ABOUT ANNE
Anne is an experienced BDSM Educator. She has a Masters's degree in Comparative Art and Archaeology from UCL (University College London). She undertook her professional internship in a leading dungeon back in 2009, as well as additional tutorship by Dominatrices around the world, and is now regarded as a leading International teacher herself.
Her book 'The History & Arts of the Dominatrix' was researched over four years, quickly gained worldwide acclaim, and has been described as the 'Bible for Dominatrices'. It has been favorably reviewed by DDI Magazine (Domination Directory International), Massad Magazine, Leatherati, Library Journal Review, and by Dominatrices themselves.
The Dominatrix framework she developed, 'The Seven Realm Arts', covering the different practices of BDSM, has become the basis for training at dungeons around the world (including the world's oldest BDSM training chateau, La Domaine Esemar, four hours out of New York).
Anne has been teaching her framework as the Dominatrix Seven Realm Arts certificate course for five years now at Passionfruit in Melbourne. She also founded and hosts Villa Domme in Tuscany each year, a one-week course taught in a 19th Century Tuscan villa, and is also an International presenter at Oz Kink Fest each year.
TOPICS COVERED IN PRIVATE LESSONS
Anne tailors each lesson to the individual, and teaches across all areas and aspects of Dominatrix's arts, entwining both theories, psychology, and practice. Traditionally this meant that she was booked for private lessons by those wanting to learn and understand BDSM, helping couples and individuals learn different areas and understand their interests and how to put them into practice in their life.
Topics that are frequently requested include:
- Introduction to BDSM for beginners
- Consent, safeword, and negotiating limits
- Confidence building in the use of BDSM equipment
- Discussing BDSM and fetish interests, and identifying areas for exploration
- Managing masochists: the most challenging type of submissive / slave who likes to manipulate and top from the bottom, are easily frustrated and take it out on their Mistress partner/wife, who is typically left feeling as though they are on the back foot, or feel they are failing in their Dominance.
"How to" guidance for:
- Domination (taking the Dominant role, holding space, taking pleasure in "the want")
- submission (communicating limits and safewords, taking pleasure in servitude, and acquiescing)
- bondage, entrapment, and enclosure (rope bondage, leather, metal, chastity devices, and key holding)
- discipline, punishment, and training (authority, presentation, and positions, corporal punishment, spanking, flogging, paddles, and canes)
- bodily and out-of-body (taking in a wide variety of activities that emphasize bodiliness and out-of-body states of ecstasy
- cross-dressing and gender transformation (from feminization to maid-training, to full transformation)
- fetish and fantasy (this may be latex/rubber, fur, silk, cashmere, foot fetish, shoes, roleplay, and a wide range of fetishes and fantasies)
- Coaching and education into any aspect of BDSM, fetish, and the psychosexual realm with a highly knowledgable educator.
DOMINANT (LIFE) COACHING
Anne also uses her expertise, knowledge, and empathy to assist people in a range of areas of life for which they have intuited that her Dominatrix knowledge and her empathetic nature would be able to assist them. This has been used to aid their work, aspirations and goals, boundary-setting, interpersonal relationships, understanding of sexual desire, and self-acceptance.
Anne notes that her work does not substitute however for seeing a psychologist, doctor, or another professional, and she frequently recommends and refers people to see a professional within these fields as appropriate and outside of her own knowledge base and expertise.
Examples of her Dominant life coaching include:
- Helping coach mature adult children who have previously refused to leave home; to leave home, spread their wings, and fly. Anne aided a 40-year-old man still living at home with his mother, who hadn't worked in 18 years, to leave home, coach him through getting his first job in nearly two decades, and to map a career field and qualification plan which saw him apply for and qualify with a Masters degree with first-class honors and now has a well-paying job in his chosen field. Anne aided this process through Dominatrix tools of an open mind and large heart, non-judgment, probing questions, empathy, pushing out of comfort zone and into the stretch zone, the practice of facing and conquering fear, acknowledgment, and celebration of positive progress, visualization techniques of an expanded world and the appeals of self-mastery of one's life, and living one's desires. (To parents reading this, sugar works better than salt. Merely trying to push a child out by a deadline and threats typically works only to terrify them and have their grip tighter to their security blanket. Anne notes that she often finds there are factors at work such as autism spectrum or intellectual disabilities or other personality nuances which bring in other factors to why they're finding it so hard, with heightened sensitivities and fear to the world beyond their familiar childhood home, for which Anne has deep compassion and understanding of.)
- Helping coach people with past historic abuse and trauma (who have received extensive counseling and/or are inactive counseling concurrently) who want to learn the Dominatrix's tools of activity negotiation, informed consent, and boundary setting and enforcement, to aid them in developing healthy future relationships. Anne has aided several people in this area, with great sensitivity and with an emphasis on supporting the expression of their personal autonomy, empowerment, desire expression, careful vetting process of prospective partners, and to teach them to administer to their own self-care and self-love. She encourages them to step into the role of Creatrix / Mistress / Master of their own life and universe, from a position of empowerment and deep self-healing.
