galavanting

I'm a queer woman with 20 years' experience in the sexuality field, working across adult film production and performance, sugaring, BDSM service provision, sexuality education, advocacy, and writing. I currently provide BDSM services and support others to cultivate practices of BDSM, hedonism, and somatics as the founder and director of Hedon House, with locations in Sydney and Melbourne.

While my hard BDSM skills have been developed over the last 12 years through BDSM education, a traditional House apprenticeship, and thousands of hours of personal and professional play, my soft skills and my deep understanding of the use of body-based practices as tools for liberation, sublimation and self-exploration are what defines my practice. I am highly skilled at supporting others to help define exactly what they want to receive and how they'd like to receive it. To achieve this, I use a combination of verbal consultation, consent containers, lines of somatic inquiry, sensory experimentation, and a sharp read on your energetic and physical presentation in every moment (or communicating with you where that's not possible).

I can play with or without protocol, power exchange, or roleplay. Sometimes BDSM play is psychodrama, and other times it's a body-based practice. Sometimes it's both. We work together to discover and cultivate the best possible conditions for your surrender, and I facilitate session content within that container.

I am a one-way practitioner; this means that I'm the giver and you're the receiver. This being said, you'll get the most out of our time together when you bring your full self and clear intentions to our play.

I provide services to people of all genders and sexualities, and have experience providing gender-affirming services to people on the spectrum of trans experience. I have also completed the Touching Base PDAT training and am able to adapt to different physical abilities, sensory needs and other access requirements. My ethics and politics our queer, and this will be in the room with us when we play, regardless of your gender identity.

I currently practice on the lands of the Gadigal people in so-called Sydney and the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurring people in so-called Melbourne. I session primarily from my lovingly-crafted, comfortable and well-equipped Hedon House locations, but am open to providing services from other locations for those with access restrictions that preclude the use of either space.
