Is this class for you?

There’s more to consent than ‘no means no’ and ‘anything other than enthusiasm is a no.’ Consent is so much more than permission, so much more than yes and no. If you want to go beyond your remedial, mandatory, anti-sexual harassment consent education to find a deeper relationship with yourself, more authenticity, self-expression, more easeful and aligned relationships in work, play, and romance, this course will give you practice tools to access your confidence, ask for what you want, say no, take rejection with gratitude, advocate for yourself, harness stress so you can propel yourself to act, and apply these skills outward so you can access your creativity, avoid burnout, and find your voice.

Are you running into the same recurring kinds of conflict? Are you struggling to start stuff that you're pretty sure you actually want to do? Are you feeling burnt out by the constant need to create, advocate for yourself and your friends, and communicate and hold your boundaries? Are you looking for a community of people who also want to work on these things? Come build a consent practice with me so you can move through the world with a strong internal sense of safety that allows you to explore.

This course is for anyone who struggles to speak up for themselves, access their ‘no,’ find and communicate boundaries, feels pushed, bullied, burn out, or taken advantage of. This course is also for anyone who finds themselves not being fully transparent for fear of rejection, anyone who’s been told they are difficult to say ‘no’ to, or feels they’re not in touch with their desires and needs.

This is a trauma-informed, neuro-diversity-aware approach to consent that takes the gut-brain axis into account. Consent is more than “no means no” or getting permission. Consent is a language and an embodied practice.

This is an all-levels course, so whether you’ve taken a class before or this is your first toe-dipping into this kind of content, this class will be a good fit.

What will we be doing?

• Class 1: What is Consent + the Consent Iceberg

• Class 2: The Yes to No Spectrum + Power Dynamics

• Class 3: Nonverbals + 6 Patterns in Early Consent Learning

• Class 4: Practice Exercises - Bringing it into the body

• Class 5: Self-Consent and Caring for Yourself

You’ll take away a deep and intuitive understanding of power dynamics. You’ll begin to access the embodied sense of your boundaries. Consent and boundary knowledge can help you find evermore nuance and subtlety in your communication. It gives more options, expands structure, and can even open up space for creativity.

This is a skill-building and embodiment practice course.

• You'll learn vocab that will help you express yourself more clearly.

• You'll learn to feel your boundaries and communicate them.

• You'll practice saying 'no.'

• You'll get more in touch with your needs and desires.

• You'll learn to feel your capacity and not go beyond it.

• You'll learn breathing techniques and practice exercises that you can share with others.

What people are saying…

I have been in therapy for ten years and Codependents Anonymous for one year. Both of these things gave me the conceptual framework to understand why my life was continuously dysfunctional, but I still found myself in a dysfunctional space. I felt that I didn’t deserve to be close to others when I couldn’t get a grasp on my own dysfunction. When I started working with Mia, that is when my life changed significantly for the better because they offered the actual tools and skills I needed to understand my own needs, meet them for myself, and interact with others in a healthy way through consent and boundary setting. I find myself practicing these tools and skills every day, in all facets of my life and feel a stability that is more secure than I’ve ever felt in my adult life because I’m able to set boundaries. I finally feel that I am deserving of giving and receiving love because of this stability and framework to care for myself and others. I would recommend these courses to everyone!
