Private Shibari Sessions

1112-DSC_5865.jpg

What to expect in a 1:1 session

In a private Shibari session you can fully let go and enjoy the art of surrendering and receiving. It can be a deeply healing and nurturing experience. 

 

We focus on self-development and growth, where you receive a unique opportunity to connect to your body in a pleasurable way, feeling your sensations and your sense of self. 

 

Through the art of Shibari, individuals can transform inner blockages and find a deeper sense of self-worth and self-love. This session is held in a trauma-sensitive and non-sexual space. The focus lies within consent and individuals are encouraged to access and express their emotions. Once the fundamental trust is established, BDSM elements can flow into the practice if desired. 

​

Firstly, we'll have a talk about your boundaries and intentions. You can voice specific wishes to make it an unique experience for you. The after-care will help you to integrate the experience fully into your system.

Embracing Connection

Sustainable Transformation

Real transformation happens over time. To receive the full therapeutic benefits of a 1:1 session, I recommend longer containers, so we can establish a relationship of trust to go beyond the surface and work with the root. I recommend 1-2 sessions a month. Get in contact if you choose multiple sessions.

Massage Therapist & Shibari Practitioner

Elise

I'm Elise, a holistic bodyworker offering massages, sound healing, and shibari sessions. Touch has always been my love language. I studied Ayurveda and Tantra in India and Sri Lanka, and discovered sound healing in Nepal, falling in love with its ability to retune the nervous system through harmonics. Introduced to Shibari by Bina, I began using ropes as a meditative tool. My approach releases emotional blockages stored in the body, initiating a healing process that restores vitality. Conscious Tantric Massage Experience a transformative journey of connection and mindfulness. Through flowing sensual strokes and rhythms inspired by the four elements, you'll enter a blissful state, awakening your senses and allowing energy to flow freely. This session invites you to embrace your sensations, release blockages, and rediscover your life force in a safe and nurturing space. Shibari & Tantric Massage Session Explore the unique fusion of Shibari and Tantric massage, blending rope artistry with intentional touch. This session balances tension and relaxation, fostering trust, connection, and emotional release. Discover the beauty of vulnerability and the power of mindful connection. Shibari & Sound Healing Session Immerse yourself in the harmony of Shibari and sound healing. As ropes gently embrace your body, the resonant sounds of singing bowls and gongs create a calming atmosphere for deep relaxation and emotional release. This session harmonizes body, mind, and spirit, leaving you refreshed and renewed.

What is not part of a session?

There are no sexual interactions between the client and me and there is no nudity. You can be in your underwear, if you like the sensation of the ropes directly on the skin. We focus more on self-development, gaining consciousness on our patterns, finding new ways to connect to our bodies and emotions, learning how to surrender and trust, explore where our boundaries are, growth and self-love.

What is special about Bina's approach?

Bina's approach to conscious Shibari stands out for its emphasis on values, such as consent, trauma-sensitivity and self-development. She creates a welcoming and respectful environment, where individuals can deepen their relationships with themselves and their partners. Bina's approach is unique, as it comes from a background of tantra rather than BDSM, which prioritizes authenticity, emotional openness and connection. Her practice is focused on self-discovery and empowerment. Shibari can promote healing and finding a higher purpose. The art of surrender and healthy leadership can be transferred from the workshop space to the personal life, as there are many similar life topics. Her approach is trauma-informed, which promotes healing and self-discovery. Bina's community is unique, as it fosters meaningful connections and the feeling of belonging to a tribe. Individuals are encouraged to live their truth and find direction in their lives, while exploring the depths of intimacy and connection. Bina's offerings provide a space for emotional expression, self-love and personal growth. The space invites to transform blockages, release limiting beliefs and find their inner power and purpose, leading to a more fulfilling life. Her soft approach to Shibari ensures that individuals feel safe, seen and are able to experience the full range of life with authenticity and love. 

Why I do shibari

When I practice Shibari in a private session...

I believe that my practice is about so much more than just tying ropes. It's about creating a transformative experience for my partners, that involves holding a nurturing space, where they can explore their emotions, sensations and desires. A Shibari session can be a microcosm, where old patterns and beliefs from the real life surface. I help people to transform these in a guided container. Additionally, Shibari may help people to accept and appreciate their bodies in new ways, which can be a powerful form of self-love. I also encourage my partners to connect to their own sensuality and find moments of pleasure and intimacy within themselves. Ultimately, my practice is all about creating a beautiful and transformative experience for my rope partners, where they feel held, nurtured and supported as they explore their innermost selves. Individuals, who have been tied by me, expressed to having felt seen, valued and loved.
