“What can I say about Amy Jo Goddard…
She’s a much needed teacher in the desert of sex education.
She has a great program! After only 2 evenings with her intuitively I feel it works if you work it.
She is a great communicator. She knows how to teach, knows how to listen, knows how to let others participate and contribute.
She is generous in spirit, and in real time.
She has a big heart and a mission. I commend her, I recommend her and I look forward to being part of her community of women (and men) who are empowered through their sexuality.
She walks the talk; she lives her work. She is authentic and a REAL woman.”

“Amy Jo has ignited a spark in my consciousness. My sexuality has been buried under to do lists, shame and fear of knowing my sexual self. I am giving myself a big hug for taking a risk and I want more!”
–Igniting Your Inner Wild Woman Teleclass Participant, 2011

“My participation in this program has liberated me from shame and my self-imposed limitations in sex and in my relationships. I feel freer and more comfortable than I have in a long time. There is more fun, laughter, playfulness and sexual energy in my marriage and I have new tools to deepen our connection. I feel better equipped to raise my children to feel amazing about their bodies and empowered in their sexuality. I feel honored to have taken this journey with such brave, brilliant and magical goddesses. In these women, I have glimpsed my own power, radiance and deep well of sexual energy.”
–Tracy, Women’s Sexuality Empowerment Apprenticeship Participant

“Amy Jo is a great facilitator and educator. She is very grounded. Her openness about her own sexuality and emotions was very helpful in setting the tone of the workshop and she helped create an atmosphere of openness among all participants. The workshop gave me some amazing learning experiences that I will remember forever. Most of all, I feel a lot more comfortable about my own sexuality and I now have a greater sense of excitement for adventure that I will bring back to my relationship with my husband!”
–Women’s Sexuality Empowerment Apprenticeship Participant, 2011

“What a journey! Amy Jo’s sexuality workshop has infused me with an electrifying, sensually opening, positively scared, urgent feeling that hasn’t touched me in quite a long time. Amy Jo really hit home. She is such a wise, knowledgeable, and well-trained teacher and facilitator. She also held us accountable for our selves, our lives, our intentions. I felt comfortable to give myself totally to her program, which for me was the perfect blend of intellectual discussion, spirituality, movement, play, healing, and sharing.“

“One of the best courses I’ve taken at Hunter. This course made me really reflect on myself and also on the messages I’m conveying to my students.”
–Graduate Student, Hunter College

“Amy Jo’s skillfulness as a facilitator ensured a successful inaugural session of the WSEA. Her capacity to be a strong ally to women of color helped create a safe space for me as a participant. She was able to work well with a diverse group of women without playing favorites or condescending to generalizations. Amy Jo also knew when to challenge each of us during key moments of the program so that we could experience breakthroughs –which are still continuing to unfold for me. It was an incredible experience to be a part of this program.”

“Amy Jo is extremely knowledgeable about her subject and is able to succinctly explain information. I was impressed with the wealth and depth of her knowledge and certainly wish the class were much longer.”
–Graduate Student, Hunter College

“This class was seamless. The instructor was honest, fair and knowledgeable. I was unenthused heading into the course and left excited by the possibilities to grow as an educator by the end of the first 20 minutes of class!”
–Graduate Student, Hunter College

“Amy Jo did a great job of holding space for everything we brought to the table, and I think each person in the class took away something unique and important to her. I’d definitely recommend this class to anyone; I think it should almost be required that every woman gets to experience such a loving, safe circle in which to explore her sexuality. The world would be a very different, much happier place.”
