Caffyn says, "My Intimacy Educator Training program works well for lots of different people. Here’s some examples:

Many of my students are health care practitioners – psychotherapists, massage therapists, counsellors, yoga teachers, psychedelic guides – who know there's something missing from their training. Prohibitions on the erotic inhibit access to the core of people’s woundedness, and the wellspring of their wonderfulness. Professional codes of ethics unethically prohibit touch, even in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence that touch deprivation is literally lethal. Prohibitions on touch and eroticism set up a sexy forbidden zone that lures vast numbers of helping professionals into boundary transgressions that do egregious harm. The Intimacy Educator training helps helping professionals to understand, and ethically navigate, touch, eroticism, and intimacy – so they can make their work more effective, loving and joyful.

This online version of my Intimacy Educator Training is accessible to people with no particular ambition to be Intimacy Educators. The program is a resource for anyone who wants to address sexual trauma and/or neglect, and invite more loving touch into their lives.

I first developed this training as a professional development program for fellow sex workers, who reached out to me for a place to learn how we could amplify the healing, joyful aspects of our work, while better managing the challenges. It’s a program designed to help make sex work even better.

I feel good about the way the Intimacy Educator Program is organized, so each person who comes can adapt it to their particular longings, while I support them in their own unique version of learning."
