empowering disability communities through inclusive, sex-positive education.

Welcome to My Friend in Sex Ed

At My Friend in Sex Ed, we’re passionate about creating a sex-positive, inclusive space where people with disabilities are empowered to navigate their relationships, self-esteem, self-advocacy, and sexuality.

I’m Niamh Mannion, a Developmental Educator and Sexologist, dedicated to championing disability and sexuality rights. I believe everyone deserves access to comprehensive education about healthy relationships, sexuality, and identity.

I also work closely with families, caregivers, and disability professionals, giving them the tools and knowledge to create more inclusive, supportive environments.

Whether you’re seeking personalised support or professional development in sexuality and disability, I’m here to help.
