Strict doesn't mean unkind.

Being strict doesn't mean being unkind. One of the biggest misconceptions people seem to have about me, is because I am strict and firm, I must also be cold, impatient or permanently intimidating.


The reality is rather different.


Yes I have high standards. Yes, I expect manners, honesty and effort. Yes, I have little patience for individuals that ignore information which is freely available already, or those who expect instant and my full attention.


But strict and fair can exist together in this world.

In fact, I truly believe they should, and if they don't its a red flag.

I do not expect you to arrive and know everything. Dominants like you sub's are individual and have our own rules and ways of working.

Some of the best applicants I've met have been complete beginners to the world of D/s dynamics. They arrived full of nerves, unsure of themselves or me and full of questions. They left feeling confident, and with knowledge.


What made them stand out was not lack of experience. It was their honesty.


Honestly, away from the public -facing side of my website and my social media presence, I am still me. I am still human.

I enjoy conversation. I laugh. I even have a life outside my dungeon. Like the rest of the population, I have interests, responsibilities, and the occasional moment where life reminds me not to take it quite so seriously. Life is short and for living.


These facts do not diminish my authority. They me authentic.


Some people will actively seek a relentless and strict Mistress from the very first contact right through to the end of any session. Others prefer or benefit from a softer approach with guidance and patience as they grow in confidence.

I do not work from any scripts. I respond and work with the individual. You.


Because we are all different I embrace that fact, and it is why I insist on communication before any session or online training can begin.

It allows me to understand not only what you are seeking, but how I can create the most appropriate dynamic for us both. I need to know what you think you want, what your limits are and if we are suitable a match. It wont work if you book a Corporal Punishment session, if what you really want is Bondage for example.


Professional domination is about much more than, pain and PVC.

It is authenticity, maintaining standards and creating a safe environment, where trust develops naturally.

So yes, I am strict. I am also fair.

I value good manners and appreciate honesty.


I have patience for those willing to make an effort.


If and when you arrive you expect to meet a caricature of your perceived idea of me, you may well be surprised by the person you meet. The strongest authority does not come from being unapproachable.

It comes from being genuine.
