Shibari is a traditional Japanese art form that involves the intricate and artistic tying of ropes around the body. Originally developed as a form of erotic bondage, it has evolved into a broader practice encompassing artistic expression, meditation, and a celebration of the beauty of the human form.
a Shibari artist, educator, and performer, and the founder of Voudou Ropes, a brand devoted to making rope art accessible, expressive, and deeply connective.
With years of experience exploring shibari across different cultures, including extensive time in Japan, I blend traditional Japanese techniques with a modern, artistic approach to rope.
My style focuses on creating moments of connections through rope, creating beauty while provoking emotion, sensual rope play, self-tying techniques, and adding movement and breath to rope.
I believe that shibari is not just about technique but about presence, emotion, self-love and creativity.
My workshops and online courses are designed to help students - from complete beginners to experienced riggers - gain confidence, develop their own style, and explore the transformative power of rope.
