WHO ARE THESE PRESENTATIONS FOR?My talks are appropriate for individuals, zoom groups, conferences, colleges, high schools, corporations events and anybody that will benefit from learning life skills that can show you how to turn challenges into accomplishment, how choices, not circumstances, determine achievement and how to appreciate our differences instead of judging them.
SEXUAL ASSUALTIn this program I bring my story of being a sexual assault survivor and my path to healing. Rape is never easy to talk about and my hope is by letting people understand they are not alone we can create an environment where we can talk about many aspects of sexual assault. I touch on topics such as lowering the risk of sexual assault to dealing with the aftermath of abuse, rape molestation, incest, and sexual harassment. Through the use of texting I have been able to help people feel comfortable enough to participate on this difficult topic. My goal is to help people better deal with sexual assault and how it affects us personally and as a society.

PERSONAL COACHING Working through Zoom and phone sessions I am able to help you with issues related to sexuality, relationships and loneliness. I also specialize in depression, PTSD and lack of direction. In these times we feel isolated and alone. We may struggle and feel the challenges of life keenly. My expertise of 30 years of working with diverse groups has given me a unique insight into how to turn things around, when you need medical intervention or you just need to talk to someone who understands. I can structure a plan of how to move forward in your life and find peace and contentment.
A Positive Life
River Huston was diagnosed HIV positive in her last year of college and less than a year later was diagnosed with a chronic, often fatal bone marrow condition listing her terminally ill for the next 25 years. In a powerful narrative she shares her challenges, experiences and hope. Regardless of the physical and emotional difficulties she faced she was still able to write 5 books, run a marathon, write, produce, direct and act in a one woman show, build a successful lecture career, travel around the world, write a monthly column and live a life that incorporated her values including service, forgiveness and compassion.

SEXEDIn this interactive presentation I use texting as a way to encourage lively discussions on topics such as sexuality, fetishes, sexual orientation, being asexual, not being able to reach orgasm, anal intercourse and every sexual practice the audience comes up with. I let the audience lead with texting and moderate with answers that can bring information and education to the stage. I create a talk show/game show atmosphere and by using this approach I am able to bring the whole audience into the discussion.
