Hi, I'm Jamie O’Leary (she/her),
and I'm a sexuality educator.
My mission is to guide youth and adults as they explore consent, relationships, media literacy, identity, and much more in justice-centered, joyful ways.
let’s work together!
My Work
I started my career in relationship abuse prevention, so I come to sexuality education with a focus on trauma-informed pedagogy. Bodily autonomy, choice, and consent are centered in my teaching - and so are play and creativity!
I see sex education as a space for youth and adults to explore social justice, imagine and enact a better world, and cultivate social-emotional skills like self-advocacy, healthy conflict, and communication.
I specialize in working with queer and trans youth, building inclusive curricula, and training educators to cultivate LGBTQ+-inclusive classrooms. I’m based in Philadelphia, PA!

Testimonials
“Jamie came to speak with my 9th and 10th graders three times to cover reproductive health, consent and relationships. The students found her classes very honest, informative and fun. Jamie's attitude and demeanor puts teens at ease and creates a safe space to talk about difficult subjects. Her work on safe sex and STIs, in particular, was so hands-on and entertaining that I feel it should be part of every high school curriculum!”
