Do you want to feel more comfortable in your power, more confident being in charge, and better able to set clear boundaries?
POWER & PRESENCE is a three month embodiment journey and mentorship programme for people who are interested in exploring Ethical Dominance, whether that's for the purpose of engaging in D/s play or more broadly building a healthier relationship with power in their lives.
I believe we ALL have the capability to step into Dominance in a way that is authentic. If you don't feel that you fit into the box of a stereotypical Dom or Dominatrix, don't let that hold you back! The world needs more people who can wield power responsibly in their own unique way.
My style of Dominance draws upon what’s already within me - you might like to think of these as traits, desires, archetypes, or energies.
In order to tap into this ability, it is essential to do our own inner work first before we try to influence others. That includes, amongst other things, looking at where you have blocks, shame, resistance, unmet desires, and the strategies you use to get what you want.
The programme
What I share in this programme is the outcome of two decades on my own personal journey from people pleaser to Professional Dominant.
I share openly about my own personal (good, bad, and ugly) experiences with kink, how my non-kinky parts of life have influenced me greatly, and the challenges of this work that nobody told me about.
The focus of my teaching is on creating a space for us to experiment and have embodied experiences of power.
Learning happens through a combination of theory, embodied enquiries, core skills practice, demonstrations, and group sharing. Included in the programme are two bonus classes with guest facilitators who will bring in some additional, special expertise!
This is a programme that supports us in becoming a whole, integrated human rather than simply teaching the “technical skills” of kink. It's less about the activities we do and more about having the ability to change our own state and invite others to do the same through our presence, embodiment, and language.
The structure is designed to provide you with ongoing support as you learn to embrace and integrate the different parts of yourself that might be called upon to empower you.
My work is influenced by the Wheel of Consent, conscious kink, archetypes, the psychology of dominance and submission, some aspects of Sexological Bodywork, unpicking implicit and conditioned power dynamics, and skills that I've been taught and have gone on to develop such as verbal domination.
What's included
Mentees will have access to the programme for 3 months, which includes:
TWELVE online group sessions via Zoom. These are usually between 90 and 120 minutes long and each focuses on a different topic, with space to ask questions and share experiences
Weekly home practice - you will receive weekly prompts for research, self-reflection, or practical exercises, which will deeply enrich your learni
Community - you will have the option to join a private group chat with other mentees where you can share the outcomes of your weekly home practice, receive input from me and your other peers, build connections with others, and find people to practice with!
One in-person gathering - at the end of the programme, we will come together to put our learning into practice, deepen the embodiment aspects, and celebrate our progress! This will be a day-long workshop and will take place in the North West of England.

The next programme will begin on Tuesday 18th April 2023.
Weekly home practices will be sent out via the group forum every Wednesday.

There will also be an option to add extra 1-to-1 sessions with me online or in-person at a discounted rate while the programme runs, as some current mentees have found this really helpful.
