Background
Domination is not only my chosen profession, but is foremost a personal passion. My interest in erotic dominance began with curiosity from looking at fetish photography, then further developed when I was introduced to BDSM in an intellectual context. When I first read about BDSM I was very attracted to the possibilities that the context enables one to play with power, gender, and language. After engaging in my first scene I discovered my attraction to BDSM was not purely intellectual, but I also found it incredibly satisfying to express my dominance in an erotic context.

Style and Approach
Stylistically I am an intuitive and nurturing dominant, and a compassionate and playful sadist. I enjoy sensually expressing my dominance, as much as I enjoy tormenting masochists. Being dominant is not simply the role that I play, but I am authentically myself as I express my dominant disposition in a scene. My demeanor ranges from firm and formal, to warm and deviously cordial.

Central to my approach is the idea of power exchange. Fundamental to exchanging power is to acknowledge that not only does the dominant have power, but so does the submissive. As an individual begins to exchange power with me, they consent to submit to my direction, and I accept the responsibility of guiding that individual's training within the boundaries that have been negotiated. My particular interests are varied, but what I enjoy most is the psychological exchange that occurs in a BDSM scene.

Experience
I have been conducting professional domination sessions in Portland, Oregon since 2002. My style, skills, and level of professionalism have developed with time. My continued growth as a Domme has been furthered by critically reflecting on both my professional and personal BDSM exchanges. While I have been actively expressing my dominance for several years now, my education in kink is a continuing process.

Education
My knowledge of BDSM has been developed from several complementary sources. I have attended workshops on S/m skills, D/s relationships, and rope bondage. I have also taken private instructional classes on specific forms of BDSM play. In addition I have read a wide range of books on various BDSM topics. I engage in dialogue with other professional Dommes, and share insights into our unique profession. Furthermore I have educated myself on the possible physical and psychological safety concerns specific to BDSM play. I am also Red Cross certified in First Aid, and CPR.

My academic background is interdisciplinary. I have a B.S. in Sociology, and a minor in Philosophy. I also have taken several courses in Gender Studies. My education laid the foundation for me to challenge normative conceptions of sexuality, and opened my mind to all possibilities of safe, sane, and consensual sexuality.
