Hi, I’m Lakota!
I brought Bodysex to Michigan because I know what it feels like to be stuck in your head, searching for answers but still feeling disconnected from your body and pleasure. After years of reading books on trauma and sexuality, repeating my stories, and doing my own healing work, I was still longing for something to shift. I drove 11.5 hours by myself for the first time to experience Bodysex alongside other women who were seeking the same connection, and that experience changed my life.
I want women to know there is another way a way to move beyond just understanding yourself and into truly experiencing yourself.
What is Bodysex?
Bodysex® is a practice of rituals developed by Betty Dodson to help women reconnect with their bodies, sexuality, and pleasure in a supportive judgment free container. Through Betty’s named processes of genital show and tell, vulva massage and erotic recess, women learn to heal from shame, connect to their pleasure and create a self love practice. Bodysex® workshops support women in learning about their full sexual anatomy, and learn what works sexually for their body and mind.
There isn’t a single culture in the world that supports the development of female sexuality.
The clitoris is a an organ capable of endless pleasure that never ages.
Women have the same amount of erectile tissue as men.
Why Bodysex?
Both sexual education and pornography fail to teach women about accessing their pleasure. Huge gaps in sexual education information means a large portion of society believes myths about female anatomy and female sexual pleasure. Disconnection from body and pleasure are often the result when we don’t see our experience modeled in real life and media.
Masturbation is the foundation of human sexuality, it’s our first natural sexual activity, they way we discover our sex organ and the pleasurable feelings when we touch them. When a woman sees herself she can understand her sex organ, and when she is educated with facts about her anatomy she develops a larger capacity for pleasure in all areas of herself.
Viewing your vulva is the first step to becoming a fully orgasmic woman.
-Betty Dodson
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be naked?
Yes. Nudity is an intentional and important part of the Bodysex experience. Being witnessed and witnessing other real, diverse bodies helps challenge the shame and unrealistic expectations that many of us have absorbed about our bodies. We rarely see real bodies outside of carefully curated images, and this experience creates space to exist in your body exactly as you are, without comparison or judgment.
Is this a sexual experience with other participants?
No. This is not a sexual experience between participants. Bodysex is a group guided, individual exploration of your own relationship with your body, sexuality, and pleasure. Each person is invited to explore their own body while being held in a supportive container.
What if I feel nervous or uncomfortable?
Many women arrive feeling nervous. You do not need to be confident, experienced, or comfortable with your body to attend.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for adult women and vulva owners who are curious about deepening their relationship with their bodies, sexuality, and pleasure. Whether you’re carrying body shame, feeling disconnected, healing from past experiences, or simply longing to feel more at home in yourself, you are welcome.

Distance
I still struggle with competition and envy between women, but for me it often shows up less as jealousy and more as disconnection. I notice how easily I place other women above me, or feel unsure how I am being seen, and how both create distance from connection. Inside Bodysex, that distance softens in way is don’t fully understand but deeply feel.
Who Mothers Mothers?
The way my whole body softened at the idea was like liquid warmth. “How lucky you are to be such an amazing mom, you already know how to care for yourself, the exact same way you’ve been caring for...
