I began my rope journey in Phoenix, Arizona in 2012 eager to experience being tied. Shortly thereafter I moved to London, where much of my early rope learning happened. Upon moving back to the US, I began presenting at conferences and intensives around the country, while regularly returning to Europe to further my education. My career as a bondage practitioner, teacher, and performer grew alongside my career as a professional acrobat and movement specialist. As a circus artist I’ve trained extensively in partner acrobatics, aerial hoop. contortion, and hair hanging, and through these disciplines I’ve developed a keen sense of how to explore intensity in sustainable ways and what it means for two bodies to be in conversation with one another. I’ve studied shibari with top practitioners from Japan and Europe, while cultivating my own approach informed by my multi-disciplinary background.

I believe that kink is inherently political, and I strive to bring my politics, my values, and an accountability for those values into my teaching spaces. Imprint Studio — a one-woman, queer-owned and operated studio space — can be found in downtown Northampton, MA, on Pocumtuck land.
