Educator | Coach | Performer | Student
Rope is more than learning patterns and tying knots. It is about understanding how and why things work, developing skills with intention, and building the confidence to make informed decisions. With years of experience as a rope educator, I offer practical, individualized instruction that helps you move beyond following patterns to developing a deeper understanding of your rope practice.
Whether you are just beginning or refining advanced skills, I offer private lessons, progressive learning, and tailored tying experiences designed around your interests, abilities, and goals. My approach recognizes both members of the tying pair as active participants, with an emphasis on communication, collaboration, and shared responsibility. At my discreet space in Portland, Oregon, you'll find an inclusive environment where questions are encouraged, creativity is welcomed, and learning continues beyond a single session.
You can find me on social media through the links in the menu and at the bottom of each page.
