A women’s class to be in empowered & embodied in surrender with ropes
No tying experience necessary. No partner needed.
Discover practices in somatic softening, nervous system tracking, and vulnerability that cast the magic spell of trance in Shibari!
Become your own source for that spell-binding experience of Shibari from every rope enthusiasts’ dreams! Whether your rigger is novice or highly skilled, you hold the power to make any Shibari experience what you desire it to be. This class is designed for bottoms who love to be tied, are ready to own their experience fully, and step into the art of potent co-creation with their rigger.
To move the experience from performance, art, or technique and into intimate, palpable aliveness, we explore questions like “how do I get out of my head and more fully in my body?” Then we discover the forms of feedback that transform back-seat bunny into sensual, sovereign Shibari mama. We’ll also get behind and under “why” you want to be tied so you can embody the full person you are inside those ropes! Bottom’s presence is the raw, wet clay, so let’s get ourselves soft, moldable, and attuned to co-creating that special state that whisks you both away!

Founder, Feminine Touch Medicine
Christiana, MSW provides administrative coordination and educational services for Bound Studio, specializing in power dynamics of top-bottom intimacy. Outside of this role, she is the founder of Feminine Touch Medicine, where she serves as a life guide, somatic coach, and intimacy specialist.
Christi has been tying and playing with rope since before she learned Shibari. In early 2025, she trained under Rina Trevi in vulnerable, connective tying & fell in love with the ritual, somatically rich potential of rope practice. With her mental health and bodywork background, ropes became an obvious tool for deepening somatic processing and enriching the field of intimacy available in tender, vulnerable connections. She earned her graduate degree in Social Work from University of Pennsylvania in 2015. She is a mother of one!
