Why Should You Get Tied Up?

In this practice, you will have the opportunity to practice consent, communication, and surrender while learning about yourself and your body.

When In Rope is for you if you are curious about exploring:

Submission and surrender
Mindfulness and body awareness
Somatic release
Masculine/feminine, Shiva/Shakti, Yin/Yang energies

More About Chris

Praise for When In Rope

"Chris' ability to curate experiences for me based on my own needs, desires, abilities, and boundaries is invaluable to me as a trauma survivor. When in a session, I am physically and emotionally held in a safe, supportive, therapeutic environment that is absolutely transformative. The incredible level of skill and care that is woven into a session with them allows me to instantly feel calmer, less anxious, more secure, and mindfully present both in, and out of rope. ”
Praise for When In Rope

“After our 1st session, I was astonished at how quiet my mind stayed afterwards, which then allowed me to really listen and absorb deep feelings of gratitude and appreciation for my body, and all I am capable of. Everyone should be so lucky to experience themselves in Chris’ tender care.”
Praise for When In Rope

“Experiencing rope bondage with When In Rope has been cathartic, empowering, and nothing short of transformational. I feel more in touch with and appreciative of my body than I have in a long time.”
