As a Hypno-Shibari Artist and Soft Dom, I weave the art of Shibari with the depth of hypnosis to create transformative, kinky and healing experiences. I spend my time exploring the delicate balance of power, impact and tenderness, always seeking new ways to connect deeply with others. Friends describe me as an "iron glove in a velvet glove"—firm yet tender. Passionate about unlocking inner potential and fostering self-discovery, I am on a journey of constant learning and profound connection.

rinatrevi
BDSM, Coach & Massage
Female, Bisexual, Austin TX US
In person & Online
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.

What is Shibari?
Tying the knot never sounded better.
Shibari (meaning 'to tie' in Japanese) is a form of Japanese bondage art that involves tying and restraining a person using intricate and decorative patterns of rope. Today it is often a popular activity within the world of BDSM. In BDSM, Shibari practitioners, sometimes referred to as 'riggers' or 'rope artists' derive pleasure not only from the artistic side of shibari but also from seeing their partner tied up- just as the person being tied (the 'model' or the 'bottom') derives sexual pleasure from being restrained.
What makes it hot?
Shibari has gained more attention in the Western world for it’s aesthetic beauty. It’s seen by many as a very tasteful form of BDSM, with the ties and the images of people tied thought to be beautiful, and strikingly elegant. The careful process of Shibari can also be a tantalising sexual build for both the rigger and the model.
Shibari emphasiSes both restraint and artistic expression, setting it apart from more utilitarian forms of bondage.
Safety is crucial. Beginners should start with basic ties, attend workshops, and prioritise communication. Always have safety shears on hand to quickly cut the rope if needed, and regularly check the bound person's circulation.
Shibari can be both sensual and artistic. The process of tying and being tied fosters a unique intimacy. Practitioners often focus on creating beautiful and comfortable ties that enhance the overall sensory experience.

DO
Learn your stuff: Be it through workshops or online tutorials, Shibari takes a lot of work.
Respect the model: They are also an important part of the creative process. Listen to them and don’t push their boundaries.
Practise with a pro: Try Shibari with somebody experienced in the practice.
DON'T
Go in hard: Start with easier knots before shooting for the crazy stuff.
Assume that the vibe is sexual: Shibari isn’t always associated with BDSM.
Share without consent: Don't share any photos or videos of your work without consent of the model.
