Bondage Classes
Bondage is My specialty and one of My favorite skillsets to teach! I love the "ah-ha!" moment when students grasp a key concept in class. I have been practicing rope bondage for almost 15 years.
Bedroom Bondage: Rope 101
My most popular class! Developed in 2022 and workshopped with some of Atlanta's best bondage artists, this class focuses on the very foundational basics of rope bondage with a strong emphasis on safety, technique, and connecting intimately with your partner. Currently offered every other month and available on Eventbrite!
Mixed Media Bondage
This class explores a wide variety of bondage materials and how to use them both safely and effectively to restrain your partner! We discuss the pros and cons of leather, metal, plastic, rope, and alternative creative options. This is NOT a rope class! It is specifically geared towards other media.
Predicament Bondage
Positioning plus incentive over time. Learn how to use this formula to create physical and mental predicaments that will keep your bottom under tension and in the moment! This class has a heavy rope focus but can be accomplished by any bondage method.
The Impact of Bondage
Impact play is intense enough on its own, but what happens when we add bondage to the equation? This class discusses positioning and bondage techniques and their impact on the bottom's ability to process pain and sensation.
Breast Bondage
Tying up the tatas! Who doesn't love that? In this class we discuss all the ways to tie breasts- no matter how big or small! This gender inclusive class discusses ways to tie any shape or size for decoration, sensation, pain, power, and more!
Crotch Rope
There's just something a little... extra... about a tight cinch between the legs. Explore how to create both pleasure and discomfort for your bottom by utilizing crotch rope in a variety of ways. We cover sanitation and hygiene, how to self-tie a crotch harness, securing vibrators and insertables, and other fun and creative uses for rope!
Rope for CBT
A continuation of the general crotch rope class, this class goes a step further to focus on male anatomy specifically. Discover fun ways to make him squirm using rope on the most sensitive of areas. From leashes to chastity cages, this class is always packed with potential.
BDSM Classes
Apart from bondage classes, I've also been pleased to share My skills and expertise on a variety of other BDSM topics. Here are a few of the most popular repeat course offerings.
Marks and Masochism
For the often misunderstood masochist and those who love them! We discuss the need for pain and marks, meaning and symbolism behind marks, negotiating for and managing marks, and doing it all in the safest, healthiest way possible. From intentional marks to freak accidents, trouble shoot your masochism with other like-minded folks.
Impact 101
This class explores how to craft a basic impact scene using the bare minimum- your hands! Starting with one of the simplest forms of impact, spanking, we discuss negotiating for impact scenes, crafting the flow of the scene, positioning for impact, and spanking techniques. Don't forget your aftercare!
Impact 102
Take a tour of impact toys in this workshop comparing the pros and cons of various common implements like paddles, canes, floggers, and whips. Compare and contrast sensations created by various materials such as wood, leather, acrylic, rubber, and more. You'll leave with a clear understanding of stingy vs thuddy, guaranteed!
Sensation and Deprivation
Learn to manipulate the senses either by applying them (sensation play) or by taking them away (deprivation). Join the two in kinky matrimony for the ultimate erotic journey. This class explores various methods of creating sensation such as electrical play, wax, play, knife play and more. Enhance the experience by utilizing bondage, blindfolds, gags and other sensory deprivation tools.
High Protocol and the Language of Fans
Not your average protocol class! This class was designed specifically with high protocol dining events in mind. Learn basic dining and serving etiquette on BOTH sides of the slash for smoothly giving and receiving service at a protocol dinner. To make all the boring rules more fun, we've added the element of Victorian fan language into the class as a bonus.
Connection not Clout
This discussion-based class addresses reasons for playing within the kink community as well as goals and motivations in choosing play partners. Common pitfalls include comparing kinks, social pressures, unfulfilled needs, and the usual jealousy and envy of scene or activities. Self-examine and redirect to what really matters- making those connections and enjoying your journey your way!
Advocating for Aftercare
The scene is over.... now what? Learn to negotiate what comes after the scene has ended from first aid to follow ups. Workshop your own aftercare needs and how to ask for them ahead of time! Plan in advance for when things go wrong and avoid the common mistakes that make drop worse.
Fetish Classes
The cross over between the kink and fetish worlds and My work in entertainment is huge! Most of these skills were first learned in theatre and film, but make for a fun time here too!
Liquid Latex Body Paint
A sadistically creative way to paint your partner! Enjoy the feeling of rubber, the aesthetic of body paint, and all of the many ways to both apply and remove this fun medium from the skin for a variety of evil sensations. BEWARE OF LATEX ALLERGIES
The Wardrobe of a Dominatrix
"Where did you get that outfit?" From heels and hose to leather and latex, this class offers up resources for designing your wardrobe, procuring accessories, and maintaining your collection. We will discuss the iconic Dominatrix look and how it sets the tone for any scene!
Transformation Makeup

Wig Styling 101
Last on and first off, your wig can take a beating in daily use. This workshop discusses the difference between real and synthetic hair wigs and how to care for each. Walk step by step through washing, brushing, styling, wearing, and storing you hairpiece.
Staying in Character- Roleplay
Getting in... and staying in.... character for your role play can be a real challenge for many people. Workshop developing your kinky personae to help stay in character and small rituals to get you going even when you aren't in the mood. Learn some improv skills to keep the fun going when things don't go as planned. Most importantly remember to enjoy yourself and don't take it too seriously!
