I teach Shibari in Stockholm and online. My work brings together rope, movement and a question I keep returning to: how do we stay in contact with ourselves while meeting someone else?
How I came to this work
When I found the BDSM community in 2016, I began questioning what it meant to lead and to receive. Confidence did not arrive all at once. Through rope, art and dance, I found ways of leading that did not depend on pretending to be someone else. Meditation and tantra also changed my relationship with attention. I had not expected those practices to become part of my life. They did, and they continue to influence how I teach.
I am interested in the moments when the experience departs from the idea we had of it. You wanted to relax, but find yourself laughing. You thought you wanted to receive, but discover an appetite for leading. I make room for those discoveries without treating them as problems to solve. The craft matters to me because it gives curiosity a form we can practise, question and refine.
My background is in fine art and social work, and I am currently studying psychology. Dance, movement, meditation, tantra and years of rope practice have also shaped my teaching. I distinguish formal qualifications from personal practice and continued study. My psychology studies are ongoing, and my rope sessions are not psychotherapy.
I want you to understand what you are doing, not only reproduce a shape. I explain the reasoning behind a technique, give you time to practise, and invite questions that may seem too small to ask. Bodies differ. So do histories, preferences and ways of learning. I pay attention to those differences rather than expecting everyone to have the same experience.
I welcome conversations about rope, consent, sensuality, embodiment and the relationship between craft and communication. If you are planning an interview, podcast or article, tell me about your audience, the subject and the format you have in mind.
You can write with a question about a course, an idea for hosting a workshop, or something you are not yet sure how to ask. A few honest lines are enough. I will help you understand the next step.
