I understand that safety is of the utmost importance to you. There are unscrupulous practitioners out there who pass themselves off as experts. To help alleviate your concerns and create the highest level of safety I can, I have posted my privacy statement and the Code of Ethics that I adhere to below. As a member of Association of Certified Sexological Bodyworkers (ACSB) I comply with the professional ethics code as stipulated by ACSB.

Preamble
Erotic Blueprint Coaching is wholly owned by Jaiya, Inc. and is comprised of a unique set of copyrighted and trademarked Proprietary Materials and intended to be used as a guide for assisting people to create a healthier, more satisfying and integrated relationship to their own sexuality, whether single or in partnership. Erotic Blueprint work provides a language for communicating about sex, sexual desire, intimacy, connection and sexual wellness.

This code is intended to provide both the general principles and the rules covering most situations encountered by BCs. It has as its primary goal the welfare and protection of the individuals and groups with whom BCs work. It is the individual responsibility of each BC to aspire to the highest possible standards of conduct. BCs shall respect and protect human, civil and sexual rights, and shall not knowingly participate in or condone harassment, unwanted sexual contact or advances, and/or unfair discriminatory practices.
The development of a dynamic set of ethical standards for BCs work-related conduct requires a personal commitment to a lifelong effort to act ethically; to encourage ethical behavior by students, supervisees, employees, and colleagues, as appropriate; and to consult with others as needed concerning ethical problems. Each BC supplements, but does not violate, the Ethics Code’s values and rules on the basis of guidance drawn from personal values, culture, context, and experience.
Code of Professional Conduct for Certified Sexological Bodyworkers
Introduction
These Codes of Ethics and of Conduct (“Code”) set forth ethical standards and rules of conduct for Certified Sexological Bodyworkers (“CSB”) engaged in the profession of Sexological Bodywork® and Somatic Sex Education.
The Code is not exhaustive. The fact that a given conduct is not specifically addressed by the Code does not mean that it is necessarily either ethical or unethical. In the process of making decisions regarding their professional behavior, CSBs must consider the Code in addition to their own personal ethical standards.
Working in an official capacity as a CSB practitioner, trainer, teacher, assistant, or organizer commits individuals to adhere to the Code and the rules and procedures used to implement it. The Code applies to CSB work-related professional activities including somatic sex education, individual or group work, teaching, training, assisting, supervision, consulting, and organizing. These work-related activities can be distinguished from the CSB’s private conduct and non-CSB related work, which is not within the scope of the Code.
In the process of making decisions regarding their professional behavior, CSBs must consider the Code, in addition to laws and licensing boards’ regulations. When the Code establishes a higher standard than codes of law, CSBs must meet the higher ethical standard. If the Code’s standards appear to conflict with requirements of law, CSBs are to uphold the applicable laws.
The actions the ACSB may take for violation of the Code include reprimand, censure, and termination of membership in the ACSB. More detailed definitions of these actions and contexts within which they are warranted can be found in the ACSB Grievance, Learning, Repair & Accountability Process.
Preamble
The work we do as Sexological Bodyworkers/Somatic Sex Educators takes various forms that may include but are not limited to: bodyworker, practitioner, teacher, trainer, coach, assistant, organizer, consultant, and supervisor. They work with a common goal of providing education and improving the quality of life for an individual and the world. The Code of Professional Conduct for Certified Sexological Bodyworkers provides a common set of values upon which CSBs continually build their professional work.
The Code is intended to provide both the general principles and the rules covering most situations encountered by CSBs. It has as its primary goal the welfare and respect of the individuals and groups with whom CSBs work. It is the individual responsibility of each Sexological Bodyworker to aspire to the highest possible standards of conduct. CSBs respect and value human, civil and sexual rights, and do not knowingly participate in or condone unfair discriminatory practices.
The development of a dynamic set of ethical standards for CSB’s work-related conduct requires a personal commitment to a lifelong effort to act ethically; to encourage ethical behavior by students, supervisors, supervisees, employees, and colleagues, as appropriate; and to consult with others as needed concerning ethical problems. Each Sexological Bodyworker supplements, but does not violate, the Code’s values and rules on the basis of guidance drawn from personal values, culture, context, and experience.
