Go inside the world of a sexuality doula
Portland-based sexuality doula Ev'Yan Whitney has spent over eight years dedicating herself to advocating for womxn and femmes seeking freedom from shame and fear in order to achieve sexual liberation. With programs that focus primarily on holistic care, Whitney has become a trailblazer for a growing community looking to develop a better relationship with their sexuality in a way that allows them to feel safe and heard.
"I was dealing with a lot of shame and disconnection within my sex life to the extent that I was barely having sex at all—and the response I got on Apricot Tea from that essay was huge," says Whitney."The thing that I realized very, very rapidly is that those things—the sex toys, the lubes—are just Band-Aids, especially if your sexual blockages are coming from disconnection from body. Maybe because that's coming from trauma or disconnection from your pleasure.
Whitney notes that, particularly with her queer and non-white clients, her work is more layered because they have almost always dealt with oppression for their identity.
