Counselor, Consultant, Facilitator

“This project has grown from my heart & community support since its inception while sitting on a couch with friends in Otago in 2019. Conversation sparked around our individual relationships & experiences with S3Xual exploration, and I found myself surrounded by a plethora of experiences and preferences. This ignited my curiosity to co-create more safe spaces for myself and my peers to talk openly about our most intimate thoughts & vulnerabilities, and I have been striving to facilitate these conversations ever since. 

My background training in trauma informed massage therapy, breathwork facilitation & language re-patterning techniques combine to create a unique & intentional facilitation skillset that is my deep joy to share with the world. I thrive on your feedback & reflections to continue learning how to build safety for vulnerable expressions of emotions, nervous system regulation & the deepening discovery of our relationships with S3Xual exploration.”

Based in Ōtautahi, Traeh has a passion for Mexican food, cockatoo husbandry & community connection.
