I first saw Shibari while attending BDSM/Kink parties in 2012 but it wasn’t until I rediscovered it in 2017 during a Shibari performance night where I became instantly drawn to it and began an impassioned pursuit into attaining as much knowledge from as many instructors and masters from around the world as I could..
I’ve always been a kinky person and being entrusted into taking someone through their inner most desires and exploring the unfamiliar has been some of the most thrilling and nourishing memories I have. Over the years I have explored my submissive side as a rope/impact-play bottom as well, learning what it feels like to be on the other side of a power dynamic and have had so many amazing experiences at the hands of skilled rope tops.
Shibari seemed to come at the perfect time in my life. A time when I felt the need to distance myself from sex and the dating world, to a place where I could platonically navigate through an interaction enjoying and savouring many more of the nuances of trust, intimacy and connection.
A few years into tying I had my first experience assisting in a class environment and very quickly realised how much I loved teaching others how to tie. Motivating my rope-bottom friends to learn, trying to devise ways to teach different minds how to remember patterns and movements during private lessons, as well as breaking through language barriers teaching online friends in different countries around the world.
I’ve learned so much in these last 7 years of exploring Shibari. In this journey I’ve had exhilarating highs and devastating lows, successes and failures, opinions and changed opinions, wisdom and ignorance, learning-unlearning-
