A change in pressure.
A movement you did not expect.
The moment you realise you would like something different.
I teach rope as a way to notice these things, and respond in a way that deepens connection.
Shibari is a rope practice with Japanese roots. In my classes, you learn tying alongside touch, movement and communication. Sensual Shibari is the name I give this approach: paying attention to how rope feels and how the people practising respond to each other.
Embodiment means noticing what you feel in your body and using that information when you choose what to do next. During rope practice, you might notice a held breath, the wish to move closer or pressure you would like changed. I help you put those observations into words so your partner can respond.
I teach rope and offer guided tying experiences. Before a session, we agree on the roles, welcome touch and boundaries. My background includes fine art and social work, and I am currently studying psychotherapy. Rope sessions are educational or experiential; for psychotherapy or medical care, please contact a qualified practitioner.
