What the girls, gays, and theys are saying about Eva Bloom’s queer mini-courses!
My experience with Eva was one that I wished would never end! The safe space they created through facilitation and education became a short, but extremely sweet get away of like minded people learning to navigate their Queerness. I have learned lots about myself in the few hours spent with Eva and the group, and I am looking forward to learning more upon joining the F*ck Comphet Support Club! If you're looking for a sign to demonstrate willingness through tenderness, vulnerability, self-love, and - THIS IS IT!
You should attend if…
🌈 You know that seeing family more often & company parties over the fall/winter is hard as a queer person (and maybe you’re not out to people and just have to sit through assumptions and queerphobia ick ick) and want to feel more resourced and joyful!
🌈 Watching the L Word or reading a queer book you feel SO jealous at queer friend groups, but feel stuck not knowing how to create your own or find friends!
🌈 You’ve just come out only to realize that most of your friends are straight and want queerness to be more integrated into your life- less in a “at the queer bar 24/7 way” and more in the “oh I feel confident and comfy in myself way”
🌈 You know that seeing family more often & company parties over the fall/winter is hard as a queer person (and maybe you’re not out to people and just have to sit through assumptions and queerphobia ick ick) and want to feel more resourced and joyful!
I’m here to guide you on this journey!
Hi! 👋 I'm Eva Bloom!
I’m a late bloomer queer myself! Comphet aka compulsory heterosexuality had me in the closet for a loooong time, founding my High School’s GSA and having a FFF threesome while thinking I was still straight???
The time and space for reflection over the pandemic (plus lesbian Tik Tok, of course!) finally helped me come out as a lesbian and non-binary in 2021.
From there, I’ve been inspired to channel my sex educator training (Masters of Science on the social psychology of sexuality) into helping late blooming queer, trans, non-binary, and questioning people build confidence, queer joy, and have amazing sex!
I know queer imposter syndrome first hand, and how overwhelming it can be to take the leap to explore your queerness. It’s incredibly brave to step outside what you were taught your whole life and what is the “norm” when it comes to sex and relationships.
I’ve worked with 100+ late bloomers, and I know that power of creating a life that honours ALL parts of you is life-changing.
Eva's energy was so perfect – they knew how to be equal parts engaging and informative in an online workshop. The online space created was super welcoming, providing a warm environment for folks to share their personal experiences.
