Her practice is always sex-positive, trauma-informed, and grounded in consent and she uses a supportive approach that respects each person’s autonomy, dignity, and self-defined healing.

Kesla also has a special passion for working with post-secondary students who are feeling overwhelmed or in need of support as they move through their studies, during a time where they are also discovering who they are, personally, professionally and sexually.
