Speaker Spotlight: Heather Claus
Hi! I’m Heather. Most people call me Nookie. Why Nookie? Well, short story: back when I was younger, some friends and I looked up naughty words in the Oxford English Dictionary, and we discovered that nookie (or nooky) was Scottish slang from the 1940s for a sexually attractive woman.
They dubbed me “The Nookie,” and “Nookie” stuck, LOL! My pronouns are she/her, and as you might guess, I’ve lived an atypical life. I’ve hitchhiked across the country. I’ve traveled and worked in a carnival for a season. I’ve roamed New York City with street people. I’ve explored (and taught) alternative lifestyles. I’m kinky. I’m nonmonogamous. I’m ADHD. I’ve also left an abusive marriage, healed, and then made the choice to create the love life I wanted.
Now, more than 15 years later, I’m living my passion. I write books like about love, sex, and romance for people of all genders, relationship statuses, orientations and more. I teach workshops. I’m honored to coach amazing people to create lives full of love and connection. I’m a big fan of wonderful people enjoying love, sex, and romance in happy and functional lives (whatever that might look like from human to human), and I’m thrilled to be teaching at Naughty for my first time!
Come check out my workshops! Stepping Out Into Casual Sex New to Swinging? Not sure which flavor of Nonmonogamy is perfect for you?
