Sex Ed That Helps Us Come Home
To Ourselves, Each Other, And The Living Earth.

Have you noticed?

Kids are frustrated and overwhelmed.

My students tell me that the adults in their lives stay silent about sex and yet they can’t escape the constant flood of messages about it online.

They ask me how to build stronger friendships, navigate online toxicity, and manage the emotional toll of being told over and over again that their future is bleak.

What we can give kids:

Hope. We can do hard things; we are resilient.

Help. We are here right beside them as they feel, process, make mistakes, and grow.

Home. Our journey home is long. It will take generations for us to come home to ourselves, each other, and the living Earth.

Heart. Love is our guide. We make the journey home with love at the center.

Hello,

My name is Claire and I empower communities in the Pacific Northwest to enhance the health and wellbeing of children.

I have created spaces where over 1000 adults and kids have learned how to communicate about bodies, boundaries, and sexuality.

I invite you to join other parents, schools, clinics, churches, and family serving organizations that have worked with me to protect, affirm and equip kids with the tools they need to safeguard their health and wellbeing.

Claire Appelmans, she/hers

Your Kids Are Ready To Talk, Are You?

What Parents are Saying

  • “I liked the drawing, the video, the Q&A and Claire honest and open communication. My kid who accompanied me in the class was also impressed about Claire's openness.”

  • What was your favorite part of this class?

    Claire's openness and encouragement! She also sets a clear trajectory for the class and presents concrete action items for parents and caregivers.

  • “These workshops offer tremendous value, after one hour I was able to engage thoughtfully with my kids about porn. Wow! I left class with two scripts, one for my 10yo and one for my 14yo. Both worked super well. Thank you Claire!”

  • What was your favorite part of this class?

    Having resources, hearing experiences/concerns of other parents, and the forthrightness of the langugage (no beating around the bush, which made me more comfortable to discuss anything).

  • I felt more informed that led to ease with having conversations with my child. Also, resources shared guided me how to navigate those conversations instead of avoiding them.
