Shanie Lapointe - Sex Therapist and Doula

Shanie's interest in sex therapy can be attributed to the openness of her family regarding sexuality. As far as she can remember, helping others has always been one of her passions. In kindergarten, her best friend had a physical disability and Shanie was always there to support her when she needed it; as such, helping others as a job was a natural choice for Shanie!

After obtaining her bachelor's degree in sexology in 2008, Shanie worked in the community for 12 years as a family counsellor and a youth worker. Over these years, she also became involved as a volunteer in the LGBTQ* community, finding it important to give her time to a community of which she is a part. These experiences have made her grow and evolve both professionally and personally!
