Roan Coughtry

Roan Elspeth Coughtry (they/them) is a writer, facilitator, coach and healing artist. With a background in somatics, social work and community organizing, their work weaves together ancestral healing, embodied practice, and the liberatory power of desire. As a queer and nonbinary sex educator, they center the importance of pleasure, desire, and reclamation of the body as essential practices toward healing and liberation. Roan works individually with clients as a coach and healing artist, and they work specifically with white folks in the US around ancestral healing and co-creating white anti-racist culture and practices. Among other things, they’re a facilitant of global YES! Jams, a writer for the international feminist organization VOICE, and a member of the visionary Decolonize Race Project. They’re a forever nerd and are currently studying herbalism, Scottish Gaelic, linguistics, and Celtic mythology and folklore. You can find out more about their work at www.roancoughtry.com.
