this intimate and candid discussion three bisexual women share about being in straight, long-term partnerships.

Guest Info: Heather is currently a third-year graduate student in Southern Methodist University’s Counseling Program working toward completion of her Master’s degree. She is passionate about sexual and relational counseling and has completed training as a sex and intimacy coach through the Somatica Institute. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, she is committed to finding creative ways to serve and support others in the group. In November 2022, she debuted her work on sexual identity support groups for queer women in heterosexual passing relationships as a poster project at the TCA Conference in Dallas, Texas. Heather hopes to continue her education to earn a doctorate degree and become a counselor educator.

About Sex Ed for the Modern Bed: I started working as a sex educator in 2014 as a non monogamous educator and podcaster with my partner. In April 2021, I decided to expand my knowledge and enrolled in school to become a certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker. I am an advanced student with The Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education and a certified "Like a Pro" graduate with the School of Consent. I am passionate about supporting people to discover their authentic sexual selves, helping folks to embody what consent and boundaries feels like in their bodies, and providing non judgmental sexual education.

About Sex and Sensibility: I have a background in neuroscience /neurobiology & spent the past decade exploring tools and modalities around emotional release and Somatic bodywork. Trained as a relationship/intimacy coach with the Somatica® Institute before embarking on the path of Sexological Bodywork & Somatic Sex Education with the ISSSE where I'm currently completing my training. I hold trainings in performance hypnosis, doula training, lactation education, dominatrix work, business coaching, Hakomi Psycotherapy and psychedelic guidance/integration. I am currently enrolled in Ellen Heed's STREAM training (Scar Tissue Remediation Education and Management) with a focus on holistic pelvic care. The work I do is client-led, in service to stepping more into wholeness, happiness & eroticism. I place high value on my clients exploring the taboo, enjoying the freedom to discover various sensations, find empowerment outside of normative realms & lean in to playing with power dynamics. www.mysexandsensibility.com
