Heather’s Values

Sex Positivity

Your sexual identity is a natural, wonderful part of who you are. Sex between consenting adults is just fine no matter what activities you choose to do or not do.

Intersectional Feminism

I truly love and appreciate diversity and have great respect for the different paths we have all walked. I also have a growing awareness for how our different identities intersect with each other and am dedicated to continuing to educate myself in this area. I don’t presume to know everything about someone else’s experience and enter each client relationship with a culturally humble attitude.

Human Rights

We are all of equal value as humans, period! I don’t stand for treating other humans as lesser beings for any reason.

Freedom of Expression

I hope for each of my clients to be able to be in the world and express themselves in a way that feels authentic and in alignment for them as an individual.
