Betty Martin
Relationship and Intimacy Coach
Lecturer
Dr Betty Martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years, first as a chiropractor and, upon retiring from that practice, as a certified surrogate partner and somatic sex educator.
Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practice informed her creation of The Wheel of Consent® and her book ‘The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent’. Betty has also created a widely used five-day practitioner training, co-founded the School of Consent, and has trained others to teach her model around the world.
Betty mentors helping professionals across disciplines (from psychotherapists to sex workers and other hands-on practitioners) and speaks on topics such as learning to receive and give, normalizing sexual desire, bodily autonomy, ethics for practitioners, and supporting people in power, pleasure, and vulnerability. She is known as a grounded, knowledgeable, down-to-earth podcast guest and workshop leader.
