I didn’t grow up with love—I grew up in control.
Raised in a cult and horrifically abused, I entered adulthood deeply traumatized, dissociated, and unsure if healing was even possible.
That changed in 2020 when I attended my first play party. I thought I was just being curious—but what I found was liberation. It was the first time I saw consent in action, boundaries being honored, and bodies moving with agency. Kink showed me that I had a choice. That my body belonged to me. And that power, when exchanged with intention, could be sacred.
Since then, kink has become both a spiritual practice and a lifeline. In 2022, I launched Dahlier, a sensual wellness brand rooted in embodiment, erotic empowerment, and radical self-reclamation. I’ve been a sex worker for over a decade, and that work has given me an intimate education in trauma, desire, shame, and healing. I’ve held space for people’s most vulnerable truths—and in the process, I learned how to hold space for my own.
Now, as a somatic sexologist, I guide others back to their bodies. My work weaves kink, education, and somatics into tools for people—especially those with traumatic pasts—to reclaim pleasure, reconnect with their truth, and build safety from the inside out.
Because embodiment isn’t just personal—it’s political.
And no one is too broken to begin again.
