About

Rope and Breath is an approach to power exchange and sensual exploration. Over the past few years, I have found surprising intersections among the many practices I love. Rope and Breath is my ongoing experiment in weaving them together—to create something greater than the sum of its parts. The backdrop of shibari and power exchange is deepened by a focus on the present moment, embodiment, energetic transfer, and mystery.
