Sexuality Educator Supervision
Dra. Serina Payan Hazelwood offers relational, decolonial, and anticolonial supervision for sexuality educators seeking AASECT certification or deeper accountability in their practice. Supervision with Doctora is a co-created process grounded in reciprocity, responsibility, and cultural integrity. While we attend carefully to AASECT requirements, documentation, and ethical standards, our work goes beyond compliance. Together, we examine how your curriculum moves in the world, how it resists extraction, and how it honors Indigenous, Black, queer, and global majority knowledges. This is supervision for educators committed to clarity, embodiment, and culturally responsible practice.
Request a MeetingExploring Sexuality Beyond Colonial Narratives
Sexuality Education at The Elsewheres is a space to reclaim and reimagine our relationships with our bodies, pleasure, and each other—free from the constraints of colonial, capitalist, and supremacist systems. Grounded in Indigenous Knowledge systems, decolonial, and anti-colonial practices, this space invites you to explore sexuality through a lens that honors cultural integrity, self-determination, and collective liberation.
Under the AASECT Organizational I umbrella, we offer a diverse range of educators who bring their own culturally rooted ways of knowing. Together, we create learning environments that are not only inclusive but also transformative—centering the voices and experiences of Black, Indigenous, and historically resilient communities who have been marginalized.Â
Who is Sexuality Education for?
Sexuality Education is for anyone committed to exploring sexuality as a pathway to healing, self-determination, and liberation:

- Aspiring Sexuality Professionals pursuing AASECT certification or mentorship with a focus on justice-centered practices.
Community Leaders looking to integrate decolonial sexuality education into their work. - Allies committed to dismantling colonial narratives around bodies, pleasure, and consent.
You do not need to aspire to be a sexuality professional to find value here. Whether you want to reclaim your relationship with your body, learn about consent and pleasure, or deepen your understanding of sexuality as a site of resistance, you are welcome.

Indigenous Knowledge Systems
