🍑 ABOUT STELLA TOPAZ 🍑

I am a certified sexological bodyworker, a Wheel of Consent® facilitator, and erotic educator. I’ve been a registered nurse since the 80’s, with 40 years’ experience across the health system, in community-based sexual health, HIV, and LGBTIQA+ health.

I’m a queer, white-bodied older femme, loving on cultures of care, intergenerational queer kinships, and embodied consent practices. Radically clear agreement making is hot – in sex, play, kink and community making, and in everyday relating.

I’m lucky enough to be receiving training and mentorship from Betty Martin creator of the Wheel of Consent®, and am now part of the international training team with the School of Consent.

I live on Dharawal country, on the south coast of NSW.
