Speaking
Hillsong Conference, 2024
“I am on mission to help Christians build emotionally connected, biblically grounded, and sexually healthy relationships.”
I am passionate about educating people about God’s design and plan for sex, intimacy and relationships and empowering people to live out their relationships in a healthy, respectful and God-honouring way.
My Passion
I have the privilege of speaking to individuals and couples about relationships, sexuality and sexual health. I have presented workshops to high school students, young adults, people in relationships (dating, engaged and married couples) and pastors and leaders around godly sexuality and relationships, sex and intimacy in marriage and how pastors and leaders can support individuals and couples in sexual intimacy issues.
My talks are research and evidenced-based, practical, encouraging and empowering. I challenge the false narrative of a sexualised pornified culture that promotes an unhealthy approach to sex and relationships and point people to a healthy biblical values-based approach to sex, intimacy and relationships.

The Building Intimacy in Marriage event was an excellent introductory night that enhanced our understanding of marital intimacy and established a foundation for future discussions. Renee's communication skills are impressive; she effortlessly discusses any topic in a relaxed and authentic manner. Her humour and relatable examples made the evening enjoyable and a wonderful date night for couples. We eagerly anticipate part two!

Sarah, Pure Heart Therapies
Renee gave a great introduction to building intimacy from a Biblical point of view. The course was interactive and thought-provoking, helping my husband and I to reflect on areas where we could improve in our marriage. Renee was a warm and clear presenter who really knew her stuff. She presented the course in a relaxed but open manner so that all the couples were able to enjoy the course at ease despite some of the potentially awkward topics covered.
Linda, Attendee, NSW
The way vulnerability and the importance of doing conflict well, instead of avoiding it, was presented. It was more than informative. It gave practical tools applicable to all, with a Christian perspective on the development of intimacy to build a solid marriage.
Eddie Frenkel, Attendee, Hillsong Church, NSW
Renee does a beautiful job of speaking about a sensitive and often difficult topic. She shares great, biblical knowledge and advice with really helpful practical activities that have been really valuable for our marriage.
Attendee, Lifesource Church, NSW
"Listening to Renee speak multiple times about sex, intimacy and relationships has been an absolute revelation. From the moment she takes the stage, her presence commands attention and draws me into a world of captivating stories and profound insights. Her compelling and heartfelt delivery feels like having a conversation with a friend. She is an expert in her field, and this comes through with the research she weaves through her message. She doesn’t just share knowledge, her authenticity and wisdom leaves me inspired and has ignited a spark in me to explore and reflect on what it means to be intimate. Can’t wait to hear her speak again!"
