​About Cheylsea Federle

​Cheylsea Federle’s (she/her) personal and professional pedagogy is ‘helping others to help themselves’ which is to say that she hopes to provide education and resources to allow people to make educated, personal choices about their health and sexuality!

​About Mia Matias

​Mia Matias’ (she/her) is an active doula, trained through Carriage House Birth, a mother of two and an aspiring sex educator. Her enthusiasm for sex education stems from her professional experience working with birthing and postpartum parents, and her personal journey as a mother. Where Mia is most passionate, is in teaching parents how to take a sex positive, and inclusive approach when discussing sexuality, bodies, and relationships with their children. She believes there is a real need for parents to have outlets to access further information and tools to have these important conversations with their children. Mia’s experience as a birth doula has also uncovered a sense of care and admiration for birthing and postpartum bodies and she is zealous about inclusivity in birth, reproductive justice, and education about sex and pleasure postpartum.
