Shibari Sessions are a space where you would have a chance to explore the ropes, being tied by me. A chance to explore your curiousities, fears, desires, and to lean into the unknown. Each session is designed for the person entering the ropes based on their needs and desires. We will have a comprehensive discussion to co-create a session together. We will tune into the meaning. What is your intention? What is important to you?  Intention could be artistic, creative, sensual, therapeutic, somatic, communication exploration, kink...and more. 

I will share a general framework of what a session could look like:

A session is usually about three hours, with the option to have longer sessions. Within this timeframe, we open up with some time to drop in to conversation, checking in about how you are emotionally, your intention, and desires for the rope session.   We will go over safety (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) and boundaries together to build a container that feel supportive and aligned. We will also develop a check-in system for verbal or non-verbal communication. We will set the space and begin the rope session, tuning into the intention and mood of the session. The rope journey is usually about 1.5-2hrs, depending how the story is unfolding. In this exploration, allowing you to drop into your body, the sensations, and the experience to guide you to a deeper state of surrender. Everything is in the moment, a co-creation, moving through the experience, sensations, emotions, flow...like a dance.  I allow space for anything to come through the experience. That could be emotions, memories, pauses, adjustments.   This is your space to surrender, to feel, to experience.

As we move towards closing the session, there is the untying, the unravelling, and coming back to your body and the space. The ropes can alter your state of consciousness, making you feel floaty, deeply relaxed, and/or at peace.  Sometimes harder emotions can surface, every expression has a space to exist and we allow it and support the process how we need to.  Therefore, we give time to come back to the body and to have aftercare.  There is time afterwards to speak about your experience, to share anything you wish, and to process.  We check in a few days after to see how you are feeling.  Rope sessions can be hosted at various locations: be at my space, your space, or some other indoor/outdoor location. We plan the logistical parts before the session.   

That is a general summary.  Sessions with this kind of 1:1 framework start at $850-$1500. The price varies on duration of session, location, and style of session (meaning if tying additional people, couples explorations, mixing in additional teaching/experiences, photoshoots). The sessions are customized to you. Depending on location, the sessions can be hosted at my studio, your home, or a rental space (Airbnb, Hotel, Yoga Studio, Shibari Studio, ect) arranged by the client.

If a session is something you want to move towards, we book a 30 minute call. It is also nice to get to know each other and build some familiarity, also to talk about the session and your desires, allowing time for more depth about this. Bring your questions, concerns, and whatever is alive to the call.  In moving forward, I would send a Consent and Release Form, Questionnaire, and also Payment Deposit information.  Then we would get you in the books for a Shibari Session, a journey into the unknown!
