Honour your heart: Ella Lauser at TEDxWhitechapel

What if asking one question could change your life? Sexual health, spiritual and wellbeing coach Ella Lauser said allowing herself to be endlessly curious led her to find her purpose. Speaking on stage, she encourages us to use and trust our intuition and have the courage to honour and follow our hearts.

Ella Lauser is an innovative sexual health educator, speaker, writer, energy worker and birth doula. But perhaps most importantly she is the sister you probably never had.
At an early age, Ella had the unique opportunity to be a confidant and support system for many people. With wisdom, humor, and openness passed down to her from her bisexual grandma, Ella received a rich education. In 2000 she began The I Want Sex Club (I.W.S.C.) for students who wanted to talk about sex in a non-judgmental, supportive forum. Shortly thereafter, she went on to teach comprehensive sexual health education to high school classrooms throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District. An advocate of wellness, Ella is a certified yoga teacher, birth and postpartum doula, has attended countless seminars in personal development and whole food nutrition, and continues to travel the globe taking in wisdom from teachers, midwives, shamans and storytellers. She answers questions and posts thought-provoking topics regularly on her website Go Ask Ella.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
