I so enjoyed being in the panel too! Yay team!

It was so wonderful to be on a panel with Le Shaw Institute on mental wellness and s*x work hosted by Delphine DiTecco.

I had the pleasure to speak on the panel with Jessica Stoya, Finny Fox,
Leya Tanit and Dr. Markie Twist. Such a great team to discuss the mental health needs of s*x workers, the barriers in health care, and how we can improve wellbeing.

We need more and more conversations on this topic! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Join us at the NACS [Nordic Association for Clinical S*xology] Annual Conference! We will be talking *xuality! Registration is in the comments!

Day two of NACS 2025 will have the underlying theme ”S*xology and the future” and it is with great joy we can reveal that one of our keynotes for that day will be Dr Markie Twist (she/they)!

Markie is a researcher as well as a s*xologist and couples therapist working in Ontario, Canada. Markie is one of the researchers who’ve coined the term ”digis*xuality”, which encompasses s*xual experiences involving human/technological relationships.

The lecture is focused on digis*xuality and as attendees, we are promised that we will learn how to define and describe digis*xuality and digis*xual identity as well as apply a digi-affirming lens to clinical practice.

We hope that you all will join us in what will be an intriguing conference! Register at:
