rinatrevi

My name is Rina Trevi, and I'm a vulnerability and intimacy coach. I create safe spaces for healing, self-discovery, and spiritual exploration. I'm a former professional Dominatrix, and now I focus on Shibari—the Japanese art of tying—as well as tantric bodywork, specifically the Sacred Feminine Touch Ceremony. I'm based in Austin, TX, but I travel extensively.

I love to offer both educational and ceremonial journeys, as well as tuitions, workshops and retreats:

- Empowered Surrender Journeys (Shibari, Power Exchange, Sensation Play)
- Sacred Feminine Touch Ceremony (Yoni/Lingam Massage, Tantric Bodywork, Ceremonial Journey)
- Experiential Retreats & Certification Trainings for Women (https://suhai.world)
- Intimacy Coaching (https://www.vulnerabilitycoaching.com)
- Intimately Tied—Shibari Retreats (https://www.intimatelytied.com)
- Underline World—Tantric BDSM online course (https://underline.world)
- I create safe spaces for people to fall apart. It's in the falling apart, in the messiness, that we find our way to healing and wholeness. I know this because I've lived it and witnessed this transformation in countless humans I've worked with.

But it wasn’t always this way for me. I grew up in post-Soviet Russia, where secrets and silence defined my childhood. I felt completely out of place, like a misfit. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t conform to my family’s culture, and my body let me know it. I felt sick, depressed, and utterly alone.

I wasn’t going to live that way, so I jumped. I knew I needed an entirely different kind of existence, so—just like in The Matrix—I became a 'Matrix Jumper.'

My first 'matrix' after leaving Russia was the American Dream. I lived in DC, earned an MBA, and worked my way into a corporate finance job. But after a while, my body let me know it was time for another change, when I would fall asleep in the middle of the day and cry all night.

I knew there were options. I could numb myself into accepting that this was my life, like my alcoholic father and countless others, or I could jump again. So I jumped.

This time, I embraced the unknown. I traveled throughout the U.S., then to Thailand and India, learning about alternative ways of healing.

I connected with myself and found a kind of freedom I never knew existed. I wanted to share it with the world, and now I do. After many years as a professional dominatrix in NYC and learning the sacred art of Shibari, I am now focused on coaching others toward transformation and healing through various modalities of vulnerability.

Though my body loudly led the way for me, we can all find our path to healing, wellness, and bliss.
