Caitlyn Caruso

I am a Nevada-based educator, advocate, and speaker dedicated to replacing sexual shame with radical healing, bodily autonomy, and intersectional wellness. My work bridges the gap between policy, clinical wellness, and modern media. My professional path evolved from serving as a campus peer sexual health educator and structural sexuality policy advocate to my current work as a professional adult media creator and entertainer. This unique blend of experience allows me to approach conversations around intimacy, trauma, and identity from a deeply authentic, shame-free "Pleasure Professional" perspective. I work closely with universities, student affairs departments, and campus organizations to deliver high-impact, survival-centric programming. Moving past sterile academic lectures, I focus on real-world tools that resonate with today's students—particularly those navigating life at the crossroads of multiracial identity, trauma recovery, and the LGBTQ+ experience. 🎙️ Keynote & Workshop Specializations: • The Pleasure Professional: Revolutionizing sex education, dismantling sexual shame, and building media literacy around modern intimacy. • Pleasure-Centered Harm Reduction: Implementing trauma-informed communication, real-world boundaries, and radical consent frameworks. • Navigating Ambiguity: Strategies for student survival, community building, and self-advocacy within the multiracial and queer student experience. • Trauma as a Teacher, Not a Sentence: Somatic and psychological coping mechanisms for students, activists, and leaders navigating systemic or personal grief.

I have developed curriculum for non profits to train their volunteers in sexual health fields of expertise and facilitated said curriculum to over 2000 virtual attendees over the course of 4 months. I have presented workshops at local and national conferences on a range of topics. I facilitated weekly affinity spaces for 4+ years consecutively.
