“I love to be tied and in Sophia I found not only someone that enjoys tying up people but someone that does it so well, our first time meeting started with some chatting and getting to understand what I was hoping to get out of our time together and whilst I am not always the best at saying what I want Sophia really understood me.

I had the most amazing experience, if you have ever had an interest in rope bondage I would highly recommend Sophia as the person to start your journey with.”

“Sophia’s portfolio is its own testament to her technical expertise but like what make good artists stand apart is they don’t just do but they feel what they do. Sophia has the ability to read and interpret unspoken indicators as the session progresses. However, Sophia’s aura she personifies enables me to totally let go and surrender to the ropes in total trust.

There is an irony to find being tied gains release, to be suspended help give grounding and to feel safe and vulnerable at the same time. Ropes are only half the story, technical knowledge is essential, but ambience Sophia creates and her ability to read the situation as it evolves is essential to reach the heights but also importantly to safely return.

Plus, as art, it looks pretty damn amazing!!!”

“Thank you very much for fulfilling all my expectations during this short course. I loved that you are very approachable at the same time as being a very concise but supportive teacher. You gave me the necessary confidence and knowledge to explore the technique in my personal life.”

“The rope sessions thats I have experienced with Sophia have been unique. There is sometimes a little pre-planning on the rope and the positions, but Sophia ensures that each session feels like a journey of exploration, with every session being a different free flowing combination of ties. The twin sensation of rope on skin and being bound, often in partial suspension, creates a zen like state of awareness for me.”

“Sophia is so easy to relax around. I had met her at a weekly ropes event, and asked to do a one to one session with my partner for rope play. The time went so quickly, we were made to feel completely at ease, learnt so much and went away feeling inspired to practice as much as possible. It was a pleasure to learn from someone to knowledgeable on the subject, and happy to explore it in the way we feel most comfortable. Highly highly recommend.”

“I've now had two sessions with Sophia. In the first I was tied on the floor as an almost total beginner bottom and was blown away by the connection and intimacy of the experience. I felt so safe and assured of being looked after that I was able to fully experience the sensations and emotions which being tied brought out for me, in an utterly non-judgemental environment, and my anxieties seemed to take flight as the rope was wrapped around my body by such a confident, knowledgeable, warm and supportive Top. For our next session, some months later, after I had spent some time learning more about rope bondage and my relationship with it, I was suspended for the first time. Sophia took such care ensuring it was, again, a deeply connective and revelatory experience and gave me the space and time in the rope to feel it all fully. I will never forget those feelings and am very much looking forward to our next session.

As a client coming to Sophia with physical disabilities and significant historic trauma around certain kinds of restraint, I cannot speak highly enough of her approach to these issues and attention to understanding what makes her client tick and working around their limitations. Throughout our discussions and ties I felt fully respected and attended to as a human being with a complex emotional world - Sophia's gentleness, open-minded attitude and clarity with regard to both her and my boundaries and limits are worth their weight in jute! I firmly recommend her services based on my experience with her - 10/10, 5 stars, A grade treatment.”

“Just wanted to share how much we enjoyed House of Venus last night. Myself and my partner were nervous about attending as we've not explored our dynamic in public before and very little experience in rope at all, but we had absolutely no need to be. Was a really wonderful event, welcoming and warm. It makes such a difference to the vibe when the event is femme/them led, was a lovely energy. Thank you to everyone involved.”

“I attended a 121 workshop with Sophia focusing on an introduction to rope, tying and cbt play. I was a little nervous about how I would keep my beautiful adhd brain attentive and focused for a full 2.5 hours! But Sophia's deep knowledge and understanding of the world of rope and her effortless and calm teaching style, combined with regular comfort check ins ( for both myself and my sub) and a focus on how you as an individual learn new skills, the time flew by and I felt focused and connected the whole way through. Sophia's experience and connection to the energy and beauty of rope flow through her work and her teaching beautifully and I would highly recommend training with her whatever your experience but especially as someone new to rope.”

“I was quite apprehensive as it was one of my first kink/rope experiences, so didn't know what to expect but your teaching style was very down to earth and practical. I've found in the past that people in the kink scene take themselves a bit too seriously so became inaccessible, but you were very open and that helped me grasp the concepts quickly. I enjoyed how you let us flow and kept encouraging us to trust ourselves. In summary, it was an excellent class, and even though I didn't know what I wanted when I signed up, I left feeling like I had everything I needed. Thank you! This removed any expectations other than what felt natural.”

“I've pretty much changed my approach to rope as a result of going through your workshop. I feel better equipped to enjoy rope as a beginner. Now I'm concentrating on enjoying the sensual nature of rope and the process.”

“I went to a rope workshop with Sophia in November 2022. It was such a positive and empowering experience that made me feel safe and educated. I tried not have too much in the way of expectations going in but I felt like I gained so much understanding, knowledge and inspiration as a result of going.”

“We wanted to find someone to teach us the basics of rope before we started experimenting ourselves and finding Sophia was the perfect fit and more than we could have wished for. We were made very relaxed and comfortable from the start. Her manner and teaching style was beyond perfect. We left feeling very relaxed and with all the basics we could hope for to continue by ourselves also the follow up advice and service is amazing. We would recommend anyone who is curious about learning about rope tying to contact Sophia as your first step. we will definitely be booking again to learn more. Thank you again.”

“I found you incredibly warm, gentle and easy to follow. I appreciated the way you hold space and the comfort you bring to teaching. I feel like I learned a lot and also benefited deeply from the communal experience. You showed me that the type of rope that I’m interested in (sensual, loving, meditative) doesn’t exist only in my head.”

“My husband and I attended an introduction to rope workshop together, not really knowing what to expect. We had so much fun! Sophia was warm and personable, and presented information in a way that was easy to take in, giving us lots of time to practice and get creative. The studio felt welcoming, and was a lovely space to learn in. We both felt we came away with lots of new skills, as well as information about the risks and consent that will inform our practice going forward. I’m so glad we did Sophia’s workshop - it has definitely laid some groundwork to build on, and I now feel much more confident about just playing with rope and enjoying the process!”
