MA in Mental Health Counseling. Christine also holds certifications in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM).
She is currently working on her hours for certification as a Sex Therapist and is almost done with her qualifications for
her certification in Sex Education.
By no means do you have to have ANY of these credentials. In becoming
a Goddess with Athena's Home Novelties, Christine has found a passion in the area of sexuality. She enjoys helping
others heal in an area so integral to our core and difficult for so many to talk about.
Christine Laplante has
been providing sex education services for over 14 years to an array of audiences including: colleges, teachers, religious
groups, individuals and adults of all genders and sexualities. She has been a peer counselor, member of GLBT support
groups and active in HIV/AIDS awareness on college campuses. She has participated in health expos and women's events,
bringing a sex-positive and holistic view.
Christine has been a
Goddess with Athena's Home Novelties providing the in-home experience since Valentine's Day, 2004.
She has been a team leader for almost as long. Christine was hired by Athena's Home Novelties in 2005 to be a trainer
for the company. She trains other women and men to be competent sex educators before they enter the field. Christine
frequently appears as the presentor of various topics video-taped for the company's Learning Resource Center,
writes regularly for the company magazine and provides a teleclass once a month to a taped audience. Topics encompass
