Violence to the land is violence to our bodies.

I became a sexuality educator out of necessity because I rarely saw myself reflected in the spaces where sexuality was being taught. The frameworks I encountered were colonial, compliance based, and disconnected from spirit. As a queer, detribalized Indigenous Chicana, I longed for conversations that honored culture, community, and healing. That longing became my path toward liberation.

My supervision and teaching are guided by the energies of the Nahui Ollin: reflection (Tezcatlipoca), learning (Quetzalcoatl), will and action (Huitzilopochtli), and transformation (Xipe Totec). Supervision becomes ceremony, a cyclical process where we set intentions, name challenges, and co-create structures that balance professional rigor with creativity, care, and emergence.

I work with sexuality educators, facilitators, and healers who are reclaiming ancestral knowledge and unlearning assimilation. My spaces center the global majority such as Chicana/x/o, Mexicana/o, Afro Latinx, Indigenous, and mixed heritage educators who understand that our work begins in relationship and returns to community.

As an AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator, Organizational Provider (Type I), and Supervisor in Training, I have guided hundreds of educators through certification, course design, and supervision as a path toward liberation. I served as Co-Chair of the AASECT Institute with Dr. Zelaika Hepworth Clarke from 2019 through 2022, where we created programming such as Unsettling Genders and Radical Erotic Liberation Through Relationality. I have facilitated more than twenty Sexual Attitude Reassessments (SARs) and developed courses including Land and Bodies, La Lengua de las Diosas, Sacred Sexuality, and Decolonial Professional Development for Sexuality Professionals.

A core belief that shapes my teaching is that violence to the land is violence to our bodies. My doctoral work, Re-Animating Chingonisma: Creating Indigenous Elsewheres Through Liberatory Praxis, reclaims the body as a site of ceremony and memory, asking how knowledge can restore rather than extract. Through The Elsewheres, I offer supervision and continuing education that bridge AASECT standards with Indigenous pedagogies, creating spaces where educators remember themselves as whole and where teaching becomes a living practice of liberation.
