Solidarity
5% of incoming fees is spent on various grassroots projects and social movements. Predominantly to initiatives that have something to do with intimacy, gender and sexuality. I also support organisations and movements that work on climate change, human rights, anti-racism, peace and sustainable agriculture. Below is an overview of the organisations and movements that will benefit from your contribution.
Accessibility
I offer a social fee for those who can’t afford my regular fees. A healthy and sustainable experience of intimacy is a human right. In the future I want to lower my social rate so that I can reach even more people. You are free to support me with a donation that I can then use to reach a more diverse group of people.

Intersectionality
I see it as my duty as a citizen of the world to be critical and aware of my privileges as a white highly educated person passing as male in a rich country. That constant critical reflection on myself and on everything that goes on in society is therefore always present in my work. With this I want to work intersectionally and offer my intimacy work as inclusive as possible. I also remain aware of possible blind spots and am always open to your feedback.
Sustainability
I choose sustainability as much as possible. I purchase sustainable products that preferably last a long time and are ecologically responsible. I choose organic, seasonal and local products for myself but also as catering for my workshops. In my daily life and work I use the 'slow' principle. I eat 'slow' food, I travel 'slow' and avoid plane travel, I like to live and work 'slow' with enough space for free time. I bank 'slow', opting for a local and sustainable bank.
