Inclusivity
Ensuring all voices and experiences are valued and respected.
About me
Hello, I'm Ana Vaz
My Journey and Background
My journey into unconventional intimacy began when I realised that traditional norms around relationships and intimacy simply didn’t work for me.
I remember feeling confined by the expectations of how I should love, the relationships I should value, and the version of myself I should be to fit in.
Deep down, though, I knew there was something more — something that resonated with my true self.
This realisation sparked a journey of unlearning limiting rules and exploring what it means to connect and love authentically.
Today, I’m passionate about helping others find their voices, rewrite their stories, and create space for self-discovery, free from judgement or labels.
Seeking understanding and a sense of belonging, I looked for support groups within the non-monogamous community.
When I couldn’t find them, I decided to create them— safe, affirming spaces where open dialogue, mutual support, and genuine connection could thrive.
These groups became a lifeline, offering the community and belonging I had been missing in normative circles. Through them, with the help of the community, I discovered that there’s no single “right” way to live or love.
My Commitment to Inclusivity and Empowerment
I aim to inspire individuals to take control of their personal and relational narratives, fostering confidence and self-awareness.
Empowerment is my mission.
Integrity guides my interactions and teachings, ensuring honesty and transparency in every aspect of my work.
Projects and Involvement
