BIOGRAPHY

I am an artist; the human body, my favorite medium. I am often asked how I became a dominatrix. To fully answer that question, I have to dig into some of my earliest memories. My mother is a devout Catholic; I spent 12 years in parochial schools, and the passion and ritual of Catholicism infused my daily life as a girl. I spent most morning at Mass, staring at the crucifix . The continual contemplation of a beautiful male body in obvious pain must have set something in motion in my mind.

My Catholic upbringing instilled in me the following: Pain is educational, the end result of pain and suffering is redemption, and it is possible to achieve a state of spiritual enlightenment through mortification of the flesh. Our American culture is obsessed with the cessation of pain. But the deliberate application of easily moderated sensation can teach us more about our bodies and our bodily limitations. It can also encourage us to stretch beyond what we thought was possible.

With so few formal rites of passage in our culture, BDSM allows us to create ritual and make our lives more meaningful. My move to San Francisco has given me a community of like-minded individuals to play with. I spent my early adulthood playing privately, and am still an active member of the local SM community. I began my practice as a professional dominatrix in 1998. In 2002, my skills and expertise brought me a position on the teaching staff of Cleo DuBois' Academy of SM Arts.

My play is limited by a few guidelines. I never engage in play that is directly sexual, illegal, unsafe, or non-consensual. I carefully negotiate each scene to make sure that I, as well as my submissives, get exactly what we need out of the experience. I am an equal opportunity player; whether you are woman, man, trans, bi, queer, dyke, questioning, curious, exploring or experimenting, I invite you to consult with me to make your kinky fantasies reality.
