Hello wild wonder, it’s a pleasure to meet you…

these kind of things can feel really self-indulgent, but if you’d like to know more about my personal lineage, this page is dedicated to support you in feeling informed.

In essence;

My offerings stem solely from my lived, embodied experiences that have supported me in my own personal healing - drawing from a tapestry of modalities that I’ve worked through&with including but not limited to; Applied Tantric Yogic sciences, Somatic movement, Transformative Breathwork, Bodywork & Finally, finding my humble home in that of Art, Poetry & the embodied research of Feminine Leadership.

All of these schools of thought are woven together in service to creating spaces for brave self-responsibility, & empowerment- into integrated, feminine leadership.

What I love about what I do - more than anything else - is watching my clients become my greatest muses. I love to support women in stepping into their clarity & courage in finding & asserting what they’re READY & WORTHY of in this life.

My most treasured personal privilege & capital that I have & that I’ve needed to self-educate myself in is:

I AM UNAFRAID TO EXPRESS MYSELF - NO MATTER IF IT MEANS I FACE DIS-BELONGING. I trust in the power of a woman’s raw, wild expression more than anything else, and it’s time we un-silenced the feminine. It’s time we let ourselves be fully expressed - if not now, when?

AN ODE TO WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT

This is part of my journey and what motivates me to bring this work...

I have always lived deeply in my primal, sexual truth as a free femme radical; explored, wild & fully expressed. As a young woman I was subject to deep shaming for breaking social norms of propriety & numbness.

Many times that shaming came at the hands of those closest to me including family & partners. I carried that shame but in a world that disdains the unbound & empowered woman - the radical in me never permitted my truth to be hidden.

I saw that shame was of the most harmful energies in motion (e-motions) to carry in one’s psyche & body.
This existence put the question to me: What can shame show me about the wounded aspects of my-self & the fearful aspects of the world that subjected me to it?
Furthermore, knowing that shame is the only emotion that is learnt;

What can shame do for me?

Reflecting deeply on this I dove deep into the cells of my experience & became the alchemist of my shame & the shadow that held it. This process of living from my deepest truth & never allowing shadowed emotions to constrain my free expression - this has been my map throughout my path.

That path has woven me through a diverse spectrum of vocations including; queer performance artist & creative director, event producer, body-worker, Tantric dominatrix, intimacy coach, shamanic guide & rope bondage ritualist.
My work is the integration of my experience crossing those terrains.

It is my mission to guide those I work with through these terrains & back to themselves; into

deep communion with their wild truth & to alchemise their internal shadow into gold.

On a deeper level; I have had the humbling experience of mishandlings & trauma from a young age. That has lead me down the path of finding trauma-informed ways of working with erotic energy - & specifically in conscious kink - as I strongly believe that there is so much potency in working with erotic expressions that challenge social norms - for healing lineages of trauma & shame.

Furthermore, I hold these spaces dear to my heart for catalysing the felt sense of belonging, which no other space can truly cultivate in the same way.

Moreover, I am in service to people experiencing freedom & belonging - to creating spaces where people can unfurl into their most natural, oceanic state & reclaim the wildest parts of themselves, free from shame & finally experience a deep sense of belonging.
