Hi, I’m Forest
I’m a teacher of many things, a pleasure anatomy educator and sex coach, a lifelong student of movement and embodied practices including many kinds of freeform and structured dance, as well as yoga and Pilates. I’m working towards my Bodysex coaching certification.

What is Bodysex?
Bodysex® is a practice designed by Betty Dodson PhD that supports women and AFABs (assigned female at birth folks) to connect to their bodies and orgasm to heal shame, enhance pleasure, and encourage self love. Once we understand basic sexual anatomy, find the parts that bring us to orgasm, and claim our bodies for our own pleasure, we know our true sexual selves. Vulvas are the most sophisticated sex organ on the planet, capable of endless pleasure. There is no failure. The clitoris is evergreen – it never ages – we can have orgasms until the end of life. And it’s never too late to begin or learn something new.
Why Bodysex?
Because we live in a repressed culture and we’re taught shame, denial, blame, and frankly just incorrect information about our bodies. The Bodysex rituals are a way for us to work with what’s so and obtain the education about our pleasure anatomy, to begin making those physical and neural connections in order to increase our physical pleasure. Because these miseducations and, for lack of a better word, wounds, happened in community, they are best worked with in community to shift and heal them. It doesn’t have to be my retreat or even Bodysex but this is a great place to start because of its foundational nature. It’s also comprised of very simple practices that are approachable for beginners and expansive enough for more advanced folks.
