WORKSHOP CO-FACILITAITON
“I work with Laura on a sexuality education curriculum for children and also on menstrual education for menstruators in Honduras. We make a great team because Laura shares her knowledge with us, her collaborators, and creates spaces where we can express ourselves and share the context and culture of the place where we host the workshops, ensuring that the work is beneficial for all participants. We also make it fun and allow participants a safe space to share their opinions and ask questions.”

TRAINING FACILITATION
“Laura's facilitation skills are truly exceptional, whether she's guiding Pleasure Fellows or delivering engaging presentations to diverse organizations and groups in different settings and languages. It's been a joy for The Pleasure Project to witness Laura's growth from a Pleasure Fellow to a Pleasure Expert, demonstrating her commitment and expertise in advancing pleasure-positive approaches with a wide range of global organisations in our community of pleasure practice. ”
