About me

Sarah Goodrich, a white woman, wearing brown sunglasses, circular copper earrings, and a leather jacket, standing on a beach with wind-blown hair and a partly cloudy sky.

I believe that pleasure holds enormous transformational power, both for individuals and also for our culture collectively. Shedding shame and fully enjoying sexual pleasure are revolutionary acts because pleasure is shamed and manipulated by capitalism, white supremacy, and the patriarchy. For a deeper dive into this philosophy, please check out my first blog post (January 2025).

I’m a cis-gendered, mostly heterosexual, generally able-bodied, white woman who’s married to a man—and I celebrate that humanity is colorful and queer! I’m an enthusiastic ally to gender- and sexuality-expansive folks, and I support a broad spectrum of relationship styles. I strive to make my education as inclusive and accessible as possible.

I’m also a mother, and I love spreading the courageous art of sex-positive parenting. This is crucial cycle-breaking work, especially for parents who grew up with a lot of repression, and the impact on your kids’ lives (and yours!) can be dramatic.

I have a particular interest in supporting people to enjoy rich and fulfilling sex lives as they age. I hope to inspire and empower folks older than I am to continue their sexual journeys and to learn from one another about new pathways to pleasure as bodies and life circumstances change.

I’m a certified holistic sexuality educator. I completed my certification with the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment (ISEE) in 2024. I also hold two master’s degrees, both earned at the University of Vermont (UVM):

  • M.S. in Natural Resources (Environmental Thought & Culture concentration), where my focus of study was the human-nature relationship (2015)

  • M.Ed. in Interdisciplinary Studies with a self-designed concentration in sexuality (2024)

These credentials are the fruit of a long exploration into the human-nature relationship and human sexuality. I have cultivated a rich connection with the natural world beyond myself, and I have a felt sense that I am nature too—an animal who interacts with countless other organisms on this miraculous planet. Reveling in sexual pleasure brings this human-nature relationship home, into my own animal body.

I provide pleasure-centered and trauma-aware sexuality education to groups of people in virtual and real-world spaces. I also offer 1-on-1 educational consultations that are tailored to what you are looking to learn (and unlearn) on your particular sexual journey. I look forward to meeting you!
