She has also created several concept courses - Qi Zouk, Zouk Lab, reversed role classes (Leaders & Followers) as well as leading the community on issues around safety and consent by creating a publicly available Consent and Code of Conduct policy and Incident Reporting form for her events in 2023 and onwards.
