I’m a pleasure coach and Bodysex Facilitator. I work with women and people with vulvas.

I’m a writer, yoga and dance teacher, line dancer, partner dancer, choreographer, performer, herbalist, and kitchen witch. I love to cook and garden, and I love being a human.

I’m also an animist shamanic practitioner. Animism is the belief that all things, animate and inanimate have a spirit. This is a place to act from that does not put humans on top of the rest of the manifest world but next to.

I’ve had many lives wrapped up in this life, which you can read about in my blog.

I’m a former foster parent and I used to own a yoga studio with my now ex-wife/current friend.

The names my mom picked out for me are Emily and Lincoln, which is why you’ll see my various blog posts under those names. I’ve gone by Emily and Lincoln and I like both, but now I go by Forest. I use they/them/theirs pronouns.

What inspires me about Bodysex is that it gives us the opportunity to heal and embody our power with love, pleasure, and groundedness. The Bodysex rituals are simple and accessible.

My vision is that those of us with vulvas educate ourselves and each other, grounded in what’s true not just about our reproductive anatomy, but our pleasure anatomy.

It’s through my shamanic and animist work, it’s become clear to me that leaving our vulvas and sexuality out of the picture of our healing and self care isn’t balanced; it’s actually harmful. I’m still not quite sure how my Bodysex work and shamanic work will intertwine yet but I look forward to discovering this.

My goal with my own Bodysex practice, both as a student we well as a facilitator is to be one of the many people restoring balance and true power through our connection with our bodies, our orgasms, and our planet.
