Where Shadow Work Meets Sacred Embodiment

Power. Pleasure. Pain. Purpose.

Here, we stand at the intersection of mental health, kink, and somatic practice, offering transformative approaches that move beyond talk therapy. Through embodiment, power dynamics, and consent-driven work, we help individuals and professionals reclaim their relationship with self and create space for deeper integration.

Stay Stimulated: Reflections from the Edge

The Cost of Kink – Who Really Gets to Play?

Why Academia Needs More Kink-Inclusive Research

Academia has long ignored or misrepresented kink and BDSM, reinforcing stigma instead of expanding understanding. For too long, research has either pathologized these practices or treated them as a curiosity rather than a legitimate area of study. This does not just...

The Future of Kink Professionalism is Here: Announcing KPSA & CPKP

Bankable and Broken

Black women are out here doing the damn thang! They are running fortune 500 comapanies, they are creating new businessess, they are breaking financial curses, they are creating generational wealth, and they are burning out. They are dealing with chronic illness,...

Generational Curses-Part 1

Healing, what does that mean? To heal? To me, it has meant different things at different times. It looked like tackling what I had the capacity to face at any given moment. Before I could deal with my rage, hate, and bitterness I first had to address my lack of...
