Bring queer joy into your workplace.
Workshops rooted in community care.
Led by Yi Jia Shao, RP (he/they) — relational therapist, proud Queer, Trans and BIPOC therapist
Inclusive workplaces aren't built with a single policy.They're built with real conversations.
I partner with corporations and organizations to deliver workshops that go beyond awareness checkboxes. My sessions are trauma-informed, body-based, and grounded in lived experience — designed to create psychological safety and genuine belonging for 2SLGBTQ+ employees and their colleagues.
Areas of workshops
For your company, For NGOs & nonprofit, For teams of all sizes
LGBTQ+ awareness
History, language, and allyship — grounded in real stories, not just slides.
Allyship in action
Relationally, your team knows exactly how to show up for colleagues.
Open conversations
Safe-space facilitation so every voice in the room feels welcome to speak.
Somatic & nervous system
Body-based tools that help teams regulate, reconnect, and build resilience together.
Creative expression
History, language, and allyship — grounded in real stories, not just slides: poetry, journaling, and art therapy woven into the workshop experience.
Inclusive leadership
Thoughtful guidance for HR and people leaders on building inclusive policies that go beyond compliance — and actually create belonging.
I offer trauma-informed, queer & trans-affirming healing spaces that integrate somatic work, creative expression, and community support to help you reconnect with yourself and others. Whether you're processing grief, exploring intimacy, or reclaiming joy, these workshops provide a safe space to heal.
Somatic & Movement Practices – Regulate your nervous system and build resilience through body-based healing.
Creative Expression – Explore healing through collaged poetry, journaling, and art therapy for deep self-reflection.
