Dr. Betty Martin
Sexological Bodyworker
As the creator of The Wheel of Consent®, Dr. Betty Martin has revolutionized how we understand and teach consent in over 15 countries. A Certified Sexological Bodyworker and Sacred Intimate, she brings 40 years of hands-on experience working with boundaries and touch. Her groundbreaking framework has helped thousands transform their relationship with consent, earning her international recognition as the leading expert in consent education.
During her decades as a chiropractor, Betty made a profound discovery: most people's struggle with boundaries wasn't from lack of knowledge, but from missing practical skills. This revelation came through her own journey of understanding touch and permission, leading her to develop a completely new approach to consent. What started as personal insight in her bodywork practice evolved into the revolutionary Wheel of Consent framework, born from her commitment to helping others experience more authentic connections.
Betty's teaching style breaks down complex concepts into accessible, practical tools through her warm, straightforward approach. She focuses on experiential learning through simple yet profound exercises like the Three-Minute Game, allowing students to embody consent principles rather than just intellectually understand them. Her method emphasizes immediate application and gentle self-discovery, making transformative learning feel natural and enjoyable.
Course FAQ
Not at all! Dr. Betty Martin designed this course to meet you wherever you are on your journey. Whether you're completely new to consent work or have some experience, the Wheel of Consent framework is taught from the ground up, with clear explanations and practical exercises that build progressively.
While you can practice many aspects of the Wheel of Consent on your own, having a practice partner can enhance your learning experience. This could be an intimate partner, but it could also be a friend you trust for the non-sexual touch exercises. Dr. Betty provides specific guidance for both solo and partnered practice throughout the course.
The course includes specific modules on having these conversations with partners, using accessible language that feels natural rather than clinical. Dr. Betty provides scripts and conversation starters that help present the Wheel of Consent as an exciting opportunity to enhance intimacy rather than a criticism of current patterns.
Many students report immediate insights from learning the four quadrants framework, with noticeable improvements in communication within the first few practice sessions. However, the real transformation typically unfolds over several weeks as you practice and integrate the concepts into your daily life and intimate encounters.
Unlike traditional consent models that focus mainly on "yes" or "no," the Wheel of Consent uniquely breaks down touch into four distinct dynamics: giving, receiving, taking, and allowing. This comprehensive framework helps you understand not just what you're doing, but who it's really for, creating deeper awareness and more authentic connections.
The course includes practical exercises that help you embody the Wheel of Consent principles so they become second nature. You'll learn specific phrases, check-in techniques, and ways to navigate transitions that feel natural and flow with intimate moments rather than interrupting them.
