I began my rope journey as a bottom in Phoenix in 2012 and shortly thereafter moved to London, where much of my early rope learning happened. Upon moving back to the US, I began presenting at cons and intensives around the country, while regularly returning to Europe to further my education. My career as a bondage practitioner, teacher, and performer grew alongside my career as a professional acrobat and movement specialist. I’ve trained extensively in partner acrobatics, contortion, and hair hanging, and through these disciplines I’ve developed a keen sense of how to explore intensity in sustainable ways and what it means for two bodies to be in conversation with one another. I’ve studied with top practitioners from Japan and Europe, while cultivating my own approach informed by my multiple disciplinary background.

I believe that kink is inherently political. and I strive to bring my politics, my values, and an accountability for those values into my teaching spaces. I don’t believe that there is anything inherently healing about a bondage practice, but I honor and hold the capacity for healing to take place within a container that acknowledges the personal, collective, and ancestral traumas of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. I live and practice in Northampton, MA on Pocumtuck land.
