Speaking, Media & Conversations

Challenging conventional thinking about sex, love and relationships

What if many of our sexual difficulties aren't caused by something wrong with us, but by the way we've been taught to think about sex?

Jacqueline Hellyer is a Relational Sexologist, author and creator of Relational Sexology, bringing more than 25 years of clinical experience and a lifelong fascination with human potential to conversations about sexuality, intimacy and relationships.

Combining science, psychology, philosophy and a healthy willingness to question conventional wisdom, Jacqueline offers fresh perspectives on what it means to relate, love and live well.

She's an experienced speaker and media commentator who brings depth, humour and candour to subjects that can be challenging, confronting and wonderfully fascinating.

Ideas Worth Talking About

What If We're Doing Sex All Wrong?

What if the problem isn't sexual dysfunction, but our conventional model of sex? Exploring how moving beyond performance, expectations and prescribed sexual scripts can open up entirely new possibilities for pleasure, intimacy and connection.

Sexual Freedom Needs Relational Maturity

Sexual liberation has given us extraordinary freedoms, but has it also created new challenges? Exploring the difference between sexual freedom and entitlement, and why genuine liberation requires curiosity, responsibility and respect for others.

Beyond the Orgasm

There's so much more to erotic experience than the pursuit of a climax. Exploring the extraordinary landscape of human pleasure, expanded orgasmic possibilities and the cultivation of erotic capacity.

Keeping Love and Desire Alive

Long-term relationships don't have to become sexually stale. Exploring the art of maintaining connection, cultivating everyday eroticism and allowing love and desire to evolve over time.

Sex Should Age Like a Fine Wine

Who says our best sex is behind us? Challenging the cultural narrative of sexual decline and exploring how maturity, experience, self-awareness and changing bodies can open up new dimensions of erotic pleasure.

Sex, Science & Soul

What happens when we bring science, psychology, consciousness and spirituality into the same conversation? Exploring sexuality as a doorway into embodiment, connection, human potential and the deeper mysteries of being alive.

Professional Speaking Feedback

"We were very pleased and fortunate to have Jacqueline Hellyer speak at our YPO business leaders conference. Our brief journey into the world of personal relationships and sex provided not only a wonderful escape from our business focus, but we also learned a lot about ourselves and our partners. It was much more than Venus and Mars, it was real, practical, insightful and best of all – it was enjoyable. Whether Jacqueline Hellyer is the sole focus of your event or a wonderful sideline – she will delight and educate you. She should not be missed."
David Owens, YPO Australasia

"The program provided during our YPO chapter retreat in Edinburgh provided us insights on the critical physical and emotional components of a relationship. Jacqueline's ability to discuss such intimate issues in a comedic and professional manner put everyone at ease and allowed for greater comfort and participation in her seminars. The experience added tremendously to our retreat and we would highly recommend her for other groups interested in livening up an event or retreat.”
Mohammed Khudairi, YPO Dubai

"Jacqueline’s complete candour is a gift for any discussion about sex and relationships. Her experience helping people at the coalface of Australian relationships is a huge asset for an informed, engaged and often hilarious conversation.”

"Jacqueline truly encapsulated the word 'expert', and was everything you wish for in a speaker; witty, knowledgeable, engaging storyteller, inclusive, well paced and offered a combination of anecdotal stories with well researched facts to deliver an extremely entertaining and educational talk. She made everyone feel at ease, and frequently had the room heartily laughing out loud. She helped shed misconceptions in this area with her excellent understanding and knowledge of the content, demonstrating her leadership in this field. I received so much positive feedback after this masterclass from the mamas who had attended."
