Hi there, I’m Jess Halliburton (she/her). With over 8 years of experience educating young people both in classroom and clinical settings, I have seen the undeniable need for comprehensive sex education starting in the home.

Throughout my career I have counseled thousands of patients in community-based health centers and have facilitated countless sex ed workshops for New York City students.

There should always be a place for well-trained sex educators in schools, but it was continuously shocking how often I was the first person to teach my students about their sexual and reproductive bodies; how often I was the first person they felt safe coming to with any and all of their questions.

I am on a mission to help create a world where sex and sexuality are approached from a place of curiosity rather than anxiety; where people have accurate information about their bodies; and where consent and emotional safety are consistently prioritized.
