• March 2019
Having a heavy motor impairment and lacking physical autonomy, Laeticia shares with us how her life transformed from being a single, without any sexual life until 35, to meeting with her partner with whom she discovered a sexual fulfillment she had never believed she could enjoy. She demonstrates to us that nothing is impossible, even with the constraints of a handicap! It's a universal issue, simple, and so beautiful!
In her thirties, living in Grenoble-France, Laeticia Rebord is a translator in the marketing department of a large group, working part time using teleworking. Besides, she occasionally trains future carers in a training organism concerned with physical impairment. She has been active as the Vice-President (and soon President) of the Association for the Promotion of Sexual Support (APPAS). She has been in a relationship for two years. She has a genetic disease called "spinal amyotrophy" that totally paralyzes her since birth but does not impair at all her sensitivity.
