About:

Once playfully dubbed the ‘CEO of Make a Kinky Wish Foundation’ because I love helping people’s kinky dreams come true, I come alive when I can inspire, deepen and transform your relationship with yourself and your partner(s) through rope and kink. As a shibari artist and educator, I love helping people use rope as a powerful tool for playful intimacy, connection, and self-expression. 

I first attended Lovely Fate as a guest but I keep coming back to offer rope tasters at events and educational rope classes because they curate incredibly thoughtful and professional events that are fun, playful, sexy AF, and I continue to meet some of the sweetest, curious people through them!  

By day I am a socio-behavioral Public Health consultant and coach, connecting sex-positivity with sexual and reproductive health, and facilitating, training and conducting research on stigma reduction in the US and African contexts. When we practice safer sex and communicate openly about our health, our desires and our needs, the world opens up and we can explore and play and deepen our connections in the most transformative, magical way. 

If I’m not traveling for my public health job, doing Pilates, getting out in nature with friends and chosen family, or snuggling with my sweet ChiCorgi pup, you can usually find me at Lovely Fate events or other local LA play parties, teaching rope workshops, or through my coaching practice, Rope and Relationships (R&R).

Looking For:

I am looking to reach anyone who loves or has been curious about playing with rope or exploring their kinky side. Feel free to reach out and let’s chat! I have such an amazing full community so I am not necessarily looking for new anything…but I always love meeting new like minded people, wherever that may take us. 

Orientation:

Bisexual/pansexual/queer and totally a kinksexual :) 

Favorite Lovely Fate Event:

So hard to choose just one! I of course love teaching at Shibari Nights, and the Surrender party fills my kinky soul, but the recent Wild West party allowed me to embody my Urban Cowgirl persona, which is how I’ve been known in the rope and kink scene for many years. Also sexy cowboys getting it on with other sexy cowboys and cowgirls??? Heated Rivalry meets Brokeback Mountain meets bisexual horse girls?? MORE PLEASE!!
