Experience

Lauren Brim, Ph.D is a doctor of human sexuality who is changing the conversation we have about sex. She's the author of five books, including “The New Rules of Sex” and she is founder and creator of the Adult Play Mat and the make up and apparel brand, Turned On.

Lauren has worked in the healing arts for over a decade and began to specialize in women's sexual health after training to be a midwife and witnessing that health care providers weren't speaking with women about sex. Her work focuses on breaking down barriers to health, relationships and pleasure by expanding our individual and cultural paradigm of sexuality.

Education

Lauren earned her Doctorate in Human Sexuality at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. She did her undergraduate at UCLA, and studied midwifery for one year through the National College of Midwifery.

 

She is certified as an Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner and Instructor of the BodyTalk System, and she has trained in various hands-on manual therapies, creating her own course last year titled "Bodywork for Babies," which she is now teaching around North America.
