Shibari Teaching


My approach to shibari has evolved through 18 years of practice on both sides of the ropes, giving me the perspective to teach in a way that is empathetic to both tying partners.

I offer private lessons, workshops, and regular group classes both in Berlin, and internationally.

Tying Sessions

My shibari sessions are an experience of sustained attention - being held, watched over, and responded to - slowly and with care. Sessions are shaped around you: your body, your experience, and what you want from the time.

Whether you’re new to rope or experienced, all are welcome.
