About Patricia

Thank you for visiting. Here’s where you can get to know me a little. I am a Sexologist, sex educator and writer. I trained in medicine in the University of Sri Lanka and did my postgraduate study in sexology at the University of Hawaii.

I retired in 2011 after a 22-year career as an academic at the University of Sydney. For the last 8 years of my time as an academic, I was the director of an internationally recognised postgraduate program in sexual health.

What have I done after retirement?

I have followed my passion to educate people of all ages on good holistic sexual health by speaking and writing in the area from a Christ focussed Biblical framework. Explore my site for books, novels and examples of my presentations

I am an evangelical Christian. I am married to Vasantha. My son Kamal is a Presbyterian minister.

I hope you enjoy your time exploring my site.

Speaking & Workshops

Christians claim to know God – the God who, having created us, tells us how to act in healthy, life-affirming ways, including how to behave sexually. The Christian church has a positive duty to help people form a healthy sexual self-identity, and behave in healthy, appropriate ways.

As an Evangelical Christian, all of Patricia’s work flows from a Biblical, Christ-centred worldview. She has spent many years developing a framework of Biblically informed seminars and lectures in healthy human sexuality. Her presentations challenge the listeners to reflect on how they could better live their whole lives including their sexuality to God’s glory.

Her presentations are appropriate for a range of audiences. Some talks are specifically focussed on building up Christians at different stages of life; while others are evangelistic and appeal to a broader group.

Writing

Her writing and speaking bring together her enthusiasm for sex and her love for the glory of God. Her nonfiction books are gold-standard guides for good sex for all ages. She also writes romantic fiction with a social conscience and a twist of adventure, bringing together her international experience in sexual health and her passion for her homeland of Sri Lanka.
