About Me
B (She/They)
I’m B, also known as Professor Playtime. I work with LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous folks, & our allies.
My peer support, workshops, and community spaces aim to further decolonization efforts by being trauma-informed, and rooted in consent, equity, and integrity. I don’t believe in fixing people -I believe in creating spaces where people remember who they are.
My work is informed by my personal experiences with international solidarity, allieship, trauma, alternative lifestyles, and ADHD. I’ve studied psychology, somatics, shadow work, community organizing, and nervous system healing - I bring all of this into the spaces I hold.
This isn’t just about personal growth -it’s culture-shifting. Together, we’re dismantling the systems that disconnect us, and rebuilding from a place of awareness, reverence, and liberation.
More about me…
Ok, the ‘blurb’ above give you a tiny insight into who I am and what I do, but it in no way encompasses the full story.
I know in my core, that I was born to seek out truths, and to challenge injustice with the privileges I’ve been given.
Early on in my life I struggled greatly with a gift for seeing and feeling thing’s that others could (or would) not. But I was surrounded by people who could not help me make sense of my world. This coupled with overwhelming, all consuming, empathy and the struggles of ADHD, created a recipe for a lot of trauma and mental health issues.
I say all of this with the deep awareness that being born into a middle class family as a straight presenting, cis presenting, white, woman, I have had many advantages others have not.
I have made such incredible mistakes, caused harm to others and myself, all in the process of unlearning.
So why do I tell this here in my “about me” page? Because I think it’s important to understand the human behind any Coach, Therapist, Educator etc. To challenge anyone you’re allowing to influence you. To hold them accountable to who they say they are.
What I didn’t realize when I started out on this journey, was that through alchemizing my own experiences I would become a better advocate for social change, a more involved ally, and an active participant in making the world a better place for people in the ways I know how. This work often starts out personal, but it can’t end there. We have to use that sense of self and safety, to create that experience for others.
Collectively I have spent over a 15 years learning, healing and reintegrating in both western sciences and eastern/indigenous practices. I’ve spend 5 years coaching, building conscious communities, and facilitating peer support spaces around the world. I bring this all up here, because I think it’s far more effective then simply listing my degrees and certifications. I don’t try to sell myself as a “healed” person, instead I want you to know where I have been with the hopes it gives you permission to show up as your “less than perfect self” with me. It’s not enough for me to tell you I offer decolonized peer support, I want to show you.
I’ve lived through tough experiences, and have been versions of myself that many try and hide away. My work is about bringing those parts to the surface so it can be understood, transmuted, and integrated. What I can offer is a safer space, my years of experience, and the empowerment to accept your shadow.
I’m here to tell you the parts that you’ve been taught to hate about yourself, are where your true power lives.
