Heather Shannon curated a fantastic workshop where attendees were able to talk openly about sex and sexual exploration. Heather creates an environment of non-judgement and truly has resources for everything! We were so thrilled to work with Heather, and I am so grateful to have someone doing the work she is doing in our community!

Kelsey Jagneaux, Events Coordinator at Tombolo Books

Event speakers can be hit or miss, but Heather definitely hits a home run when she speaks. She’s an expert in her field, and communicates the difficult and often awkward topics of sex & intimacy in a way that is effective, fun, and puts everyone at ease. I have enjoyed both events that I’ve attended where she spoke.

Marcus McGehee, Entrepreneur Social Club

Heather led a mindfulness workshop for our corporate wellness program and did not disappoint. She explained different mindfulness concepts, meditation techniques, and emphasized ways to implement these tools in our daily lives.
