FAQ

Shibari is inherently dangerous. Any practice of it that you do on your time is your responsibility regardless of whether tying or being tied. You can read my liability waiver at the bottom of the website.

All participants are expected to read the liability waiver in detail, and one will always be provided each session and critical points will be gone over. Each session type has a different waiver.

I will always be messaging a close friend to check in on me by a certain time when servicing. I recommend that you do the same. I will also ask you to put down an emergency contact # on the waiver. I also require that relevant medical history is disclosed to me, especially surgeries, blood-altering medication, and heart conditions. No Shibari is worth injury or death! Please be entirely honest.

I request that your location is fairly clean and offers enough space. If you can spread out while lying down and not fear hitting your head that is likely enough space. No children can be present and I ask that pets are put where they will not distract. For tutoring I advise that lessons are done indoors. If done outdoors, I strongly advise that some degree of shade is easily accessible. A shade that can be easily reached from a hobbled mobility.

The deposit will be retained, you don’t have to pay for another deposit as long as it is before 24hrs from scheduled session.

While loose clothing does come with the possibility of pinching, I am able to tie over any kind of clothing quite easily. I do ask that you do wear clothes, and that Jewelry worn is limited. Do keep in mind that clothes will change the experience. I recommend you just wear what you are comfortable with. I do request those with male genitalia wear something loose though please! I understand that blood flow is not something entirely controllable.

An absolute must is a water bottle filled, preferably one with a straw. It is also good to have a fan on hand if there is no A/C. Keep in mind that extreme heat and Shibari can be incredibly tiring, during periods of extreme heat I require that it is done in an air conditioned space!

My service is based from the South Bay, travel past give or take 100 miles round trip (Think from San Jose to San Francisco) will require additional cost.

Its for the best you wait for it to heal. If you endure a injury I will retain the deposit and you are welcome to reschedule at anytime.

Not under alcohol, recreational substance, or mind altering medicine.

No.

I believe anything is negotiable, always feel free to ask me anything.

I am biased toward natural-fibre based ropes, but some people can have skin reactions to them. I am sensitive to hays and grass but hemp does not bother my skin. I think the factor important to this is how it is treated. Posh Rope is a good synthetic alternative.

Not unless/until I can assess that your skill as one binding / bound is well enough.

Not necessarily, but it is important to remember that Shibari can certainly create very strong emotions. As a beginner it is up to you to communicate what you do not feel comfortable trying and I can absolutely adjust for it. Please do not feel obligation to do more than what you are capable of!

Do not pressure anyone to try Shibari, if I get the sense that participating parties are not consenting the session will be ended.

Not beyond a recent iPhone.

I much prefer doing partial suspensions, and will not do a suspension unless having had at least one session beforehand.

No.

I will do outdoor locations that are mostly out of sight.
