Hi, I'm Abby. Welcome to The Bare Facts! We deliver personalized, comprehensive sexual health education to teens, young adults, and parents who recognize that healthy sexuality is a fundamental component of human wellness.
Every adult deserves to have safe and pleasurable sexual experiences, access to quality education and evidence-based sexual health resources, and freedom from coercion, discrimination, and violence. But the kind of education that ensures these things is not routinely built into the healthcare system, and it certainly doesn't happen by chance.
In fact, even as a recent report from The American Academy of Pediatrics encouraged providers to have one-to-one time with teens to provide accurate, comprehensive sex education, our traditional insurance-based healthcare model continues to dictate that providers see more patients in less time, leaving inadequate time for the sensitive conversations a robust sexual health education requires. That's not good enough. It's time for Seriously Straightforward Sexual Health Education, and that starts with taking the "cringe" out of the conversation!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
As a teenager, going to the OB-GYN can feel embarrassing and nerve-wracking, but Abby made me feel completely comfortable and safe from the very first moment of my virtual appointment. She's kind, understanding, and truly listens without any judgment. She took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and make sure I felt heard and respected. I’m so grateful to have found someone who makes these appointments stress-free and reassuring!
A Boston Teen
When my daughter was exploring her birth control options, Abby made her feel comfortable right from the start, and listened to her questions and concerns without any judgment. She explained the different choices in a way that was easy for my daughter to understand, which gave her the confidence to make the decision that was right for her. I also appreciated the caring and approachable way Abby included me in the conversation when needed, while still giving my daughter the space to take the lead.
A Boston Mom
I called Abby because I was thinking about getting an IUD and wanted to learn more. She listened while I told her about what I was looking for and really took the time to be invested in my health. I left our conversation feeling confident, comfortable, and more educated on my options as well as contraception in general.

Abby is not only an expert in her field with a vast breadth of knowledge in women’s health, she also has a remarkable ability to create a safe and comfortable environment. The fact that my daughter can call and talk to her about anything — and have an educated, thoughtful and comfortable discussion with a professional has been invaluable. Her compassionate approach and expertise feels so reassuring to me as a mom!
