Safety and security
My primary goal is to introduce shibari to as many people as possible, and to aid that goal I have studied and developed several ties that are incredibly safe, comfortable, and beautiful. Most of my models have told me that the rope actually feels very calming to them, like a form of acupressure.
I want you to have the best possible experience with shibari. Shibari is a celebration of the divine feminine's surrender and the divine masculine's authority. Getting tied up by somebody requires putting a lot of trust in someone else's hands.
Here are some important things to understand when working with me or any other shibari artist.
Guaranteeing your safety and security is a two-person job.
I will bring my knowledge of this art and the inherent risks involved.
I want you to feel empowered to voice any physical, mental, or emotional distress.
