About the Author

Euphemia Russell is a Pleasure Educator and founder of I Wish You Knew, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. They’re dedicated to resourcing people with practical pleasure and embodiment tools through coaching, writing, and facilitation. Their approach is based on the fundamental conviction that pleasure is regenerative and essential to health, not just a frivolous indulgence that you supposedly don’t deserve. They gently support others to investigate inherited beliefs and 'deshamifying', self-regulation and embodiment, kinky explorative techniques, pain and trauma, and communication with one’s self and others. With a background in Community Development, they centre inclusivity, representation, and accessibility in their work.
