Hey! I’m Valentine (she/they), I'm a somatic sexologist, intimacy coordinator, pleasure workshop facilitator, feminist activist, performer and artist. Through my work, I invite people to question and transcend the concepts of hetero-mono-normativity in intimacy, relationships, and sexuality.

I've created Collective of Pleasure (C.O.P.) out of my own realisation of the lack of spaces and resources to talk about sexuality for marginalised groups and the many stigmas that still surround it. C.O.P. is a creative and activist collective that encourages individuals to authentically explore their personal pleasure while collectively shaping a blueprint for diverse expressions of pleasure.

Pleasure and sex have always been fascinating to me —why we have it, how we have it, why is it shrouded in taboo and what we can do to have more of it. I fully believe that amazing, fulfilling sex—whether with yourself or others—can be life-changing because our erotic energy is intrinsically tied to our life force. I am deeply committed to providing healthy education and representation of pleasure and sexuality, challenging outdated and harmful ideologies that have shamed and disempowered people for far too long. Pleasure is not a luxury, nor a reward; it is our birthright. It is our right to feel free, joyful, connected, and fully alive.
