Welcome, curious visitors

Initiatrix

Welcome to my witchy corner of the internet!  I’m originally from California, and I’ve been told my roots show.  My mom’s side is French, and I grew up traveling to Europe to visit family—a formative experience in my younger years to which I credit much of my curious, wanderlusting spirit.  

Over the last few years, my wanderlusting brought me to Toronto, where I carved out a little home for myself as an educator, artist, and professional companion in alternative lifestyle spaces.  This work, combined with my years of consultancy in professional learning & development, yoga instruction, and holistic wellness; all lend powerful insights to my coaching, well as a deep sense of comfort and confidence in my touch-based and erotic dealings.

If you’re privy to any of my work with the Allegra Collective, you may know me as Mistress of Duality.  That’s because I lean wholeheartedly into the vast range of human experience—pleasure and pain, whimsy and morbidity, yin and yang, tangible and intangible.  I appreciate soft sensualism and daring roughness with equal zeal, and I relish some brash disregard for the status quo as much as I value the primacy of safe, nourishing environments (ask me about my container theories).

In my work with clients, this approach means I have the capacity to hold all kinds of people through all kinds of experiences.  No matter what type of session you book, my goal is help get you to a place of deeper connection and trust with your inner “Fuck yes!”

Praxis

For as long as I can remember, I have been hungry to learn about the world and how people exist in it.  I love to travel, to read about historical and imaginary places, and immerse myself in foreign languages and cultures.  I am endlessly fascinated by the systems and patterns that make people… well, people.

At first, this led me down a more cerebral path. I studied language, literature, and the constant feedback loop between art, culture, and politics.  I got my Master’s in program evaluation and policy review.  I became a consultant and professional trainer—examining systems and incentives to help companies meet their goals.

I liked it.  I enjoyed the puzzle.  I relished the challenge.

But mostly I liked helping people, and I missed being in my body.  I wanted to stretch, dance, sing, move; and I wanted to spend my time helping individuals rather than companies.  I wanted to listen to the witchy, hedonistic creature inside me who learns and loves to be in the world through her body.

And somehow it became simple: the cerebral and the somatic are just two sides of the same coin.  

I had studied personal wellness as part of my Master’s, studied anatomy and the nervous system as part of yoga teacher training, spent years coaching people in intimacy and power exchange without ever calling it a job, and then I worked as a sex/kink educator before I ever worked with private clients.

It feels natural (albeit unusual) that my work now combines those physical and intellectual sides of myself.  I unravel how and why people experience the ocean of human intimacy, companionship, or power exchange the way they do, and I help them navigate those waters better than they could on their own.

Mythos

A siren makes a sexy villain.  She tempts the unwitting traveler with her obvious beauty, her enchanting song… and the promise of untold secrets.  If heard, what will the song reveal?  Why lure someone to their doom?

I’ve always felt drawn to classical mythology and the Greek pantheon—a cast of characters whose extraordinary power is matched only by their stunning imperfection.  Ancient Greek myths and legends are rife with violence, oppression, betrayal…and yet they teach us about beauty, compassion, pleasure, and justice.

The siren is no different.  The most common interpretation is that she represents temptation toward lust and greed over integrity and discipline.  But the stories of my childhood taught me something important: people are complex, and something magical happens when we accept the breadth and depth of our complexity.

What if you misjudged the siren?  What if her reason for existing weren’t reduced to a test of willpower?  I think her invitation runs deeper—the siren song asks you to listen to your deepest desires, yes.  But you still get to choose where you go from there.

The mythology tells us that the sailors are too weak hear this truth without panicking into self-destruction.

I think we can do more for each other than that; I love working in that liminal space—between where you are and where you want to be—and perhaps even daring you to imagine what lies beyond.

I take pleasure and fulfillment in helping my clients meet themselves, whether it’s simply sharing a hedonistic tryst, guiding them through a more uncharted experience, or reaching for a deeper negotiation with power, identity, and sensuality.
