Body Acceptance Advocate Elle Chase Returns for EDSE Sex Ed Certification Program

LOS ANGELES — Educational organization Everyone Deserves Sex Ed (EDSE) has tapped body positive influencer and certified sex educator Elle Chase, ACS, to train attendees of EDSE’s upcoming 25-hour sex educator certification program, scheduled November 9-10 and 16-17 in Los Angeles.

Chase will facilitate discussion of body image, fat sex, and body acceptance to help budding educators have confident and informed conversations with their clients.

Known as the founder of the award-winning Tumblr site LadyCheeky.com and the sex positions book “Curvy Girl Sex,” Chase specializes in having conversations about the intersection of sexual expression, identity and body image. A graduate of the San Francisco Sex Information (SFSI) sex educator training program, Chase will give EDSE attendees perspective on how to make educational spaces more inclusive and body-positive.

“I love empowering people with accurate and unbiased information about stigmatized topics like these, and this is an incredible opportunity to bring these kinds of conversations into an educational space,” Chase said. “I have known and worked with Anne since 2014 and it is a pleasure to be a part of her EDSE certification program for a second time. As a proponent of body acceptance and candid conversations about fat sex, I look forward to helping EDSE attendees learn and shape their perspectives on these deeply personal and important topics.”

EDSE founder and lead educator Anne Hodder-Shipp asked Chase to teach this portion of the certification because of her experience and inimitable expertise. Chase has built a loyal following in-person and online as a fierce supporter of maintaining open and honest dialog about sexual pleasure and body image, including its social, cultural, personal and sexual impacts.

“Elle and I have been colleagues and friends for six years and it has been a pleasure working with her to build this curriculum for EDSE,” Hodder-Shipp said. “Among other things, Elle is known for her work within the body-pos and body acceptance movements and her work surrounding sexual expression and sensuality has made her a thought leader within the space. I can’t think of a better person to have these conversations with EDSE attendees, which is why I asked her to return for the Fall training.”

Ideal for budding sex educators, health and social service workers, and anyone looking to bolster their sex-ed knowledge, the EDSE certification program prepares attendees to have informed, inclusive and confident conversations about sex. Over the course of two weekends, EDSE attendees will learn key information about human sexuality, intimate health, consent, and communication skills and be trained to respond to sex-related questions in a concise, intersectional, and nonjudgmental manner.

"Attendees also will leave with new insight into their own sexuality — a fun side effect of sex education training," said Hodder-Shipp.

The next EDSE certification will take place November 9-10 and 16-17 in Los Angeles. Individual certification is $2,095, and payment plans are available to those in need.
