The erotic is an art form and traineeships are rare

Private Mentoring: Calling sex workers, pro dominants and others who seek erotic mastery - or should I say mistressy.


Honestly, I would have given my eye teeth for this opportunity!

But to be fair, that is because Navigating the Erotic Psyche is designed to cater to exactly the things I love most, and are simply not available elsewhere. I designed it with younger me in mind. I asked myself, what would have supported me the most in learning the inner workings of the erotic psyche? And, how could I be supported to turn the potent nuances of our bizarre and wonderful internal landscapes into embodied sexual experiences and play?

Sex workers-only spaces are full of generous, savvy, incredibly skilled individuals and I owe so very much to other sex workers for showing me the way when I first started. My deep respect for the complex underground networks of support and peer training and those kind enough to let me into their BDSM scenes to observe. I learned so much from you!

But there was something I wasn't able to get from those spaces, or from the various trainings I took from brilliant and wise sexperts around the world.

So I had to figure it out myself and create a framework and system of working out the unique wiring of each client. I made an art form of creating tailored experiences just for them and watched them unfold into layers of themselves they had previously not known existed - while also often entering into some pretty damn amazing states of consciousness myself!

Mistress Artemisia is the most extraordinary Domme it has ever been my privilege to submit to in twenty-five years of active BDSM play. She saw me, and heard me, in a way that is hard to describe, and She used what She saw and heard to create an experience that I wouldn't have known to ask for but was exactly what I needed. She is truly expert at the skills of her craft. - Stanley Badlad UK

This is not to say that other extraordinary pro dommes are not also creating and experiencing these things. It is just that no one was teaching it. Not like this. Not in a way that specifically focused on a break down of the key elements in each person's unique erotic wiring and using them as the personalised map to various sexual states of consciousness.

So while I am not offering a traditional traineeship, I am offering to teach the magic behind the curtain that makes sexual experiences and/or BDSM scenes have wings.

I am extremely honored to be mentoring international sex workers and pro dominants into this body of work. I feel humbled to be trusted by some truly advanced and skilled peers to share my knowledge. I also thoroughly enjoy showing newbies what I know. As I said it would have made the world of difference if I had access to this when I first started. Or even when I was much further along.

“If you are considering more kink education, this stuff is next level. I’ve taken classes, workshops and privates all over the US and Canada, and rarely can I recommend instructors this highly. 
Also, if you like Betty Martin’s work, this is adjacent, or for some, is a next step.”
Catherine Control

So here it is.

This is your invitation to be mentored into directly experiencing these functions of the erotic psyche for yourself.

And the skills needed to create this level of experience for others.

Calling those who get aroused by things that go against their everyday characters, identity, and even self worth. Just like our fairytales, woven through the human erotic psyche are themes of power abuse, revenge, humiliation and violence. And just like fairytales, these sexual fantasies play an important psychological function. When we are unaware of their function they leak into our everyday behaviour and into our sexual encounters in wobbly, unconscious, and sometimes harmful ways. What is...

Do you want to understand, and experience, the psychology behind sexual fantasies and how to play with them on purpose? If you are anything like me, the dominant models attempting to explain sexual fantasies just don't cut it. Most frameworks say something like: 1. "Sexual fantasies are private, and harm no one. They are your brain's way of making you feel good. Therefore, don't judge them and just enjoy them." Really? You want me to not think about them? That's your solution? But I want to...
