Meet Alysha
My passion for sexual health education and coaching grew from my own journey. Like many of us, I grew up with little-to-no sex ed, and what I did receive left me with more confusion than clarity. I knew there had to be more. That desire to understand myself and my relationships more deeply is what led me here, and it’s why I love helping others do the same.
What I offer:
Sex Ed and Relationship Workshops for schools and youth organizations
Service Provider Training, for teachers and front line workers
Fun and educational events for adults, like sex ed trivia nights and pleasure-ed parties
Writing, Speaking Engagements and Content Creation, for companies and events that align with me
1:1 and couples sex & intimacy coaching, to help people reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, and each other
I’ve facilitated workshops for elementary and high school students, led staff trainings, and hosted dozens of creative, sex-positive community events. Whether you’re 12 or 72, it’s never too late to learn, grow, and bring more connection into your life.
If you’re looking to book a workshop, attend an event, or dive into coaching — I’d love to connect!
Hi! I’m Alysha Somerton — a Queer Sexual Health Educator and Sexologist in Training based in Vancouver, BC. I’m on a mission to make Sex Ed more accessible, inclusive, and actually enjoyable for everyone.
I teach all things related to sexual health, relationships, and intimacy in a way that is comprehensive, pleasure-based, and free of shame. My workshops are grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect for the diverse ways we experience sexuality and connection throughout our lives.
With a background in youth care work, I’ve spent years supporting queer and trans youth in shelters, schools, and community organizations. I bring this experience, along with a deep commitment to inclusivity, into every workshop and coaching session I lead.
